The staff was friendly & our waiter, Drew, was attentive yet never made us feel rushed. Food was great and our waiter (Drew) was able to describe the food to assist in order. Two of us chose the fish & chips while the others chose the special and chicken sante fe. All were fresh & tasty. Drinks were also spot on. The manager dropped by twice to assure we were taken care of (we were!). This was the first time eating here & we will definitely be back.

Food was great, service good, lighting was not the great in some spots of the restaurant. Sitting by the windows at night time they had all the lights off inside so it was harder to see the menu and your food. Other than the lighting/ambience leaving something to be desired, the place is great and food is some of the best in the area!
