This place is amazing. The wings are delicious. The service was on point! Our waiter Andrew was attentive, we never had to look for him, he checked on us at just the right time.

My parents were visiting and we wanted to take them out to dinner but my dad is very picky and like "Normal" places to eat. We chose to come here and it was absolutely perfect. Our waitress Madison was very happy and made suggestions to help us order. All of the food was great as were the drinks. I'm glad we chose here and we will definitely be back.

We had take out that wasn't bad, that's what drove us to try it out in person. Not bad, and fairly priced but nothing to set it apart from OB, TGIF or any equally sized american restaurant on the island. Everybody (the boss and 4 kids) like just enough of something so it wasn't a waste, but not enough of everything to likely warrant another visit. The server was very nice, and again the food was priced right for what we got. But once seems to have been enough.

Everyone from the bus boys to the servers are so nice here. All the staff is also very attentive. I order my cheeseburgers medium rare and it is consistently cooked to perfection. Strongly recommend. Chris is a great waiter and I don't know all their names but all the bus boys here are awesome.

The atmosphere is a sports bar. There are screens showing every game going on. As for the food it was absolutely delicious. My daughter and I got seafood and I have never tasted better Chilean Seabass. The service was outstanding. Bridgette was our sever and you could not ask for better. Rudy was the manager. He to was very gracious and professional. This place blew me away If you’re in the area give it a try. You will leave very happy.

Came in solo just to grab a drink at the bar and have a small dinner on a Thursday night. Walked in had a nice ice cold IPA and to my surprise the food is amazingly good! I got the tuna tartare special which was thick chunks of tuna w avocado and seaweed salad, w some kind of sauce and chips to accompany it. It was really good and I inhaled it! On top of that I also ordered the French Dip w fries as recommended by the bartender and being I’m already stuffed it came out and it was really good as well!! Fries are nice and crispy, bread is crispy and hot, meat is abundant and flavorful and w the Au jus dip it softens it enough that it’s even more juicy to the bite! I can only eat so much so had to take it home.. Also I forgot the mention portion is pretty good as well! A good you get what you pay for type of place.. I’m happy.. and will be back since I live nearby!
