Tonight was my first time eating here. The ambience is so cool, food was amazing, service was great, and 10/10 recommend. I want to go back and sit on the patio in the summer.

Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had

Thank you for making my engagement memorable! Our waitress Angela was amazingly sweet and beyond helpful, cannot thank her enough. The manger, Johnny, had a video taken so I will always have that memory and a beautiful set up overlooking the water. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️
