Another great Friday evening experience! Lots of people and great energy, both inside and out. Food was very good-- club sandwich, smash burger, spicy chicken sandwich. Fries are great! Quick refills on drinks, super-friendly service!

Such a great place!! LOVE the energy in every part of this restaurant. We normally sit at the bar, but this time we were in the restaurant Fish fry is perfect ( including generous salad), pork nachos were a special treat, and the Cuban sandwich was the best we've ever had! Also love the outdoor vibe---volleyball-watching is a blast! Fantastic management and servers!!

Love the bar /bartender, Mike...he's so efficient !! Manages food /drink orders with ease. Generous wine pours. Fish fry is delicious, and comes with large, loaded salad. Great for Fridays in Lent, or anytime!
