    My husband ordered Mahi mahi tacos with a flour tortilla and they made it with corn instead. I had two sources hype this place up, so we thought it would be upscale, especially for the price. It was more like a dive. We won’t be going back.

    The service was GREAT and our waiter was very informative and on top of things. The fish and chips were good and fish tacos were awesome. It is outside seating so it can get nippy if the wind picks up so bring a light sweater or windbreaker.

    Wilfred, who ensures tables are ready for the next guests, and Adrian our server made our experience exceptional. My husband and I shared a delicious Greek chicken salad. Enough for two and leftover. Management please recognize both gentleman. We will return for another enjoyable meal.
