Another great dining experience. The coconut milk mussels and steak salad were amazing. We really enjoy the patio dining especially in Friday nights.

Our waiter was not very attentive and never checked how we liked our food. Our grouper bites were just fried breading, no grouper in them. The calamari was chewy and strange tasting. The only really good thing was the cocktails. I live 1 block away. I don’t plan on taking out of town guests there again.

A bit too noisy, for the value would like to see table cloths. Service was ok but 4 persons at the table ; 1 menu is not enough.

Went for Valentine's Day. We've been a couple of times before this and the food and service have been great. We both got pasta this time. Wife got the mushroom ragu and it was pheno,inal. I had the thai pasta and it was also very goo. We ended with the chocolate pecan pue which was excellent. Service from Alexa was 5 star.
