It was literally 4 miles into the desert. That made it awesome. However, the ambience was negligible. The staff wore t-shirts with the company name. Some ethnic appearances and music would have added a nice touch. The food was adequate with the grilled meats tasting of charcoal. Nothing special about this place other than the location. It's really too bad. It has great potential but needs some guidance and enthusiasm
