    Never had a bad experience until yesterday. Service at the bar was unacceptable. Bread coming after we finished our salads. Same with peppers for pizza. Long wait to order. I sure wouldn't want to get this server ever again.

    The outside patio had just the slightest breeze to ease the summer heat. Get the banana cream pie or the key lime pie for dessert!

    This is our favorite local restaurant. The only drawback is the noise level - way too loud. It's hard to have a conversation. I really don't understand why restaurants think it's necessary to have loud background music. I am especially sensitive to noise, and I dine out to socialize with family and friends, not to listen to music. Unfortunately. there aren't other options. Otherwise, an excellent experience. We were celebrating a birthday. Tony, our server, was very gracious, attentive, & a real pro. My elderly mother was with us and he anticipated her needs like a mind reader! We had the crabcake dinner, crusted chicken, chicken salad, & black + blue flatbread. So delicious!! We had also celebrated a 95th birthday there last month with 11 people. So despite the noise, we still enjoy dining there.

    We celebrated 2 birthdays Saturday afternoon and it was such a special meal! Everything was perfect. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious and the overall experience was top tier. I have speech and hearing issues and our table was located at the very best place so we could completely understand and enjoy everything about this celebration. Thank you!
