Santana Mavericks N Grill

A patio with a view of the lake. That's the best feature and the reason why we chose this restaurant for dinner. Beyond that, the lakefront between the patio and the lake is dismal and weedy with more dead fish than live ones. The service was mediocre and the food was likewise. I don't know when I'll be back in town, but I will probably not be back to S M's when I do.

Yuk. Lowest quality possible of food I've eaten on this trip. Tasted like it was right out of the freezer, only thing going for this place was the view. Seems to be like the MO for places around here. They can get away with low quality food because of the location

--- **Dine-In Experience** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price Range per Person:** $20–30 **Food Quality:** ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations. The dishes lacked flavor and creativity, leaving much to be desired. **Service Quality:** ★★★★★ (5/5) On a positive note, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. **Atmosphere:** ★★★★☆ (4/5) The ambiance of the restaurant was enjoyable. It had a pleasant decor and a comfortable vibe, making it a nice place to relax while dining. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were commendable, the food fell short. I would recommend it for the service alone, but hopefully, they can improve their culinary offerings in the future. --- Let me know if you'd like any changes!

On our first visit, I had the salmon dinner, and it was simply perfect. The next time, I chose the garlic grilled shrimp salad, which was so delicious that I ordered it again on my subsequent visit. After that, I tried the fajita salad, and it was absolutely heavenly. On our fifth visit, I opted for the salmon salad, and it was just as amazing. We love arriving early to enjoy the comfortable patio and take in the lake view; it’s just perfect for us. Great food, a beautiful view, and friendly service make for an ideal experience. A few times, Santana was our server, and he is truly a gem. We definitely plan to return, and I hope they consider adding heaters for the patio on cooler days.

The service was incredibly rude, and the food was absolutely disgusting. The nachos had chicken that was rotten and smelled like fish. We couldn't even bring ourselves to eat it. It was truly nauseating.
