    Went inside for Happy Hour as it was raining. Mussels were excellent as were the fish tacos. We are happy when Edgar is our server!

    Everyone liked their entree, but thought the prices were a little high for the amount of food. My beignets were burned and not fried all the way through. Everyone else was finished by the time our waiter came back so I could let him know this. Acted like it was on me; not cool. Our waiter was nice, but unfortunately, did not check on us after we received our entrees. Could have been better.

    Last time I was here, I was charged $1 for cocktail sauce for my calamari. Seemed ridiculous but the food was good and I ignored it. Today my friend was charged $1 for grated cheese with her pasta. What restaurant does that???? Too many other places around, I won’t be going back.

    Had brunch— 3 of us. The breakfast was very good. Friend had the avocado smash also quite good. Ate outside in the patio. Restaurant quiet, but occasional ambient noise. Will definitely dine again.

    Good service in the beginning, but once the order was place, the service kind of went downhill. Asked for ketchup, but was never brought to the table. Had to ask twice for refill on water for the tea pot! Waited a while for the dessert menu; finally asked the maitre de & got one.
