The food and service were excellent. They have a new craft bartender and he's friendly and his drinks are beautiful and tasty, paired with the food it makes a nice evening. Only thing I'd say is look at the crownd and choose better music. It would be nice to see a live band on a Friday but otherwise everything was on point. Service was so fast I felt like we ordered and the food was right out minutes later. Everything was perfectly cooked and displayed. It was a great experience after a long week.

I had been fasting all day so I couldn't wait to break it at this restaurant. Upon entering, I really didn't like the 3 people standing in front of the doors. It made it hard to be seen and seated and kinda made it hard for people entering the building. Once seated, I ordered my drinks and food. Everything was delicious, but as soon as I got home, I think I got food poisoning because I was literally on the toilet the remaining night until 4 am. It was awful. Had to call off work today.

Nice to relax on the patio with a cocktail and a delicious appetizer while listening to live music. Senia was a wonderful waitress who we enjoyed meeting.

Very welcoming place. Great environment. Clean inside and out. Very attentive and friendly staff. We ordered the Roland's lobster and bacon wrapped dates. Food was delicious!! Also, we mentioned our birthdays to our server, Gage, and he went above and beyond and mustered up the crew to sing Happy Birthday to us! Bonus was the live band playing in the patio. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Will definitely be returning! 🤘🏽😎
