    Daniel my server was excellent. Our food was great. How ever my table was directly across from the restroom. Not exactly desirable and it was cold at the table. The lighting definitely specifically at that table needs to be upgraded. I also felt rushed by the persons that came to remove the plates and flatware. I felt like they just wanted us to hurry up and eat .

    Food was fresh, excellent, fast, and the atmosphere was cozy and friendly but not at all cramped. It was a perfect evening with a friendly staff and seafood that was clearly fresh and well made from the moment it arrived.
