Our Favorite Review: “First time in town with my mother. We stopped here to grab a bite before we went to a show. I’m so glad we did. Was a very cute place with nice and friendly staff. We sat at the bar cause we where only grabbing a drink and a few apps to munch on. Sadly they where out of the main menu item we wanted, stuffed scallop. Honestly that’s the reason I picked this place but I’m still glad I did. We split the lobster bisque which was absolutely delicious. They even split it into 2 separate cups for us which shows not only they care about there guests but there knowledgeable. I have worked fine dining myself and it’s the little things that really show threw. The crab and shrimp au gratin was delicious to. Very rich and creamy full of crab and shrimp. All in all I really loved this place and if in town again will go back. The only negative thing I could say is I feel the bartenders could of talked with us a little more but he was very nice and still attentive. Highly recommend!!

Our Favorite Review: “Excellent Mexican food and staff. The fresh take on the need taco salad was excellent especially when paired to a XXX draft beer. Although the noise level was a bit high, especially with young kids the over all feel was excellent… I would recommend going with a group as the energy level made the experience wonderful…

Our Favorite Review: “Lunch menu is limited but good quality – we loved this spot and recommend it for a light-lunch visit. The brussel sprouts appetizer with bacon was fantastic, but so we’re the fried calamari, deviled eggs, and chicken egg rolls.
The salmon entree was by far the best, accompanied by sweet potato, sausage and green beans.
The staff are professional and friendly.
The bathrooms are clean but a little small.
There’s free parking on the street outside.”

Our Favorite Review: “Our group of five stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed our experience! We started with the Fried Mushrooms (weekly special/pictured) and Fried Green Tomatoes(pictured), both were very good! For entrées, we ordered the Gyro with a side Greek salad (pictured), Southern Fried Chicken (pictured), French Dip, Fish Sandwich and the Italian Sausage. Everything was very good, and our group left happy and satisfied! If you’re looking for a great place for lunch or dinner, that even offers a large amount of outdoor seating, then we definitely recommend you check this place out!
