Excellent seafood and specialty drinks. Went twice in one week. Sweet and friendly staff. We took our almost 11 month old who had a fantastic time. Avery loves her t-shirt. Thank you ♡

The raw bar is TO DIE FOR—Freshest shrimp I've ever had. They serve them fresh every day. Cyprian, the bartender, is the best. They don't have a happy hour, but he'll make it a happy hour.
