I've eaten here many times since 2008. Food is ALWAYS very good, service is great! I will stop in any time I am in the area & regularly recommend.

Had our daughters baptism there with a party of 40, they did an absolutely phenomenal job! John took great care of us, the food was phenomenal, the bartender was attentive, and the done was gorgeous and felt recently renovated. 3 couples there for the party said they wanted to go next time they’re in town to visit! Can’t recommend enough.

Used to go here all of the time, bring friends there, family meals- all of it. It had SO MUCH personality and history. A real throw-back. During Covid someone decided to renovate it and now it’s like an anonymous restaurant in anywheresville. And the pizza dough recipe seems to have changed. That ended it for us. Oh well…

I’m not one to write a review … but on this one I have to say something. The Mango Blackened Mahi is so delicious , a must. And a small bar pie to accompany the entree never hurts too. 😊. Val’s still got it! ❤️

Sat at the bar. The bartender was very attentive. However the food that consisted of shrimp avocado wrap only had shrimp and no avocado. After they brought the avocado it was literally Rock hard. I ordered blackened mahi andwich that was fishy and extremely overdone. Good local vibes, please improve the kitchen.

Got here on a Saturday while escaping the super crowded places along the beach. There was a trio playing some jazz and they were really good, except for the level of the music which was too high. Sat outside and then our problems were solved. Service was great, always checking on us to make sure everything was alright and the food was real nice. The calamari was amazing as it was cooked perfectly, not chewy.

Disappointed in the food quality and service. Basically, a overrated sports bar. Do not get the lobster pie....

Went here last evening for the first time ever. Asked the bartender ( Mike ) how is the Chicken Pot Pie, he responded it’s great, I highly recommend it, so I ordered it. A huge mistake. The chicken was as tough and dry as shoe leather, so bad that after chewing for what seemed like forever, I finally had to spit it out. The vegetables seemed like canned vegetables and the gravy was a milky tasteless mess. The crust was its only redeeming value. The charge was$26 but it wasn’t worth.26 cents. Surely won’t be returning anytime soon
