Why five stars? Well for at least thirty years, I’ve had the pleasure of food and service from dozens of cooks and servers that has been dependable as well as ‘man’ that was the right taste. Talk about a restaurant that cares (over three decades). They can be so easily overlooked because of our choices in dining, remember, they’re there for us!!! Stop in and experience really good food from folks that care!!

Service was amazing! I ordered tomato bisque soup, that was perfectly balanced! Then I ordered Stuffed Grilled Avocado with Caribbean rice with Ahi Tuna. I’m a food snob, but all of this paired together was outstanding! Hands down the best meal I’ve had on the west coast, besides fresh crab off the boat. Would recommend to anyone. Cooks were great and the waiter was great! Didn’t catch his name but he wears a backwards hat, cool chill guy. And the drip coffee was a great blend!

Sysco food quality with dining out price. Like putting or stirring a bunch of canned and pre-prepared ingredients together. The avocado had turned brown. The mango did not taste like mango. The noodle did not taste pleasant and the chicken on top was dry and bland. Honestly I don’t know how it could be worse.

Enjoyed a nice dinner for two with great music outside. Halibut tacos and a chicken salad. Service was fantastic and food was of high-quality. Reminded us of the type of food and flavor you would experience in Costa Rica. Would definitely recommend to others.

10/10 would recommend and we’d absolutely eat here again! The Pad Thai was excellent, and the Caribbean Sauté was delicious :-) The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We went before any type of dinner rush (about 3:45pm) and had a very pleasant experience.

The service was good and so was the presentation, but the food tasted so-so for the price. I ordered the coconut chicken. I've had katsu with fried rice before and it wasn't $21.

We order 3 pies for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin Cream cheese, Chocolate Meringue and Apple Pie. All 3 were amazing. Order via messenger. Dropped in and paid a few days later. Picked up on day we requested. Each visit was an outstanding service. We will be ordering again for Christmas.
