Sandy H.

So fun, loved the service the waitress so super friendly and fast. The place is very busy so we took a seat outside where we didn't have to wait for inside dining. Food was fantastic and lived the friend Cauliflower and soup I ordered. My husband got the BBQ nachos and were delicious as well. Highly recommend … More

Great views of marina, food tasted great as well. I was a little off put that I couldn't swap my salad for another side, spending $22+ on a steak and I can't choose 2 sides? Steak was also slightly overdone(I asked for Med. Rare), it still had good flavor so I didn't complain. Overall taste was great, I do recommend -just wish substitutions were allowed considering the price. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp is on the far right side of the building, it's not very obvious but it Is there.

We visited on a Monday night and after making a reservation, only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. It was pretty busy, but the wait staff was incredibly friendly and treated us very well during the hour we spent at this restaurant. We started off with the croissants which were incredibly fluffy and I highly recommend everyone try these delicious pillow-y appetizer! The chicken sandwich was amazing and the honey mustard on it made it 100x better! My boyfriend and I found ourselves asking for some extra honey mustard to dip our fries into! The ribs were decent but not anything too special! Furthermore, the views from our table were incredible and well worth the small wait we endured while waiting for our food to arrive. My family and I would definitely come again and recommend that others visiting the area stop in too!
