    Ordered Maui Maui with 2 sides Ceasar Salad and French fries. The pc of fish was tiny, the salad portion was good the French fries were cold and mushy. Ordered a Strawberry Margarita worst I ever had very bitter with no strawberry taste. Our waitress was awful. Friendly but she had too many tables and was sweating. The restaurant was crowded. Will never return to this restaurant. Ordered pecan pie for desert and the slice was a tiny bit bigger than my thumb. My bill was 49.00 I gave a 10.00 tip (20%) which was a waste of money in my opinion. They are an overpriced restaurant where their meals are just OK. Nothing to write about.

    Service was fine, food was overdone and everything was very, very salty. Did not acknowledge the special occasion.

    We visited Asheville to support them after devastation that was Helene. Food and service were 5 stars. Given what they had been though, witnessing their resilience first hand gave us hope that they would come back even stronger...you can count on our support, always ~ Thank you
