our server Maria was phenomenal! Her attitude and personality are infectious. We have had hit and miss experiences at Threes but thought we would give it another try. The coconut crusted stripped marlin (fish of the day) was out of this world. 3 of the 4 at the table had it in some form or another and raved about it. (keep it if you can!) Wish you had live music to liven up the place. We actually go to places with mediocre food just for the atmosphere of live music. (one is around the corner from you) The Vibe/environment is a large part of the dining experience.

We enjoyed our visit to the brewery and got to taste several beers that we were very happy with - hoppy IPAs, nitro stouts, etc. as well as a great mai tai! We ordered happy hour food, and were a little disappointed with the nachos - LOTS of dry chips, not enough guac or sour cream - the truffle fries were great, as was the huli huli chicken.
