I cannot eat black pepper and since they put it in most dishes my choices were limited. I decided on the Asian salad (with a different dressing) and received nothing but veggies in a bowl. An expensive bowl of uncooked veggies. Beyond that, they had music playing so everyone was yelling. It was difficult to hear anyone at the table. Not a pleasant experience.
Thanks for your reply. This has happened before at other restaurants. The owner says they can accommodate a blank pepper allergy but when I request help at the restaurant and the server checks with the cook, I'm narrowed down to one or two items on the menu. Best to leave it to the patron at the table to make the decision since there's usually black pepper there anyway.
Portions did not reflect price; food was not hot only warm; service was good
First rate dining experience supported by an appetizing menu and attentive service; and these bartenders know how to make a proper martini.
Perfect place to go if you want to sit down and stare at a wall because the last thing you will get there is service. Waited an hour to order our food , and left because no one came to take our order after we ordered drinks (which also took 30+ minutes to order)
Excellent beer and wine selection. Really tasty menu options with a wife variety. Not just standard pub food. Overall enjoyed the experience. My favorite party was for a shared app, entre and beer, it was under $40 with the tip. Would highly recommend.
I wish I had known that their gluten free options were not the same as their on the menu options. I had heard the restaurant had a separate frier for gluten free orders and was so excited to try a new seafood spot, however the fried cod reuben I received was a cold batterless cod salad. The tarter sauce was more like a thin mayonnaise which soaked through the bread making it impossible to take out of the container. Beautiful establishment and friendly staff, but misleading info online led to an overall unpleasant experience.
Fantastic Service and Delicious Food 😋
Always a legendary place.
Walked in and told they were fully booked but we could sit at the bar. An hour later the restaurant is still empty. We were never checked up on during our meal. Thirty minutes then passed between them taking our plates and bringing our check.
Jess was my bartender. She was awesome and very attentive she made sure the bar was well maintained while the bar back was making sure everything was stocked the whole time believe his name was Nathan.

Delicious food, cool vibe, and good service
Such kind wait staff, the food and drinks are delicious! I was so surprised to see such a wide variety of food on the menu, and I will definitely be going back just to try each one!
If it was not for Amanda, I probably would not come back. We ordered margaritas, our drinks were so weak. We asked if we could have another shot in them. They refused or ones that I charges eight dollars, but amanda was announced standing waitress
Great spot great atmosphere across the street from the water just went yesterday they have outdoor chairs set up definitely plan on going during the summer time
Bouncer was lounging on the couch near front door, asking for my ID while he was sitting down spread eagle... Thought he was a college kid waiting for an Uber trolling me... In the midst of the confusion he put both arms in front of my chest and shoved me out the front door without warning. I won't be returning.
