    Service was not very good. Server may have been new but we waited long times for drinks, appetizer came after main course & she obviously didn’t know much about menu. Venue & atmosphere were excellent. Nice spot but service was poor and food was just good, not great.

    The waitress (I can’t remember her name) was so extra sweet and attentive to us and our two little kids. Her son works there and was really sweet also. The food was excellent as well! We will definitely be back!

    We really enjoyed our experience. We were able to get in at great time of the evening. Good cocktails, the food was delicious, and our service was super. It is dressy casual, and just what we were looking for after a day on the beach.

    I was looking for a beach-side restaurant with a good view and good food for Mother's Day brunch. I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident; no one from my group (6 of us) had been to this restaurant before. We were all glad that we went here for brunch and intend to return!

    Food was pretty average. We ordered risotto that was very undercooked and the wedge salad had cheddar cheese instead of the typical blue cheese. Overall it was just an average meal.
