• Great staff, owner, and of course the food is great.
• Noisy.

“One of the best places to eat at while in town, not what you would expect by looking at the outside and inside the building, It is loud in the restaurant, that's because it is packed from 5 to 9. My wife and I have brought large crowds to this restaurant and the service and the food was excellent.”

• Great food, great service, open seating.
• Little expensive, closed on Sundays.

“We love this place! We have been at least 6 times and have never had a bad experience. Our food has always been unique, flavorful and well presented. Our wait staff has been knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating. We love the menu; wish the wine list was a little longer though. The menu is a little pricey for the portions, but that just means we can't go as often as we would like. As for the previous review - the restaurant is very small and a lot of people do not realize that when you make a reservation, your table can only be held for a certain length of time so that the table can be re-sat again - so please don't linger too long and then get offended when you are asked to allow the table to be used for the next reservation - these little family owned places have to turn tables or they will not be able to stay in business. If you are finished and want to visit or linger over drinks - sit in the bar and let the business owners serve more dinners.”

• Good food and atmosphere.
• We have never been asked to rush our dining to accommodate others.

“although the food and atmosphere were excellent and came highly recommended by many friends of ours, our experience was greatly ruined on our first and only trip with guests to this establishment. Our evening started with our waiter insulting our guest's place of employment( he apparently has some issues with the Budweiser company). Our guest was very gracious and never let on that he was a representative of Budweiser Distribution. After indulging in appetizers, several bottles of wines and drinks, enjoying a most delicious meal and desserts, while we were finishing up our drinks, the hostess came over and informed us that if we had finished with our meal, could we please leave because others were waiting for our table. we were a little taken aback by this request but decided not to make an issue out of it at the time. We also noted that there were some customers that were still there and they had arrived before we had. This incident really soured what had been an incredibly wonderful evening of great food and good atmosphere especially since we have looked up your review and you state that you provide leisurely dining. Hope you can improve on this.”

• The food is wonderful.
• Not the best atmosphere, but it is a beach area. So, who cares.

“Among the best food wise. It certainly can hold its own! Moderately expensive, but well worth it.”
