We had reservations for 8. We were seated by the host. We sat and waited for service and had several servers walk by and avoid eye contact. No one came to our table. After 15 minutes we got up and walked out. We went to Bueno Vista around the corner and had a great experience.

Food was excellent. We had oysters, popcorn shrimp, garlic bread, fish/chips, burger. Service was very good but the place was a little loud. Overall great food and it was open on Christmas Day! Yay!

One of my new favorite spots in the neighborhood! The menu is vibrant and full of flavorful offerings. The squash soup and turkey dinner for Thanksgiving were standout dishes, truly something special. The thoughtful menu selection, paired with the creative use of spices, makes dining here a delightful experience. Looking forward to returning to try more! Especially their Signature Dishes.

The Ambiance is welcoming, with a nautical charm yet relaxed vibe. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive managers and servers. Food is Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Creative use of spices and inclusion on the menu is very well balanced. Lobster ravioli, Cioppino, and the Mango dessert were my favorite. Overall a very delightful dining experience and highly recommended! Will be back soon.

Unusually super long wait! Missing table settings with silverware. Food was cold, dry, un fresh! Most upsetting was no apologies, acknowledgement, or offer to replace or substitute. So I had no breakfast! I will not return.
