“Love the vibe, feels like Key west. Grrrrreat times. Fantastic bartenders, craft cocktails, the food trucks are out of this world… always excellent entertainment, and management runs an extremely tight ship. No riffraff and they close fairly early of the evening. Absolutely love it.“

“Always a nice time in the Brown Room! Although it's very hard to get in, we sometimes get lucky & get seats. I love listening to the music, enjoying a cocktail & sometimes something to eat. Recently I enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie plate. Service is good. I remember this place used to take reservations & they no longer do. Perhaps they should go back to that so that everyone gets a chance to get in there as some people camp out there for hours! The interior is so lovely!“

“Fins still has great food as was there 10 years ago for its gran opening- plus over ther years. Most recently 7/19/25 and the combo shrimp and clump crab salad is wonderful- cold, lite mayo, and presentation wonderful. The filet was cooked as requested and flavored well. Fries hot and crispy as ordered. Denise our server was awesome, friendly, knew her job- and believe is one of the two original servers still there. She was a doll!“
