Always a phenomenal experience! We go every year for our anniversary dinner and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food and amazing service you receive is exceptional. Our favorite piano player was there and set the ambience for the evening. Thank you once again for a terrific evening.

Great ribs and brisket as were the accompanying beans and cornbread. Server was very good - appropriately attentive and personable. We ate on the outside patio. No island scenery to speak of, but it was just fine if you’re in the mood for BBQ.
