    The outdoor area upstairs has a beautiful view and they had a solo artist playing really nice music. The food was very good! I recommend the fish spread! Daniel was our server and he was excellent given the volume he was in charge of serving!

    A regular stop for us. Always good food for the price. Only a few things we wouldn’t order again. Half chicken is too dry. One time ordered whole fried fish. Not great. Could have been an off night. Love the atmosphere. Fun place!

    Disappointed with a birthday dinner. One of the entrees was cold. We had to reach out to the manager as our server was MIA. Didn’t get it back until the other two guests finished with their entrees. We were then charged three of the grouper entrees instead of the two we ordered including the cold grouper dinner. Lastly this was a birthday dinner and nothing special was provided. We won’t be planning on returning soon. Sorry…overall we thought this would be a nice night and it was less than satisfactory.
