    Stopped in for lunch. I was hoping to get a Cuban sandwich, but they have a different menu than the place in Bethany. My wife, son, and I ordered off the specials menu. The highly recommended brisket cheese steak was good. I wouldn't highly recommend it, though. My wife really liked her chicken quesadilla and my son really liked his blackened shrimp tacos.

    The remodel is awesome with a bar in the front and a nice refresh of the decor. They have live music Wednesday thru Saturday. The staff is quick, efficient and on point. The happy hour specials are the best. The crushes and cocktails are great. The crab bisque, boom boom shrimp, devil eggs, trio dip, and steak egg rolls are delicious and nicely portioned. What a great experience and we will be back.
