   You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Beautiful ambiance and lovely staff! My favorite spot, hands down. As a local, it’s hard to not be here everyday<3!

   One of the best meals I have ever had. A slightly spicy cabbage slaw with blackened shrimp. My husband had the blackened mahi-mahi over a corn polenta. Our forks made their way to each other’s plates throughout dinner. I chose the signature Raising Cane cocktail, which was also delicious. Our server suggested we finish with the brown butter cake with topped with a warm fruit compote and fresh whipped cream. Also outstanding. Highly recommend this delightful restaurant!

   Leslie, this is the kind of review that makes our day! Love that you and your husband were swapping bites—always a sign of a great meal. The blackened shrimp and mahi-mahi are definitely favorites, and we’re so glad you enjoyed them along with the Raising Cane cocktail. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation—hope to see you both again soon for another unforgettable meal on Aviles Street!

   Amelia (sp?) was terrific. She got me sorted on wine, clarified the menu options and informed us about the local Datil pepper, which was the star of Tonic’s compound butter. Our food was delicious. It was a perfect experience
