This place is a hidden gem deserving to be featured on the food network. !!!! If you want a chef, a place that truly cares about the quality of food then you must come here. Reference this post and you'll be family. This is a destination place!!!!

The bartender was super nice, cool place but most of the food we got was awful. Couldn’t even eat it. The onion rings were the only thing that was good. The pirate burger was way too salty and completely chard. The side of rice you get for the shrimp tacos was awful couldn’t eat it. The shrimp tacos were pretty good though. Won’t be back.

Very well decorated place with a very neat and unique aquarium bar countertop. Brian greeted us and was the best! He made us feel welcomed. The food was outstanding and service was great. Already On track to bring my go to bar!

Owner was wearing all hats, but did a great job despite being a one woman show! We had great food and a wonderful experience.

This was the first time we've been here and the food blew us away!! Great place, Brian the owner was awesome!! Great job, we will be back, the Shrimp lime tacos were amazing, and the hand breaded mushroom appetizer just awesome!!!

(Thanks for the experience at a new restaurant (( insert sarcasm here.)))This was to be an exciting first time for myself and 5 friends as we had never been there before. My best friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here this evening. However, we were served disappointment after disappointment.There were only a few tables occupied tonight. It was a very slow evening. However, the service we received was geared towards standing room only. Our table had 6 people.The food arrived at different times so we couldn't enjoy dinner together. And, it ranged from cold to good temps. The server could not tell is how food was prepared. I have a shellfish allergy and was told my food was cooked separately from the regular meal. As I tried to itch my skin off, and 1 of our guests had to leave our dinner to get me extra medication, I am calling bulls**t. Hours later, I am still suffering from the aftermath. I had to leave my friend's bday celebration in order to shower and medicate properly.0%, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The brisket was extremely dry and the shrimp po boy was just awful compared to what it could have been. The drinks were fine. One waitress tonight doing it all. The food was edible at its best.

The bartender was great don’t get me wrong but this place was way too overpriced for the quality of food. Didn’t even meet bar and grill quality in my opinion. Was not expecting to pay $90 for a meal at a bar and grill when I could go to a better one and get 2 meals for 40

I feel like this is a hidden gem!!!! Haf the Onion rings, and they are the best I've had!!!! Thick and breaded well! Had bruchetta with salmon, definitely worth it! Highly recommended for a hidden place to visit! You can tell this is ran by the owner because they prefer quality wayyy over the quantity! A true must visit! The success explains it all!!!
Miserable experience with the service. I usually post pictures and discuss the food but everything was colored by the rude waitress. I should have left and didn't, so I spent a lot of money in a place I felt unwelcome. I wouldn't suggest this experience- find another more welcoming place with better service.

Just left, not going to bother with a review of the food because it was ok, it was the horrible, sparky waitress that ruined a family night out. We are a restaurant going family so no one was out of pocket, just had questions about the food on the paper menu that had no descriptions & that seemed to make her angry. Sorry for asking questions. Even rude when Mt grandson asked what the sauce was (ranch) provided instead of ketchup for his fries. No need to make a child feel bad.

Great drink/cocktail menu and delicious, well prepared food. The menu is not super extensive, but everything we ordered was delicious (cheeseburgers, shrimp sandwich, fish sandwich). The larger entrees and appetizers looked good, also. The BEST part of our visit was the attentive, kind, and truly helpful service. The aquarium bar is pretty cool-looking too!

Quiet evening, popped in for dinner. Tried a new menu item, the Salmon Benedict. It was AMAZING. I hope it stays on the menu.
