    Great location but not for service or food. Drinks were good but food order took over 40 minutes with hardly a crowd in the restaurant. Saw another group unhappy with their lack of service and food leave. Decided to cash out and the waiter was like ok thanks and sorry the kitchen is backed up. However, no evidence of food or smell of food anywhere.

    We had a reservation and was told there was no room for 2 in the back room- then 3 dif party’s sat in the back room after we asked. We got sat by the bar and no one came over to us for 15 minutes. I went up to ask and no one acknowledged me- just looked and walked by for 5 minutes. Very disappointed we had to get up and leave

    Great location,, really cool atmosphere. Food was great, would be nice to see a fish option on the menu both appetizers and mains, likey losing customers over this. We were a family of 4, kids enjoyed, we had drinks and a table full of food. Steak was likey the best on the island for the money and perfectly cooked.
