Let me start with the good. Cannonball burger was fantastic, Cajun tots are super yummy and the casidilla was excellent.Now the bad. Sat at the bar at it was over 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged. Bartender was too busy chatting with friends to be bothered by customers. She was inaccurate with our order and had to ask multiple times what side we wanted with our cannonball burger.Kinda disappointing considering the place is very nice and the food was good. I could see the outdoor seating being very popular in the summertime. Won't be back though because of the poor service. Places like this need to know that we work extremely hard for the ability to go out for a meal and we aren't going to put up with being disrespected by a bar tender. If you value your customers, you'll make changes to your staff (and/or train them to realize they are at work and not social hour).

Staff was friendly & attentive! Food was fresh and delicious. Only hiccup was the electrical box sticking out in our booth.Overall great place to eat if I'm ever in the area again I will eat there!Dietary restrictions: I have a shellfish allergy and they made sure my food was prepared separately! Very accommodating.

Great service and yummy food. Place was kinda empty when we got there but I am guessing it’s because of weather, I’m sure it’s packed on sunny days. They have a large sitting area outdoors which is so nice and a big bar area inside. Great place to hang out and watch sports.

This is our 3rd time here. We make a point to stop here anytime we go this way ( we live in Vancouver Wa). Kat has been our waitress twice now, and I'm soooooo grateful for her! She's amazing!! This place is great. Nice beer selection and the food is on point! Love it

Definitely avoid with a small group they add 20% gratuity and didn't even get a refill on soda. Someone loading things into the building in a white Subaru outback dingied my door to top it off, they tried saying "who me I parked in the lines while clearly over the line. Definitely not worth a

Burnt food was a super disappointment. I took my mom for the first time, and she got the rockfish dinner with soup and had to take the breading completely off to eat it.i got the chicken wrap it was good, and for an appetizer, we got the artichoke spinach dip, and the naan was overcooked and charred miserably.I've never had this experience before always enjoyed the food, but its not going unnoticed after raving up the place and the disappointmentIt must have been an off afternoon, but the wait staff was phenominal!The ladies were prompt and courteous, and their hospitality kept us there even when we would have walked because of the burnt food.

Short staff, one bartender working bar, restaurant and patio but she was pretty efficient. Probably only added 10 minutes to overall time frame (extra 5 min to order, extra 5 min to close) no complaints on her!However, the food, where to begin? Asian salad was probably one of the worst ever! Plain lettuce would have been easier to choke down. The chicken was not grilled but the kind you buy already cooked and microwaved. The quesadilla had some word spinach dip in it. We noticed a lot of people left a lot of food on their plates. As a server who’s worked in both good and bad food establishments, that’s not a good sign!!

The food was good for the most part, there was an issue with one plate and instead of remaking it food was just picked off. however there service was not. A gratuity was added for a table of 8, 5 adults, and 3 children. I would not consider this a large group, and it seemed the waitress knew she was going to be getting a tip either way so she didn't have to take care of us. She wasn't friendly and did the bare minimum. I wouldn't recommend for a sit down dining experience at all.
