    Went for my mother's birthday. A fun, funky place. Menu has great choices, and everything we ate was great. Jed was our server and he took excellent care of us Service was attentive but not fussy. Food came out immediately when it was ready, so always piping hot. Would highly recommend. This is a VERY popular place, so reservations are HIGHLY recommended.

    The Mai Tais with Lilikoi foam was outstanding. The mixed greens salad was superb. My wife’s Campeche was over cooked and dry. The kale was great. My lamb chops were very salty which took away from their flavor.. the corn and corn bread were very good. The Strawberry cream pie was Ok. The service was excellent.

    Gotta have the truffle fries and mai tai with/out alcohol. Tuna sandwich special was fresh and delish! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Super friendly staff at each point and level.
