Our server was friendly but absent. A member of our group ordered the Blue Cactus Pizza. When it arrived it looked quite good but proved to be under-cooked. Would not go back due to the marginal service and the under-cooked food. Too bad because it has a very nice interior and relaxing atmosphere.

Very nice atmosphere inside the place. Went on a Sunday afternoon and it seemed like they were under staffed. The menu was limited though the food we ordered tasted great. I never had chicken that tasted like mango before and I was quite impressed. My only complaint was that it was a bit dry and could of used a bit of sauce. The service was very slow and the waitress never came back for refills or to check up on how things were. I also noticed a table next to me having issues with them not receiving any kind of sauce for their food/salad. I'd probably only go back for a drink or two, I wouldn't make a point of eating at the place though. Limited menu and slow service hampered it. The prices of the food were fair, drinks were a bit pricey.

We sat at the bar to start- and what a beautiful bar it is, the design and decor is very trendy. The bartender was friendly yet hardly spoke to us...seemed shy?! Not an appropriate job for someone who can hardly say two words to a customer. During our meal we enjoyed great music; our server was very pleasant and had much knowledge of the menu. Keep up the good work staff and management!

Shame on me for not reading the restaurant reviews beforehand. Blue Cactus appeared to be a fun place with good atmosphere. It was busy, so we knew we would have to wait a bit...but two tables who sat down after us were served, ate their food and were ready to pay before we got our food. When she brought the food, the waitress apologized and said they would take the meal off the bill, which was good and that's why service gets a "2". However she didn't check up on us and when she gave us the bill, we never saw her again. Eventually after about 15 minutes, we just grabbed another server to run our credit card through. All told, dinner took 2.5 hours. The food was ok, but not worth it to me to go back.
