Was here during Colonial Beach Bike Fest. Was a pleasant trip and the atmosphere was still welcoming. No wait when we arrived and the shrimp was delicious. Service was fast with just two bartenders and they were friendly and fun!

I really enjoyed the pizza. I was there on September 6, 2025, with a friend and her son. I'm from Russia, and my friend is from the Dominican Republic. We drank cocktails and enjoyed ourselves. The pizzeria employee was a nice girl.

The service was nice and the interior and patio are both nice to sit at. But this place serves the kind of food that, once you step out of the restaurant, you feel like you got robbed. The food is not good, even the products that seemed ready made and reheated (like many of the appetizers, calamari, mozzarella sticks, etc.) were bland. Portions are terrible especially considering the price and the quality of the food. It is rare for me to be served food at any establishment and feel disappointed, but the second I saw our plates in front of us my stomach sank because it was so disappointing. I can’t get over having spend just over $20 tax and tip for a plate of fried calamari that had about 12 piece of calamari the size of my thumb that were rubbery and completely lacking any seasoning, not even a lemon wedge came on the plate. I would not recommend coming in for anything aside from a drink at the bar.

We came here on Labor Day and the service was horrible. We were directed to our table, given a menu and were never waited on. Finally decided to walk up to the bar to order calamari and when we received that, it was a handful for $17.95. We continue to wait for service which never happened so we left. It was like we were invisible.
