The manager, Joey, made sure my guest and I were seated and had everything we needed. He was very kind and fun. He even stayed later to take pics of me and my friend to celebrate my birthday. This was my second time here, and the food was amazing 💯 We will definitely be coming back.

The staff were extremely friendly upon arrival. The ambiance is very relaxed and has a dreamy look to it. We went during mid afternoon and it’s on the water. The food was really good, my friend got the mussels and she enjoyed it. The drinks were good and our server was a sweetheart. This is definitely a nice spot to enjoy especially towards the warm weather. I’m definitely going back in the near future.

Joey was nice and welcoming. They sold out of the bottles of wine which was disappointing as that is why we went that particular night. However, always a nice place to have dinner and relax.

Went for lunch, and I must say that I would like to come back once the weather breaks to dine outside. The harbor views are amazing and the service was great. Food was um okay I guess.
