I enjoyed the food but the service was beyond what I expected. My server (Brendan) noticed I was drinking a lot of water and he brought me a pitcher of my own.

Great food, but if you sit in the bar area, be aware it may take awhile for the bartender to notice you.

Get a free lunch or dinner on your birthday. Darn, gotta wait a whole year again? $15 max on lunch, $25 max on dinner. Must show ID.

Salmon wrap is great, more like a fish taco but it doesn't matter!

Service was TERRIBLE, food was OK. My husband ordered his grouper sandwich with no veggies and wanted fruit for his side. His sandwich came with everything on it and his side being fries.

The tuna salad isn't that good. Strange mix of seasonings and soy sauce. The house salad looked much better.

One bar tender for entire restaurant and bar - really? Don't arrive thirsty
Elsie LopezMay 13, 2014
Not worth the money spent. Food took long to come out and when it did my order wasn't correct. Sat outside so there were flies everywhere. Not a great experience.

Horrible service. Waited ten minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. My server was on the phone texting the whole time.

Foods only passable. Service is minimal. Even the view couldn't make lunch better. Skip it.
