    Food was delicious. Pricier on Valentine’s Day. Our waiter Chris was great! Candles and roses looked amazing. Hostess gave us attitude when we kindly asked for a different table when so many were open.

    The lawry cut was so good, like a thanksgiving dinner, had to take home the rest! Loved the shrimp/jalapeno/corn fritters! If you have a chance to go the their bar at the front, I enjoyed the mango rum drink (more on the fruity side and didn’t taste the rum) Went for galentine’s day and was a nice meal to splurge on! The waiters were so nice and accommodating!

    We really enjoyed  the live music and wish they had it more often than the first Friday of the month. We sat on the patio, which was nice however, the row of seats up against the building have lights above. That would be nice if they could dim them because we felt we were under an interrogation light. It was too bright for the atmosphere. Other than that. Everything was great. The my ties are wonderful and I got the beer, battered fish tacos, which I can always only eat one. They’re so huge but it’s fun to have them for leftovers. My husband had the piccata, but it was a little lemony.
