Our waiter was terrific. The turkey dinner was not as good as usual. Soggy stuffing, not enough gravy. Just not prepared as good as usual.

Though we mistakenly thought there was a happy hour (that would still be great!), we had a great time in the bar. Appetizers were quite delicious and all of the servers were delightful! Exterior of restaurant is strange and off-putting, but interior is warm and tropical, surprising setting for the location. We will definitely return.
