From the moment we walked in, we were treated like rock stars. The service is wonderful and friendly from everyone; it’s like they are actually happy to see us there. If you are thinking about getting the tortilla soup, just go for it—AMAZING! The appetizer dish of cheese and jalapeños was excellent, but save room. The steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were delicious. Only wish I had room for dessert—next time!

We dined on a Monday for our anniversary. We received friendly excellent service throughout the meal. The fried oyster appetizer was superb, the roasted beef salad was delectable. The halibut was perfectly cooked with a crust and flaky and tender and moist interior. The mustard greens were paired on the plate with the fish. Despite an unusual side these were some of the best that I’ve had outside of Alabama and worked perfectly with the delicate flavors of the fish. With dessert and wine our tab was $124 before tips

The waiter was very nice, but not very skilled. Four people looked for the wine that I ordered off the wine list for over 15 minutes and then finally gave up and asked me to order something else. The only thing we ate was the ceviche and it was very good
