    Service was impeccable. Food was OK at best. Avoid dinner entrees and stick to finger foods and "bar food". They try to be a restaurant and a bar but they are really a bar trying to be a restaurant. I'm in no hurry to return.

    Very positive experience - my blackened salmon salad was excellent. My daughter had chicken Parmesan, which is her favorite. My mom ordered the special on Monday, which is fried shrimp - she loved it. Service was great and happy hour helped a little with our beverages.

    Anna was our server and she was absolutely amazing - she was juggling multiple tables, always smiling, always enthusiastic - overall fantastic service - she was so on it and handled everything so well through her crazy busy evening. Well done - we'll definitely ask for her next time!! Great food and great atmosphere - bright and lively.
