Good lunch spot on a cold January day. The crab cake was perfect. Big and cooked perfectly. The coleslaw was delicious and I’m not a fan of coleslaw. Staff was attentive and helpful. Place has a good relaxed vibe.

For a small restaurant, this place is surprisingly busy. Food is very good, however you can tell the wait staff is stretched far too thin. Good restaurant if you are looking for a nice breakfast stop
September 2025
The hostess was not friendly and uninterested. She kept scrolling on her phone with audio playing out-loud and wouldn’t greet guests; she’d simply walk off without saying anything expecting guests to follow her. The server was nice and friendly overall. Wait time for two was at least 40 minutes despite not being busy. The food was good and had good quantity. The water was not good and tasted like chemicals. Overall, 3/5.
