We had the roasted chicken, grilled red fish, El Pescador sandwich, yellowtail hand roll and cucumber salad. ALL dishes got rave reviews from everyone at the table. Our kiddo ate her entire chicken sandwich (there is 3-4 kids offerings off menu) which is a real rarity for her to finish her plate. Servers were excellent and the space is beautiful.

I absolutely love the environment here, most of the food was pretty good. My only complaint would be that when I ordered the redfish, the sauce was really runny. I would’ve preferred a more thick style sauce to compliment it so it would run into the sides that came with the dish.
Other than that the coconut shrimp was great, the guacamole was delicious and the patio was really nice vibe and ambience.
