From the outside looking in you wouldn't know this is a must to experience. It's nice on the outside but it does a disservice to the food being served. The service is amazing as well. Omg I of course came on Valentines day so I'm not sure if what I ordered was for that special day but that oysters rockerfeller was amazing. That disservice of course of flawless. I love my service Shannon she recommended the pork chops and baby she didn't lie it's most definitely...

I would love to thank the staff and owner for taking very good care of us. At last minute we asked for a large room to invite family and friends to join us in celebrating our son's life after he passed at the age of 43 from cancer. We had little knowledge of who or how many may show up and as it turned out we had eight to ten more that we had estimated. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent along with the staff. Very pleased our son's oldest sister...

We haven't been to waves in years, so we decided to give it another try. The food was outstanding! Our server was more worried about his clean-up, and we weren't there at closing. I couldn't drink the margarita because it was like drinking straight tequila. Maybe some like it that way, but I wanted a margarita. If I wanted tequila, I would have ordered a shot! We may give it another try just because of the food.
