    We tried a variety of foods and everything from the surf to the turf to the sushi bar was all amazing quality and reasonable portions. Even our kids loved the chicken tenders, which were perfectly prepared. Good beer selection and solid cocktails. The service was low-key and knowledgeable, atmosphere was casual and comfortable. Probably only once the trip destination for our budget, but definitely enjoyed everything about it.

    The food was fantastic and service was stellar. The real star of the show, however, was the happy hour! Couldn’t believe we got as much food as we did, for such a great price

    We had a great dinner. Sat up at the sushi bar. I have a sesame and shellfish allergy, but our server was thorough. I was disappointed that I couldn’t have a few of the items. I was happy and thankful knowing he had checked in with the chef and preparation. We had a great meal and will definitely be back the next time we visit.

    Had a lovely dinner outside on patio. It was so nice to have a somewhat relaxed dinner after spending quite a few nights eating out at fancy resort restaurants. The live music was a super nice addition too. Food was good, server was attentive.
