This restaurant was a recommendation from a manager of another upscale establishment in the area. The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, the environment was fun and festive. Live music(!), what a treat for two out of town visitors. This is not a place for a quiet meal, but if you want a lively, fun, delicious experience, this is it. Try something new, go for it! Also, they made you feel welcome here. How often does that happen. My only regret was not trying one of their rum drinks. Don't be me.

The first thing I noticed was the timing of food coming out. Our server was excellent and times it perfectly. Next, the food was absolutely delicious and everything was cooked perfectly. The price was also excellent for everything we purchased. Overall an awesome experience!

I cannot adequately ecpress how good the food was. We were very happy with the experience. The only negative would be the noise level. We were told in advance it was very loud and it was. Conversation is pretty much impossible. But, the food makes you want to go back again and again.
