This is a great restaurant to have a date night! Awesome food, drinks and service!
Great sea food, from the ceviches and crude dishes to the cooked fish and sea food (oysters, octopus, lobster, shrimp). Good atmosphere and great service.
The oysters were delicious, the fish and chips were good, the golden beets were yummy, and the hush puppies topped off the meal. The service was superb.
Amazing food! From the yeast rolls to the appetizer and the absolutely tasteful entrees. This ranks as One of the top restaurants visits we have had across the states! Grade A job!
