A laid back, restaurant with 10-12 tables in the main area. The staff were very attentive and offered recommendations on the menu. No rushing, but very responsive.

Solid bar menu and wide variety of entrees . The clam chowder was excellent and oysters so fresh. The halibut with mushroom sauce was superb and the bowls are a healthy take on seafood with a Caribbean salsa, rice and al dente seasonal vegetables.

Our waiter & the staff were so attentive and friendly. Our waiter kept checking in on us... It was my brother's bday and they comped 1 of the dessert (key lime) on the house. We have been going for years!
November 2025
We stopped in on a recommendation from a local. First we noticed location was ticked away and cute and small. Then we were seated by the window and chatted to the couple next to us about their dessert right before they left (they loved the blueberry cheesecake)
They were out of tap beers for some reason so we got an efes and sparkling water. Can’t mess those up.
Tostaditas we got for all was delish. Fresh and flavorful. There was 3.
For dinner we both...
