    A lively spot with excellent service, but the food was at best serviceable. Nothing particularly special and not worthy of "high end" dining.

    Last night was my first visits to this restaurant and it was great. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with professional and courtesy. Our server was a beautiful young woman. She was attentive but not overly and our order was perfect. The food was delicious and delivered hot. I will return ASAP.

    The servicing staff was excellent, polite and attentive. The food was great and came fast. There are many options on the menu to please all. A great place for a birthday, anniversary, or casual dinner. Dress casual but not like you just got out of bed.

    Our first time there - but definitely won’t be our last. Everything was terrific. Seabass tacos outstanding as was the teriyaki steak my husband ordered. Great for lunch- then shopping for the gals - the bar for the boys!
