We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while watching boats coming in and out of the harbor. The food and drinks were amazing and the entire experience was exceptional. Our server, Stacy, was attentive and friendly, and she made sure we were enjoyed ourselves the whole time. We’ll definitely be back.
