William Stevenson was our waiter—honestly, he made the whole experience so much better. He’s one of those people who’s just naturally good at what they do. Super warm, easy to talk to, and you could tell he actually cared about making sure we had a great time. He gave thoughtful recommendations without feeling pushy and checked in at just the right times. It felt more like being hosted by a friend than just “getting served.” If you’re lucky enough to have William taking care of you, you’re in for a good night. The food was great! Sides were pretty good and the fried/ crispy fish was incredible with the coconut like flavor. Tasted like some food I had in the Bahamas, which is a W for Castaway

requested outdoor seating days in advance. even messaged the business through the useless open table app hours before the reservation time to ensure outdoor seat but the restaurant never reads the messages until you’re standing in front of them. brought my gf for her first experience there on her bday and was massively massively let down. also open table app is garbage
