    Good wasn’t that great. Iced tea tastes really weird…even other customers complained about it. Soda machine was out of syrup flavors. Waitress was super nice but the food was a let down. I definitely do not suggest getting the veggie burger.

    We went there as a large group, party of the 17 for our anniversary celebration. The food was wonderful, the drinks were wonderful and the service was great. The music was an added bonus and we had such a fun fun time. We are grateful that we picked this place for our celebration.

    Loved this place! I had the lobster roll & husband had the teriyaki chicken burger. Both were fanatic! I had an Oceans martini & hubby had an Old Fashioned. Both were superb! The service was excellent & ambiance couldn't be beat!
