They have a terrific waiting area as they are busy! They have a front bar and a back bar, as well as tables. We grabbed two seats at the back bar. Holly was our main server and she was a delight. Super friendly and attentive. She for sure added to the down home vibe that this place has. We ordered a margarita and another drink that was similar to a Manhattan. Both were great. Also grabbed a sangria that was good as well. Started with the chicken satay and it was great. Highly recommend this. Comes with 4 and the slaw and sauce were amazing. Ordered the seafood paella which was delicious and the burger. The portions are generous! Let me tell you that burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The bun - it was like a cloud. Maybe it was steamed? It wasn't heavy and it didn't take over the main star which were the two delicious patties with some fantastic cheese and then had caramelized onions with red peppers. This came with fries as well. Do not leave without getting this burger. It will ruin all other burgers you have ever had or will have. This is a no brainer! Get here.

Our service was quick and efficient! We snuck in right before the rush around 5:45 PM our server Kyra was wonderful! Her timing was excellent and her suggestions were spot on! She was friendly, efficient, and just added to the great experience that all four of us had! My husband and I shared the mahi special and something called Crete Beets ( spelled on the menu beats); both were absolutely delicious! The mahi was prepared perfectly and had a nice light creole sauce which they put on the side for dipping and the crab mac & cheese was delightful with asparagus that was cooked on point; not overdone and not underdone which I know in restaurants is sometimes difficult to do. The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!

Since we were wondering how many tacos to get, I'll just say I think 2-3 per person is plenty. They do really pile them high, so 2 and some chips was great for me. My husband enjoyed 3 (we both loved the fried mahi, and the shrimp, and he also enjoyed the ground beef). These chips and guacamole were amazing- the chips almost tasted like Doritos and the guacamole was nice and garlicky! We were talking about these chips for days!

They were also generous with the avocado, which was a nice surprise since a lot of places barely give you any. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 15 minutes, and it took almost another 20 minutes for our food to come out. That said, everything was made fresh, so it was worth the wait. The price was fair for the amount of food you get, and I'd definitely come back whenever I'm craving a good bagel.

Highly recommend the flight of mimosa bombs (they were delightfully strong and equal to about 1 drink in volume!), and the all-you can eat brunch--but only if you want Diane to give you a magical experience with deliciousness coming out your ears. Bacon is crisp, FRIED CHICKEN PUTS CHICK FIL-A to damn shame, eggs were made with lots of yummy butter, the grill lends a nice char and toast to the sourdoughs and avocado toasts, the fruit in the parfaits were very freshly cut and prepared--the entire experience was handmade as we ordered, and any wait was WELL worth it once we got to chowing down!
