    We had a reservation and arrived early. Apparently no one checked us in because I received a no show message from Open Table. They were not busy when we arrived. We waited at least 10 minutes before anyone came to our table for water and to give us menus. Food came quickly and was good. Service continued to be slow and when asking about a specific drink to order, the server said she didn’t know what it was nor offer to find out. Not a great experience.

    Food is really good. Mussels in Cajun sauce was excellent. Shrimp burgers, steak sandwiches, lamb burger, also fantastic. Service is very slow. From the time we sat down to the time we ordered, about 45 mins had passed. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but it seemed all servers were taking on more tables than would make for an efficient experience. Otherwise, we enjoyed our family birthday celebration.

    Great Happy Hour! We had an incredible waitress and service was good. Music was not too loud at all. A lot of space for big parties.
