We chose to eat at the bar. Tyler was such a great and knowledgeable bartender. He made us very comfortable and we enjoyed some happy hour items and also the black grouper. Love the chicken liver pate and tuna bombs. Cauliflower too! Grouper was excellent. Drinks perfect. A great evening. Highly recommend!

Our server Meghan was very pleasant and helpful. She was patient and gave us time to order. She made some suggestions and brought out a sample of a soup we had question about. Meghan was attentive to our needs and checked on us regularly. Our food was hot and delicious and as ordered. A delightful evening all around. Wonderful experience and we hope to visit again soon and try other menu items. Thank you Meghan for helping us have a nice evening out.
