              We went to celebrate my husband’s three months sobriety birthday. The waitress was wonderful and very attentive. Food is delicious and we certainly will be back again.

              I was completely satisfied with the preparation of the Mai Mai fish dish that I ordered and felt it was definitely worth the price. The vegetables that accompanied the fish were cooked very well and that together with the glass of wine I ordered provided for a vey enjoyable meal. I dined on a Thursday evening about 6pm and it wasn't crowed at that time. I was comfortable with the noise level in the restaurant and the ambience was pleasant.

              Great, cool wind but they heated the patio with heat lamps. Food was delicious & service so good. The hula pie was delicious, definitely be back.

              Wow, were we ever disappointed. First impression by host was very poor. Looked at us and waited for us to tell him we had a reservation. Then he quite literally waved his hand at us and told us to go upstairs and give them our name. We didn’t know we would be seated outside. Heaters weren’t adequate and they couldn’t accommodate us in their few inside tables. Server took forever to greet us and take drink orders. Told us he wasn’t sure they made skinny margaritas or served tea. Floors were dirty. Table was uneven. By the time he came back for food orders, we were done. Cold and hungry so we left.
