Wonderful evening! The food was delicious! I am always looking for a new fish tacos experience and these are now at the top of my list. The spicy margarita was amazing, a good way to begin the evening and a nice accompaniment to the meal. The weather was terrible outside and it was a bit chilly inside the restaurant, but the service was terrific and staff were warm and friendly. This could not have been a better night out!

The food was so delicious and portions were great. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. We’ll definitely be back!
