Me and my daughter loved the atmosphere and we were lucky to come in while live Polish band was playing. Such a fun place with great food. Must try is definitely German chocolate cake😋 We will be back soon for sure!“

“I just read a story about these people went to eat and witness something was so totally wrong . A trooper came into this restaurant and was refused service. All these was based on the owners feelings about the law enforcement. These men and women put thier life’s on the line to protect everyone including you Mr. Owner. This puts a bad taste in my mouth about the owner , not the restaurant. This owner has good people working for him and they do make good food. However I will never go to this restaurant ever again. All this happened two hours after the Bristol’s policeman was killed on duty.“

“super laid back, chill, and romantic date night cocktail bar. their drinks and tapas are amazing!“

“I made a reservation here on a Saturday for a date night with my wife and we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool. The service and food were all very good. (We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“First time here, but I was very impressed by the food and service. I'm trying to eat a more plant-based diet and the veggie quesadilla was not only delicious, but extremely satisfying and filling. One of a few places that actually have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis! Will definitely stay here again!“

“Great deal on oysters, it say u typically spend 30-50$ but thats not true for me as everything i get here (oysters, drinks, appetizers) is super well priced compared to max’s oyster bar or somewhere else.

Shoutout to Gopi the man! Real friendly nice bartender that hooks you up.“

“I’m not sure why the recent reviews I’m reading through now are on the negative side! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant (we happened to be in the area), and immediately were met with excellent hospitality. I am gluten free and vegetarian, so finding a place with kind servers and food I can eat is becoming increasingly difficult. They serve complimentary bread up front (which most restaurants don’t even bother with anymore) and have an option for gluten free bread(if you ask for it) at a slight up-charge. I ordered the Korean rice bowl and my husband ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese..the food came out super fast and was delicious. I have a very low spice tolerance, so I thought my bowl was on the slightly spicier side..but it’s Korean style food so that’s to be expected. We ordered a peanut butter bar for dessert, also gluten free. I didn’t get a picture unfortunately, but it’s was super rich but not too sweet. Definitely worth the trip!! People need to start writing more positive reviews for places because this restaurant definitely deserves more positivity.“

“Umm... Amazing! I don't know anyone can rate other than 5 stars!!! The food was out if this world. Fresh and delicious seafood. Everything we had was top notch.“

“This was our date night location. We've been to this place before but under a different name. Good selection of beers. Music playing in the background was older rock and roll. Service was great and attentive. We started out with some smoked wings a nice change over traditional deep fried style. I had the Philly Cheese Steak grinder with their house chips. TV'S displaying sports and local news in the background.“

“Awesome food, great pizza, and fun atmosphere!“

“Went for a bite with our family last night. Our waiter Jackson was fantastic. Fun personality and very attentive. He was very engaged with my 5year old, which made my son’s night. Thank you for being so engaging with him. Food and drinks were good, service was fast. Clean atmosphere.“

“Absolutely love this place.. Great atmosphere, food and staff! Love the outside dining option. I will be back for football season for sure!“

“Wow! Best burger on the Pike. Fries were crisp and delicious. You just can’t beat their $10.99 package. October 14, 2023.“

“Been several times! While the burger left much to be desired, the pizza is spectacular! As well as the wings. We sit at the bar every time and the bartenders are always amazing“

“good really good good food“

“This place is an entire vibe. We stopped in during Middletown Pride today and not only was the restaurant unique, with a very boricua aesthetic, very much upscale island vibes, with swing seats, cultural decor, but the music was incredible! The drinks were beautiful and delicious, but THE FOOD. Omg. Incredible. They may not have planned for the Pride crowds because our server, Jennifer was handling all the tables, inside and out, but she did it with grace. I will definitely be back!“

“A gem of a restaurant with river views as the backdrop! My family and I made reservations for 9 for my mom’s bday & they were so accommodating and friendly! Our seats outside were perfect & the food was 😋😋 we brought our own cake and they kept it cool for us until it was time for dessert! Would highly recommend especially with nicer weather ahead!“
