This bar is one of our favorites, and popular with locals for their great food, most friendly staff and atmosphere. The nights they have live music complete an excellent dining and drinking evening. There are plenty of tables on the upper and lower decks, and if the weather is iffy, the recently updated indoor bar is a fine place to spend an evening. The wine list has been expanded to compliment their already ample beer and liquor selections. Jake's wings are a must-

My best friend frequents and raves about this establishment multiple times a week and I finally was able to check it out with him.WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWThe owners Jake & Lexie were so outgoing and personable! They were taking the orders, serving the drinks and cooking the food my first night! We sat at the outdoor patio area because the inside was still a work in progress, and I got the Bugatta Pasta (sorry I confidently asked for the Bugussy my 2nd visit lol.) and I couldn’t stop thinking about the sauce days later.My 2nd visit, the inside was open and we were the only ones in there at the time. I had a great time getting to know Jake on a personal level. I met Ella and had fun chatting with her and playing shut the box! They offer a one hole put-put, had 4 TVs that played sports and a plethora of options for liquor! Got to try the Unicorn that is Pappy 15!Easily accessible via golfcart, down to earth and hard working small business owners that became friends, matched with top notch food and a killer spot and vibe especially for locals this time of year! GO GO GO! Meatballs Galore!

Too busy, understaffed and flavor wasn't up to par just ok. MEATBALLS were good! We were on the road and ordered to go....didn't realize this is in a community village so you had to park and walk and find the place and get checked in through security. Size of meals was on the small size not a great value in our mind. The staff was trying hard to get our order timely but were over worked for sure!

Stumbled into this gem, and found out a secret fave of the locals! Took their recommendation & we split the Marsala with ravioli, add sausage crumbles. We are still raving about it 5 days later - one of the best rich heavenly dishes either of us has ever had!! Loved our waitress Ella -- her hubby bopped in-between Uber stops - great local vibe @ the inside bar!

Stopped by for a quick dinner and were so pleasantly surprised at how good the meal was!! We had the fettuccine Alfredo and the mixed Italian grill and both were so yummy! And our bartender/server was so friendly and quick with her service (sorry we didn't get her name!!) Just a note for those considering stopping by- most seating is outside with some seating also at the inside bar- just be prepared if it is chilly outside!

Whiskey (Johnny Walker Black - single shot) and coke was about $21. Most expensive drinks I've ever seen (30-A 5 star restaurants have better drinks for less).

Had the Italian mixer yesterday. Was one of the best Italian dishes We have ever eaten. Very friendly owners too!

Food is not good and I requested a new dish because of the nasty spaghetti. What was his response? "If I took it off your bill, I would lose money." If he is that worried he should quit his day job and go flip burgers. His spaghetti has no seasoning and I will make sure I remind people for the next month or so until he realizes in America we don't pay for disgusting, bland food. It's replaced. $78 bill for garbage and I'll probably end up at McDonald's later.

Without a doubt the best spot for a meal & drink in Baytowne Wharf! Perfect for kids too with outdoor seating, right across from the playground & next door to ice cream & the arcade! We will definitely be back!

By far the best food we will have on our little family vacation and by far the best pasta dish I’ve had in a very long time! We all loved the food and drinks that were served! Service was great and the owners were great themselves. We ordered chicken Alfredo, garlic parm fries, Marsala, a Caesar salad and we all cleaned our plates or took home the rest for lunch tomorrow! ?❤️
