Two things you need to know off the bat. First, 21 and above only; no problem. Second, SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE everywhere; gross. Went to the opening last night, and it was packed and loud, but a good vibe and crowd. There was a band playing, but after talking with one of the owners that won't be an \"everyday\" thing, at least not for now. Even though it was busy, the servers were quick and prompt and very very friendly and upbeat. The decor is warmer and more inviting than when this place was Agave, with a lot of lounge chairs and tables replacing the old table booths. The patio is still there and will be a welcome place to hangout in the warmer weather. There is also a game room area, with video bowling, golfing, pool table, etc. And, the \"jukebox\" is pretty cool, with the ability to sync to your iPhone and music playlists. And of course plenty of TVs throughout to catch your fave sporting event.\n\nThis morning we decided to try out breakfast, since we were running errands in the area. We sat in the main bar area, and my first impression was \"I don't want to eat in a place that all I can smell is cigarette smoke.\" It's just not appealing. It didn't seem so smokey the night before, but this morning was a different story. The menu looks good, and they serve breakfast 24/7. My husband had the build your own breakfast burrito (sausage, spinach, tomato and cheese), and they forgot the sausage. I had the patty melt and it was \"meh\". Not great. Not horrible. I ordered a bloody mary...let's just say it needs work. Like, a lot of work. I don't know what I had, but it was no where close to a bloody mary, lacking in taste and \"zip.\" Our waitress seemed nervous, and I'll chalk it up to the place only being open for 2 days. But first impression, she had the personality of a log. On a side note, the manager came over and introduced herself and was very welcoming, perky and nice. Like I said, I'll chalk it up to nerves and the newness of it all.\n\nThis place has the potential to be a great locals hangout, and the owners are experienced restauranteurs/tavern/grill operators. We'll give it a month to work out the kinks and go back and give it another go. However, it'll have to be on the patio to avoid as much smoke as possible (if I want smoke with my food and drink, I'll go the casino across the street, or to the Irish bar at Boca Park; point is, Summerlin doesn't need another smokey bar/grill). And, maybe I'll hand the bartender a good bloody mary recipe while I'm at it.\n\nI do hope this place does well either way.
