    Here for my husband ‘s birthday! It was fantastic experience, they have a note on our table and origami for his birthday! Very detailed and heartwarming We ordered the small plate ribs , they are incredible good, then the smoke catfish as well ! But the steak for my son, he was little disappointed, was not what he expected, my youngest got the kids fried shrimp and fries and it is hands down, finally we have their seafood tower, very unique and delicious, dessert is the amazing ! Thanks for the incredible service and food , thank you for shrimp appetizers, we greatly enjoyed your food and service, overall are 4.5!

    Outstanding all the way around! From the atmosphere (such a beautiful establishment) to the food presentation, taste, and quality, and an ever present owner/chef very visible putting final touches on each plate. I look forward to many return dining experiences.
