Food and staff are amazing! We do come here nearly every time we are down, and is hands down one of our favorite places. We took our parents for dinner tonight because it is their favorite spots too, and everything was excellent including the relaxing live music 🎵. I have to give an extra shout out for the homemade banana cream and peanut butter 🥧!

What a fantastic little place! The food is absolutely delicious and our server was awesome! It is quaint and unassuming, and kind of off the beaten path, but so worth it! Go in the off season to avoid the crowds, and be sure to try the crabcakes!

Really wonderful, locally owned restaurant. Above and beyond on the menu selections. Hard to choose from so many delicious entrées and apps. Beer and wine only. Service is excellent!
