    We went just yesterday for Father's day. Our server was wonderful and accommodating. My kid didn't realize that he had ordered a dish that had lots of sauce - they remade his dish without sauce. The nice surprise at the end was a mini chocolate cake that was to die for!

    They messed up my order twice, never apologized, and offered no solution. Very bad experience, especially for a Father’s Day lunch.

    The food was really good and at a great price point. Everything was flavorful except for the blackened fish sandwich. Onion soup, shrimp taquitos, tomato salad, prime rib melt and fries were all really good. Service was excellent.

    Food and service were very good. We sat outside and it was loud, but not so bad we couldn't hear each other. Food presentation and flavors were excellent. Overall, a nice dinner out.

Always love eating here either to celebrate or just spoil me and my guest!
