Always great service and food, Kendra took care of us, she was a seasoned restaurant employee who knew the menu, sold my wife on the seafood special, sword fish and it did not disappoint, she ate her whole meal (which she never does), and we got to see it the Christmas boat parade! Thank you! James Harmon

First time visiting and we liked it a lot! We were attracted by all the vegan possibilities and that turned out to be more choices than most because so many dishes allow you to choose meat or vegan (and clearly marked on the menu). The drink menu was interesting too, and the service was very good. Right at 5 pm we got parking at the door but given the location perhaps give yourself a few extra minutes just in case. Highly recommended!

Both food and service were outstanding. Our server, Wade, was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. One of our party has gluten issues, and he took special care to see that those needs were taken care of. One of the best restaurants in the area.
