So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The salmon and tuna tacos were fabulous. We both had short ribs and they were delicious. Dessert was also a treat with the key lime pie. Our waiter was extremely accommodating.

    Our first time trying this restaurant but had read the many positive reviews. It didn't disappoint. It is a large standard menu with many options in each category of appetizers, pasta, chicken, fish, etc. Portions are sizeable. A large salad satisfied 4 people, and the stuffed artichoke (on the specials menu) was tasty. With the appetizers and large portions there was no room left to try dessert. Service was excellent as well.

    We had the pleasure of being served by Erica who couldn’t have been a better server. Her knowledge, attentiveness and caring for our experience was second to none. The food was delicious from the Tartar to the Halibut and the baked clams to the peppermint chocolate cake, there was not a morsel left on any of our plates. Thank you Erica!!
