We started with complimentary bread & oil, then devoured fried oysters. I enjoyed the short rib kofta with zucchini & German potato salad, while my friend savored the salmon entree. For dessert, we had to try the in-house-made sarsaparilla-glazed donuts & ice cream. Everything was top-notch!“

My mom had been here with her parents in college in the early 80s and clearly Casey is carrying the mantle well. Thank you especially to our server, Rachel!“

“I only give five stars after the experience on Saturday. The night before I dined in, I already was having lousy service through out my stay, started with no napkin wrapped utensils (this came _after_the entree) water had to be asked explicitly after ordering a White Russian, the meal came out OK. I ordered a desert to go and walked back to my hotel to only realize i didn’t ask for them resulting me in already a difficult couple days to be worse to the point I’m breaking down in public the hysteria bounced off the buildings. By the time I turned to the alley corner by the 110, I automatically regained composure I walk back in - hostess wasn’t to be seen, but a waitress named Lydia answered me at the door remembering me from my visit almost a year ago. I explain what happened and after addressing it I told her “you made my day” she told me she’d be in all day on Saturday so I go to the bar and expierence was literally night vs day. She earned the twenty-five-pct extra on the check. Keep Lydia there at all costs she’s a special person in customer service when many places in the port city seemed to be lacking that of late.“

“Excellent food and drinks! A fun spot to go for martinis. I've lived in the area for over 4 years and hadn't stepped in until last night. The pecan crusted chicken is SO TASTY. I would order that again in a heartbeat. We also had the buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy and hot and the sweet potato fries were a nice accompaniment. They also brought out rolls with strawberry butter.

I tried 2 martinis, the grapefruit cosmo and the lemon drop (but I switched the blueberry vodka to raspberry vodka). Both were really good.

The place is split into 2 sections. The right side is the bar, which was packed and we weren't able to get a spot there. The dining room area to the left is a little bit quieter.“

I am not a beer drinker(sorry) so Lucy took the time to explain your Island District drinks to me. I left with a four pack after an amazing night of music, family, and good friends. Lucy and the team that were short staffed and super busy. She didn’t miss a beat. Amazing testament to your establishment . Looking for to our next visit!“
