The atmosphere is very relaxing, and the music is at just the right volume, allowing for easy conversation. We chose to sit at the bar, where the bartenders were incredibly friendly and crafted our drinks perfectly. Afterward, we moved to the lounge area, which was really cozy. They also have a patio, and I enjoy sitting outside when the weather is pleasant. We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful ambience, excellent food and selection, great service at reasonable prices. We had their amazing fish tacos! They have a gorgeous covered with trees and shade and fans. The patio was perfect for us because we were travelingwith our dog. The waitress was very helpful and attentive and even brought water for our dog since the weather was warm. Willdefinitely be back next time we are in town.
