    Delicious very clean and inviting atmosphere, very busy I enjoyed the cod fish with coconut rice sauce. My friend doesn’t like coconut and didn’t apparently read the menu. Looking forward to going back. Wish they had more fish entrees selection.

    The food was exceptional. Service was friendly and professional. Lively crowd. Good variety of drinks. My only gripe is the 2 person seating is very close together. Not a fan of being able to eat off a stranger's plate. An additional 6 inches of spacing would do wonders for privacy/make for a more intimate dating experience. Outdoor seating also available. Recommended!

    This place is a hidden gem, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food of course is the star of the show. Our reservation was for four people and each one of us was raving about our meals, appetizers AND desserts. I think we have found a new regular spot!

    I grew up on CSH and was back for a significant high school reunion. I was so glad to see that the beautiful church was utilized in such a wonderful way. The restaurant exceeded my expectations and will be my go to from now on.
