    The food was very flavorful and tasty, but the chicken was fried a little too hard. The service was excellent, but staff should not only wipe down tables, but also wipe off the chairs and sweeping the floors.

    We took my husband here to celebrate Father’s Day. The ambience was beautiful. The server was attentive and courteous, and the appetizer came out quickly. We ordered the chili crab oysters and they were delicious! The drinks (Blueberry Lemon Crush/Old Fashioned) were great, too. Dinner took a hit. The table ordered the Cioppino, the Spicy Chicken sandwich, the ceviche, and the 1/2 Nashville fried chicken. The cioppino was lovely, but the fish and shrimp were overcooked. The lemon sauce on the ceviche was unbearable and the accompanying plantain chips were unseasoned. The absolute best thing on the menu was the Nashville fried chicken. It was tender, juicy and full of flavor. I will visit again just to order this dish!
