    Great restaurant that never fails. They updated their menu two weeks ago and while we missed the old favorites, the new menu is probably of wider appeal. I will say that the fajitas were just a bit too spicy, especially for an older person. The chips and salsa and guacamole are the best in town!!!

    Celebrating my Daughter’s Birthday. It was a beautiful sunny day. We had a table view by the harbor but it was extremely hot. We were hesitant to ask to move seats. We decided it was too uncomfortable to eat there. The staff moved us without a problem and we had a wonderful meal. We ordered Fish tacos and a Lobster BLT sandwich it came with a taste of lobster bisque soup. We had decided to share the meal, there was plenty to share . Took one of the three tacos home. After finishing up our meals the server presented a complimentary mini apple crumble pie for my daughter’s birthday with a candle. It was delicious and the service & staff was wonderful.
