Awesome service and fabulous food!!! One of the if not the best restaurants I have ever eaten at!!

Top knotch customer service. Loved it. Loved our waitress
Impressive service and food. My 3 year old liked the apple/bacon garnish on the salad I ordered.

Best food ever and delicious!! Two thumbs up!���
Kale salad is really good. Mussels - salty and LOTS of pepper. Cocktail - so, so, too dry. Dirty rice was indeed tasty, very well seasoned. Waiter helpful and not nosy. I would refrain from ordering apple pie, try something else from the dessert.
