- ARAdriana RJan 3, 20263.0Food was mid, nothing special. The service was great though & it was very nicely decorated inside. I got the clam chowder which was good, and the grilled salmon & shrimp with brocolli and rice which honestly I coulda just made at home and more seasoned at that lol. Overall it was fine!
- AFArthur FosterDec 31, 20255.0Best Location Ever. My experience here was one of the best in my life for a restaurant. My family was sat immediately. Our waitress was Denise. Denise is fantastic. So nice, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the whole menu. Made many recommendations. Denise is very good at her job. I never had to ask for any refills or anything else. Denise already had it done. Food came out very quickly. One of shortest waits I have ever had. This is one of the few times I have asked for the cook’s name, due to how impressed I was with the perfection of the food. Carlos was the cook in the back. I wanted to recognize Carlos because the food was PERFECT. Everything prepared and cooked to perfection from my steak to the hushpuppies. The hushpuppies were the best I have ever had. I've had them at numerous southern states restaurants, but these were the best. You are amazing Carlos. Carlos is a huge asset to this place. Thank you for a phenomenal experience, Denise and Carlos.
- RCRusselle CortezDec 30, 20255.0We went for my husband's birthday...Our servers name was Gerson, but by the end he became BIG G!! He was amazing! We never had to ask for anything...He always brought out exactly what we needed before we even asked. Then he did a very entertaining trivia game right before he brought out a special ice cream cake for the hubby...it was like our very own birthday party!!!...If I could give more stars I would and we definitely will be back again!
- DSDaisy SavageDec 30, 20255.0This is a beyond late review. We visited this location on our vacation early December. In the mix we forgot to leave a great review for our wonderful server Nancy! She was welcoming, kind, and very attentive. Nancy made our dining experience amazing. She even took the time to host a trivia game at the end of out meals even though it was closing time. Nancy is a fantastic server!
