Great food and ambiance. Service can be a little slow due to being sat all at once. Friendly staff!

We stopped Sunday for burgers and it was not crowded at all. We ordered and a half hour later sever came back and said they were out of rolls but we could have bread. We said ok. Then another half hour later server came back and said out of fries with no alternative offered. We just ordered wings and calamari instead. Wings were good and they comped our drinks but wouldn’t go back. Kind of sad really

We got into the restaurant fairly quickly on Saturday for lunch hour, but then things went downward. We all sat down and got our menus. We told the waiter our order of salads and kids meals and sat there for a while. Some other people came in, and they got their food and drinks before us. The waiter kept popping in and out and avoiding eye contact with us. There were no appetizers and they never checked in on us. We waited for and hour and 45 minutes until we decided to get up and leave the server said “ I don’t blame you!” No bread, no drinks on the house, nothing. I would not go there again and I definitely do not recommend.

been here many times very very good. outdoor seating. the oysters on thursdays is a great idea.my only beef is that they do not offer gift certificates. gift certificate offerings would be great

Great find. Quiet rainy day but the food was hot and good. A Blat (bacon lettuce avocado tomato with perfectly well done fries) and the pic of the chicken over spaghetti was as good as it looks. And the appy . Not too far to go again. Service was also good. Nice selection of items including GF.

I love this place, they have the kindest people working there and the nicest owner! We love eating here and sitting outside in the hot months and even some of the cooler months. They have some great apps and entrees and are always delicious and consistent. My favorite entree is the shrimp and grits, it's very hard to find good grits! And I love the Brussels and blue cheese app! Mouthwatering!

I just love these guys. Chill atmosphere, great service and just a lovely place to hang out, have a drink and Vance some food. Sit outside and enjoy.
Terrible service. I was waited for 35 minutes for a burger and a salad after asking for my food. I got it cold in altogether I asked for a salad with no cheese, and unfortunately as well got it with cheese, just forgot about my order altogether, they just forgot about my order altogether.It is my second time in that place and I will not come back again. Darren the service is just terrible.Don’t even think to eat in that place because you’re gonna get disappointed,As well after I said that I’m leaving no manager, or somebody responsible was thinking to come and talk to me they Just told me have a good night

As someone who came from NYC, $17 for 10 pieces of subpar calamari is insane. Staff is nice, drinks are fine.

Second time here in last 2 years. They have reduced the menu since my last visit. Got the horseradish prime rib sandwich and asked for salad instead of fries. They upcharge I think 3.99 for salad which was only a small handful of greens and ginger dressing didn't taste at all like ginger. Sandwich was on a sub roll instead of ciabatta and was only OK. Not much horseradish taste. Ate half. Outdoor seating is nice, they have big umbrellas they move around to give you shade which is nice. $15 lemon drop martini was just OK. Not sure I am going to rush back here but it's not terrible and it's near the water.

I had a terrible experience here with my wife and 2 year old here on memorial day weekend. It took 20 minutes for anyone to come over to us to take our order. This was a major red flag so we decided to put our whole order including drinks through. 40 minutes pass and our food is still not here. The window of my 2 year old’s patience is over so im just about to get up and leave but im better than that. I finally just ask for the food to go, which i finally receive 20 minutes later while my wife takes my 2 yr old for a walk to calm her down. I Saw as i left they were denying people seating because “the kitchen was short staffed.” I guess no body wants to work for the incompetent owners. 1 hr 20 min of my time gone waiting for food that i had to take out. They still got my money though. I guess thats all they care about. I wont be back and made sure to tell everyone at work and friends and family to skip this place.
