We were fine with the 40-minute wait that was more like an hour. What we were not fine with was seeing multiple white guests who arrived after us being seated first. There was also another Black family who appeared to be overlooked as well. There was no apology—just a clear message that we were not welcome in this establishment.

This is always one of the first places we go when we have a date night. It never disappoints. The reason we go here without the kids is because we want to enjoy ourselves and not be in a rush. we just went here last night for our anniversary and everything was chef's kiss was usual.

Fanfreakingtastic!!!
Food was hot and plentiful. Flounder was a nice piece. Shrimp were cooked to perfection. Services was friendly and efficient.
It’s nice to dine at a restaurant that is locally owned that checks all of our boxes. We are stuffed!
