Our server was Halit. I always get the pleasure of him being in our server most of the time when I come in and he is always exceptional. He makes sure that you’re getting everything you need and he does not hover. He tends to show up just at the right time when you need him. He makes great suggestions and he makes dining at Angeline’s a wonderful experience. Thanks Halit!

The oysters and drinks were amazing!!!!! Will definitely be returning just for those! Food was pretty good. The server was really nice but service was kind of slow. There wasn’t many people there so I’m not sure about the reasoning for that. But all in all will definitely return
