The staff is always welcoming and courteous, and the food is great. I usually ordered a simple salmon grilled, with my choice of sides. I like the potatoes and creamed spinach. The restaurant is beautiful inside, but I also enjoy dining in the scenic, beautiful outdoor space when the weather is nice as it was today. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be. I definitely recommend this place for good food and the chill atmosphere with the bar either inside the beautiful restaurant or outside in the scenic space.

Ambience, service and food quality are all top notch, for both indoor and outdoor seating. On our recent dining experience, we were meeting up with a friend from Hawai'i who was in the area for a conference, and reserved outdoor patio seating. I ordered the Island Chicken (so flavorful and my go to), my wife tried the Tuscan Salmon (she finished her meal before me and our friend!), and our friend ordered the Bella Italian sandwich. We all loved what we ordered! Since it's been a while since we've seen our friend, we spent a lot of time catching up, or "talking story" as they say in Hawai'i. It wasn't busy so we didn't feel like we were holding up any party from getting a table. Loved that the manager even came by to check on us. A very nice dining experience! We would surely be back.

Wait staff greeted and sat all ten of us immediately and were super friendly. I saw a fella next to us eating ribs and we chatted and he recommended the special. DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Special was a whole rack of ribs and two sides for $17. Regular rack of ribs is $22 and half rack $17. We ordered 8 specials with various sides, a brisket burnt end sandwich and a sliced beef plate. Everybody food was out in less than 10 min. Ribs were phenomenal. I had the usual, Cole slaw and bbq beans and they brought out a tray of butter Texas toast and it was phenomenal. Best part was the ribs had bbq sauce on em! Something you never find because every bbq place claims bbq but it's just smoked meat. If you're ever in the area give it a try. A 32oz tea and the special was less than a $20 bill, 19 and some change and I was beyond full. If you're ever in the area and want some jam up bbq go see em!
