We celebrated Veterans Day for the second year in a row. The food was delicious and the service was great. Thanks for honoring us on Veterans Day. There were six of us and three are Vietnam veterans. Again thanks 😊 .

Was very unexpectedly loud and crowded for a Tuesday. The service was terrible. The food was good but took a long time to come out.

Service was not great. Food tasted okay. Calamari was tough and the lettuce under it was wilted. Flatbread was good and tuna salad was good. Waitress didn’t seem like she cared at all.

We were a little disappointed that they didn’t have a nutrition menu. This has been the first place we’ve been to that couldn’t provide one. My daughter has type 1 diabetes so having accurate nutritional information is really important for her insulin dosing. The food was decent. The fried pickles weren’t completely cooked and had raw batter inside. The poke bowl was really good but it was a little spicy and the waitress was no where to be found to fill the waters.

Food and service are good. Pricey for what it is. The main thing I don't like about this restaurant is the servers checking you out with their personal checkout devices while they're hovering waiting for you to tip them the 25% that is the first recommended tip amount.

Star rating loss is due to our server who started out as a rock star with great drink and food recommendations during the first part of the meal, and it was very busy. The less busy it was the less we could find her. Overall still a great experience, very tasty food and drinks and apetizers. "engergetic" is the highest ambiance rating, but it should be "cannot talk across the table without yelling. LOL fun place and loud. I know to just visit when I want loud times
