Great location and wonderful service, the food however was pretty uninspiring. My drink (Girties Lemonade) was syrupy sweet and the side of coleslaw I ordered with my meal was bland. Definitely a casual spot in terms of food quality.

It's hard not to give them 5's across the board. Good was great, ambiance was serene, atmosphere was cool, service was up there with the food. Hard to pick a favorite but Jason was a great server, friendly, comedic, non intrusive, attentive, and offered some fantastic selections as well as got feedback from us on our thoughts. Truly amazing experience for my wife and I, we'll be back soon! Thanks for the great evening!

This is a great after-work location that has a relaxed feel. Food is good and staff are friendly.If it is a nice night, try to get patio seating, (it does get busy) The views of the Narrows Bridges and partial sunset are very awesome.

Shonna, our server, really went above and beyond to make our experience here memorable today (4/13/24). It was my mother's birthday and we had already had a late BBQ at our house and swung in for drinks before sending off family to the airport. We were self conscious to only order drinks during the dinner rush but Shonna made us feel very welcome and when she learned it was my mother's birthday she brought out a small cup of whip cream with a candle (knowing we were full and weren't interested in food). It was such a sweet gesture, and she even passed my mother a scratcher for fun which my mother won from! On top of all of that, we had a toddler and infant with us which is why we weren't in the bar, and she arrived at the table first thing with oyster crackers and water for our toddler. Super smart and helped keep my son occupied. It was so memorable and fun and we'll definitely be coming back more often. Shonna, thank you!

Ate there twice this week. Once with an old employee and once with my daughter. Happy hour prices were very reasonable. The rockfish dinner was excellent. Will go again.

First time here, the waitress was very nice, it was pretty loud with the music playing so it was hard to hear the others in our party. I feel most items on the menu are over priced for the portions you get. I ordered a steak which was very delicious but when it was brought out it was placed over a few tiny chunks of potatoes and tiny piece of grilled tomato. I was expecting to at least get a side salad and a side of dinner bread. Most places I have ordered steak from include that especially for the price I paid. Menu is pretty small so there is not a lot to choose from. I do not think I’ll be back unless I know someone who wants to go there to eat.

Not the same as it used to be….drinks are below average. Bartender was too busy hitting on the patron instead of making drinks. Booze test this guy!
