    Had an excellent experience at Andy’s. The food was amazing; we ordered the Cajun shrimp risotto and the Caribbean grilled salmon. The salmon was juicy and delightful. The shrimp risotto was phenomenal as well. Loved the espresso martini! The music was great too and the entire vibe / experience.

    Our server Cheryl was wonderful. The food was amazing per the usual. This was the first time I brought a large group with me and they all had amazing time. The Winter Faries from the North Pole were so sweet with my friends two children. The photographer Ronit took some really sweet photos of my nephew and his girlfriend! Overall 10/10 experience and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

    My mom and I had a great night out at the Dawson! Loved that the festive lights were still up. The chicken fried lobster and sourdough toast started us off on a delicious note, followed by the cavatelli and the roast pork chop. Those cheesy grits tho! Can’t wait to return again.

    Shoutout to our waitress, Maria! She was such a sweetheart and made the experience at Bandit welcoming and fun. I ordered the Shady Lady and my sister got the Gold Digger, two really good and well made drinks. We shared the steak tacos and those were great too! We will definitely be back.
