"Food was very good and prices are reasonable. Grilled Talipia over pimento cheese hash was one of the best dishes I have had in a while. I will definitely go back. Service was little slow even though they were not crowded but the server was very pleasant and helpful about the menu."

"The food was ok. Nothing special. Our server was very unattentive. We we there 15 minutes before we were even acknowledged. Didn't get our drinks til the appetizer was already out. Had to ask for silverware. Got a steak and was only given a butter knife. Had to ask for different things several times. We will give it another chance with another server and entree."

"The food for the Valentine special menu was outstanding. I had the tuna that was delicious and my partner had the steak which was delicious as well. The presentation was really good. All courses were really good and timed perfectly."
