As promised, we came back to sample more of this restaurant's fare. Unfortunately, this time around we had poor service, and the food wasn't quite as good as last time.

The chicken and ribs platter was good, but the ribs were still the highlight. Their french onion soup was okay, and their salad was kind of wilty. Fortunately the margaritas were as good as ever, and we sampled a couple different flavors, which were both excellent. A note: they haven't printed new menus in a while, and they don't serve the 60oz margarita pichers that the menu claims they serve.

Bottom Line: Above average American food, but not as excellent as we first thought.

This American restaurant with a slight tropical theme is located in the Hollywood area of Woodinville. They serve standard American fare, a-la Red Robin, but the food is a bit better. We tried this place after a session at a nearby driving range, and I had to go for the ribs. Boy, were they tasty! Some of the best ribs I've had in quite a while. Well seasoned and prepared, they came with good fries and corn-on-the-cob. To fit with the tropical theme, I had a margarita, which was very strong and tasty. Service was average, but I was very impressed with the food. We'll have to come back and sample more of the menu.

Bottom Line: Great ribs and margaritas!
