They make all the wine in house. We had blood orange sangria that was delicious. Ordered appetizers - shrimp skewers, crab dip and flatbread. The flatbread could have been cooked little more as I would prefer it warm. However, everything was really tasty! The atmosphere was beautiful. Would recommend dusting lights above booths.

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.
