I can't wait to come back! If you're looking for a casual happy hour with delicious food that won't break the bank, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

I love their Caesar salad--it's consistently delicious and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The service is always awesome, and the staff makes the experience even better. The ambiance of the place is also a big plus--great vibes all around, whether you're catching up with friends or just stopping by to unwind. It's a perfect spot for a quick happy hour. On top of that, I find their prices to be very fair for the quality you get. Overall, I would absolutely recommend, this place is a solid go-to and you won't be disappointed!

I started with a drink that was just okay, nothing special, but not terrible either. For an appetizer, we ordered the octopus, and unfortunately it was not good. The sauce didn't taste great, and the octopus itself didn't taste great either , which already set the tone for what I was about to have next. For my entrée, I had the Dijon salmon (not pictured), and it was honestly so bad. It had a very strong, fishy taste, and I couldn't get through it, I left most of it on the plate. I'm not one to complain, and since I was there with my kids, I just paid the bill and left. The space itself is pretty, but the food is no bueno. Also I found the menu was limited, it wasn't clear what their specialty is, and nothing really stood out or made me want to try something else. Overall, not a place I'd return to nor recommend.

If you're looking for an incredible experience with food, drinks, and vibes, this is the place to be! The blended flavors were absolutely phenomenal--every bite and sip was bursting with perfection. The happy hour was unmatched, offering an amazing selection of drinks that hit just right. The service? Let me tell you about Dior--our server was simply amazing. Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was on point. And to top it all off, the DJ brought the energy with an incredible mix that had everyone in the best mood. We had such a freaking blast--I'm already counting down the days until we can do it all over again! read more

Most of us had ordered Seafood Boil, but they didn't bring the plastic bibs for everyone, forgot to give crab cracker, etc. Staff were friendly and helpful though, they just seemed a little short staffed.

Locals enjoying the game and seafood boils: I ordered clam chowder and coconut shrimp - wasn't super hungry. Chowder wasn't very warm but tasted good. Shrimp portion was big for an appie and was cooked well, not overly greasy, sauce wasn't great tho. My buddy ordered a lobster boil old bay sauce. The tails were small for the cost I thought but he said they tasted good atleast. He did eat everything, a few potatoes & 2 small pieces of corn. Best part of the meal was the cold beer, the fifa, and the unexpected karaoke with live saxophone. I'd come back for the karaoke and try something different, staff was nice & wasn't my worst meal.

This year, pretty empty, which was disappointing as I came specifically for the atmosphere and vibes. For a group of 4, I made a reservation with a required $50 deposit.

Anywhoo.... we were seated upon arrival. There's some parking in the front, which is always good. We used the qr scan to review the menu for our food and drinks. There is football specials, but you will need to scroll. We ordered salmon sliders, jerk chicken plantains sandwich, cheesecake sliders, jerk chicken sliders and various drinks. Things to note: I had to request jerk sauce for the jerk chicken plantain sandwich as it needed it. The salmon sliders also needed the sauce. The jerk chicken pizza was good. It's additional $2 for flavored margarita. The fries with the plantain sandwich were really good but a tad bit salty. Lemon pepper and Appleton rum honey wings were absolutely delicious For a place with not too many people, the food came out very slowly. TV and surround sound system was on point

From the get-go, the staff is very kind, respectful, and quick to take your order. I got the cornbread, which, at similar restaurants, is typically free as a courtesy, but here it was $3. The cornbread was great; I'd give it a (9/10). Shortly after, our food came as I had ordered the fried chicken entree, which came with baked mac and cheese for an extra $2. From the bite of the mac and cheese, it came out really good; I enjoyed the crust and seasoning, and I would definitely order the mac and cheese again (10/10). I would give this restaurant 5 stars if only the chicken had come out better. It had a good crunch, but the taste was honestly pretty bland. I wanted some juice from it, considering it was dark meat, but it was also fairly dry. It wasn't the worst fried chicken I've ever had, but it definitely didn't make the list (5/10). All in all, this place was a good experience. The staff was nice, the wait wasn't long, and the portions of the sides and food are very big. The only improvement is that the chicken needs better flavor and less dryness. 3.75/5; good.

They've been open roughly 6 months, so I do not feel like I've been missing out for too long. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and thankfully not a long wait. I ordered the curry chicken w/cabbage and rice & peas. The curry was flavorful and finger-licking good, falling off of the bone; although some of my peas were rock hard but other than that the rice & peas were delicious, too. The cabbage was sooo good!!! I could have used a tad more, but I chocked that up to personal preference - i LOVE cabbage! I guess I was so mesmerized by the inviting aroma that I forgot to take a picture of my food (which usually never happens), but take my word... the container was empty. The menu has plenty to offer and I am looking forward to trying the jerk chicken next time - which is made on the grill (not the oven). I also loved the decor and art on the walls. Great food and the service is what won me over completely. While waiting for my order, I met the cook and chatted with the owner, Maxine, who is extremely personable and polite. I could have talked to her about quality food and quality customer service all day. It's nice to converse with owners of establishments who just 'get it'. The professionalism here is on point. And make no mistake about it, she reads all reviews and takes all feedback into consideration. There's also a very nice outdoor space with seating and live music.
