Amazing experience! Me and my wife were there last night, had a great time. The dips were awesome , the fish was out of this world, portions were great. SERVICE was kind, friendly and informative , the manager even came out to see that everything is good, we actually had a nice conversation with him as well. On top of that, the alcoholic beverages were out of this world . Definitely coming back to try other things on the menu.
