Great food at reasonable prices. And Nik gives you fabulous service and lots of entertainment too!!! Ask for Nik!!!
This is the place to go for creative, tasty food at an outdoor place with a fun vibe! The twist they put on each item is just delish. The mozzarella sticks are ginormous and perfectly gooey. Everything we tried was next level yummy. Go here hungry and ready to hang out and enjoy the evening and maybe share w friends.

4 in our party. Grouper doesn’t taste or look like grouper. Go elsewhere for a good meal, it’s worth the price. Shrimp stuffed crab has so much hollandaise sauce you can’t taste any of it. Good luck if you go. The staff were fabulous but not worth the food or price.
