Visited here after a spa day with my mom on Wednesday it was our first time. Derrick was our sever and he was great. The Pineapple Sangria was on special for 6.50 on Wednesday so I highly recommend you can do it with white or red wine we choose white wine and it was delicious ! We shared everything the crab dip the sweet and spicy shrimp which were a nice size also the crab cake sliders and beer battered fish tacos ! Everything tasted fresh which we appreciated we will definitely...

The food was excellent. Very well seasoned. The waitress was very kind, courteous and checked on us periodically. My daughter in law and I walked away satisfied and full. I have recommended this restaurant to friends and they all said they would definitely come again. Give them a try you wont be disappointed.
