So much better than the last time we were there. Except for the constant bass! I don’t know if it was a car outside or what was going on but it pretty much ruined the meal for us. Our table was super wobbly too. When I cut my chicken, hubby’s beer almost spilled. Please fix those. And what’s with the mini bread loaves?

The entire experience was wonderful. It was not too busy at 2p so we really enjoyed the pace of a relaxing late lunch. Cauliflower app was so good! I had pad Thai with tofu and will be back for more! The salmon sandwich was excellent! We loved it! The watermelon cocktail was refreshing and carrot cocktail really unique. We are planning to try happy hour next week.

Perfect night for our anniversary dinner! Our waitress Allie was wonderful. The food was quick and fantastic, very reasonable prices for the quality. Drinks were delicious, the sea bass was to die for. Very cozy and romantic vibe. We will definitely be making a special trip back to the area to try again!
