“What a great hole-in-the-wall. This place rocked!

It was such a welcoming environment, having your typical dive-bar look, but also super warm and friendly.

The food was so flavorful and original. We had the wings, and they were charred to perfection with the perfect amount of siracha honey sauce. Other people in our party had the stuffed avocado and shrimp wraps, and both said they were great!

Our server was super friendly and informative. She did a fantastic job at making sure we were accommodated during our meal. If we’re in the area again, we’ll be sure to be back!“
