1st time here. Date night with my wife and wanted to try something new. Sat outside on the deck. The chairs and tables are worn out. 3 of the chairs at are table were ripped. I feel like they didn't do enough to keep people in the shade. Food was a little bit of a disappointment for the price. I had the stuffed flounder. It had great flavor but it was undercooked in the center. My wife had the blackened chicken pasta. The chicken was just grilled with no seasoning. The best part was the service. The waiter was great and kept on top of everything. With that said I would go back and give them another try.

Our visit was great. Initially was set as a birthday visit, turned engagement party when our AMAZING wait staff was the very best. Gage was training a new employee while watching him go through and give other tables the same energy we were given with the sudden proposal. The food was fantastic and was not too overly expensive. Great drinks, food and ambiance, definitely coming back here.
