    This neighborhood gem never disappoints. The chef needs a raise! We started with spinach dip it had a spicy kick and was delish! We usually get the tuna tar tar yummy!! We got the rockfish, fresh, tender, and cooked just right. You must add this restaurant to your must visit list. The service and staff are all very nice. Enjoy!

    Monday is a burger day. The way they served, the way they behave is amazing. Our server Eduardo is the best.

    We had the fried green tomatoes, the rockfish and the burger. Everything was extremely salty. On the positive side, our server, Mel, was great and the ambience is very friendly and welcoming.

    Experience was great! HOWEVER, our reservations were made for 10:30am and the restaurant didn’t open until 11 am. Therefore we needed to leave and come back

    Food was adequate, maybe a little above average with certain dishes, less so with others for our party of six.

    Met a friend for lunch the day after Christmas and it was a quiet day in the restaurant. We ate at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and welcoming. They have an assortment of tacos where you can choose two and I had braised chicken and shrimp - both excellent. The local beer on tap was very good too. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch.

    The food is good but nothing to write home about. Was very disappointed in the espresso martini. They advertise it as part of the happy hour but unfortunately they make it poorly (no foam and no bean on top).

    Went here for a team lunch. Only one bartender serving the whole restaurant, so it’s understandable that service was going to be slow. But then someone who I think is a manager shows up to help, and he sort of idly does, and also spends huge amounts of time standing around (I watched him bus a table in a 2/3 empty restaurant instead of checking on tables first). Also, other tables who got there after us were helped before us, including a huge table, so it was an hour before our order was taken and another hour before we got our food. One of our teammates got her food a good ten minutes after the rest of us - they gave her a discount, that’s it. My burger - I ordered medium rare - came out barely pink. Everyone else said “well I’m hungry, so…” to describe how their food tasted. So - what was to be a celebration turned into a disaster of a time suck. We didn’t even get to have the “post lunch discussion” we were meant to have, we just left.
