Came here on a rainy night with our family. Our reservation was for outside but since it was raining they moved us to a table in the bar area. It was perfect. There was live music and light rain. A perfect night. Food was great—everyone loved their meal—clean plates all around.

Nice dinner experience before going to The Botanical Garden. Nice table inside (due to rain)… Drink choices were good, and served perfectly. Calamari appetizer was delicious, as were the salads (especially the goat cheese salad) as was the French Soup. Entrees were delicious and included pork tenderloin, crab cake, duck and salmon. The beignets (johnnycakes) were awesome… good thing they only give you one each.. they are way too good!!!!😊 It’s a fun eclectic vibe with live music in the evening.

Fantastic. Can not wait to go back! A bit of a "Keys" feel. Not your typical menu. Unique. Great ambiance. Such a cool restaurant. A bit eclectic. Lovely for families or a date.

Food, drinks, & atmosphere were great. Service was slower than we'd expected. Luckily we weren't in any hurry. Server apologized numerous times. And some of the things we wanted (desserts, cappuccino) were not available.
