★★★★★ 5.0 Scott Abajian · Jan 2026

What a fantastic restaurant with a diverse menu. We sat on the outside deck for lunch, which has been newly redone. It is roomy, and a great spot to watch cars and people go by. We started with the boom boom shrimp, not too spicy but with a great flavor. We then split the BBQ Chicken Pizza - lots of cheese, chicken and garlic, and cooked to perfection. It was really good. The restaurant was very clean, and our server continually checked on us to make sure we were happy. I look forward to trying other items on the menu!

My boyfriend and I came for dinner, and our server Natalie was very accommodating and attentive with us! The food was amazing. We got the tagliatelle bolognese with the bread (delicious) and the shrimp borracho! Just as we came in for dinner, there was live music about to start! Krystofer was amazing and also took song requests, which was so cool. We had such a great time and will be back again!

Spent good money here, however I will NEVER go back. Came here yesterday 2/12, the Bartender was nice and service was great. Today, 2/13, there was a Bartender change. The guy we had yesterday started us off and then the next Bartender was a older gentleman with brown hair that went down to his shoulders. 1) Never greeted us. 2) Never acknowledged us 3) Never asked my Lady if she wanted another drink as her drink. Paid my bill, will never return again!

Came here from a few recommendations. The food was alright. We got a pizza (which was the best) some apps and dessert. I probs wouldn’t come again but it was nice still.

Looking for a nice place to dine in between interviews, I would define this place as a hidden gem with exceptional cuisine. Out of all the mock tails, I would recommend the one that contained Red Bull. I don’t remember the name, but I remember it had red Bull. Additionally, I would say that I can see parking being challenging when it’s busy, but luckily someone was pulling out as we were arriving. Lastly, and more importantly, remember to pause as you go throughout your day and practice being present. You’re most likely going to share a drink or a meal with someone, and I would highly suggest you take this as an opportunity to be present with each other. Make it a great evening y’all!
