It was lunchtime and they have a simple lunchtime menu. Bang bang shrimp for $5 was pretty ok. Shoestring fries were a little over cooked but added enough ketchup and I ate them up. Service was great and the music was fun. It’s a ok spot for a couple of old gals wanting to get out of the house in the winter time.

First time visiting here and we'll definitely be back. While it was insanely loud due to college GameDay, it was still a blast. Everyone seemed to know everybody else and there was a great sense of community. The sushi was amazing, as were the fish tacos and the teriyaki bowl. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive.

The menu was predominantly seafood, with several pub style options for the non-seafood crowd. The food was fantastic - we tried the sushi, calamari, clam strips, and oysters. They were all wonderful and our server Matt was very attentive.
