very slow service at bar. not even a busy weekend. staff said we could take glass outside but that was not true. took 20 mins to get a pretzel. disappointed.

We ate here today. It was our first time. We loved the food and the atmosphere. It has an interesting history. Definitely worth the drive.

Came here for a late lunch Friday afternoon after a beach day and sat inside. Lots of people sitting on the patio, so a great sign! We had the Portobello sandwich and Mahi Mahi tacos. Yum! Great food and great service!
