"With no reservation, we had a short 20-minute wait on a Friday night in early August 2024. We were asked if we'd like to sit at a high table on the more boisterous bar side (as opposed to the more reserved side with the live piano music), and we agreed. We were eventually given water by a different server because when we put in our appetizer order upon being greeted, our actual server never took our drink order and didn't return until bringing out the tequila lime shrimp. We sat for many minutes with just water and our own good company. There were six shrimp in the order, and it was ok, just bland. It was a simple butter and tequila sauce with pre-squeezed half lime in the center of the dish. It isn't worth talking up the appetizer for the price charged for the amount of shrimp. The featured beer was delicious and paired well with the prime rib. We ordered the 8 oz. prime rib with salad bar and the ahi tuna tacos with spicy mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was not spicy in any way and was incredibly dry with no gooey cheese goodness to be found. The ahi tuna was cooked medium rare, but when taking the complete bite of the taco, it was lacking bold or developed flavors. It was mostly the tuna flavor with a slight tang of the pickled cabbage slaw. The street sized taco shells were also a little tough. The prime rib was ok. It was ordered medium rare. It wasn't anything special, it wasn't bad, just bland. The au jus was tasty and held all the beefy flavor. Overall, we were unimpressed with our server due to initial neglect and even less so with the food. We would not make a return trip."

"This place is a delightful find, just a short walk from the beach. As you enter, there's a nice bar area and a fish tank nearby. To the left, you'll find the pickup window, while the dining room is to the right, offering a cozy atmosphere. The décor is charming, filled with various memorabilia that gives the space a vibrant feel; it seems like every nook has something interesting. Their Google Maps page provides plenty of information about the restaurant, which is helpful. I ordered a large cheese pizza, a classic benchmark for judging a pizzeria. Unfortunately, my first experience with the pizza was disappointing. The crust was slightly thick, and there was an excessive amount of burnt residue on the bottom, which negatively impacted the flavor and was difficult to remove. While the cheese was reasonably distributed, the overall taste lacked the fresh essence typical of pizza. It had a bit of a greasy aftertaste as well. On the positive side, the service was quite good. The bartender was welcoming and immediately understood my purpose for being there. My pizza was ready promptly, and she made the payment process smooth. The staff appeared friendly and eager to help, which is definitely a plus. I might consider giving them another chance, especially if I can find a coupon or a special deal. Ultimately, I'm torn between a rating of 3 and 4 stars. Since I can't give a 3.5, I feel it's more appropriate to stick with a 3 for now."

"We arrived 1 hour early and sat at the bar to enjoy a few cocktails. The cocktails well great. Everything started to go down hill from the moment we were seated. There was another couple joining us for dinner. We ordered another round of drinks. Those came but took some time. Eventually we were given an opportunity to order. We all ordered. I had the burger. The wife had halibut. My buddy had prime rib and his wife had the pork belly and scallops. Some time had passed before we got our meal. About 30 min. Meantime I had to buss the table myself to rid of the cocktails. A gentlemen which I forgot him noticed. He came and refilled our waters and asked if we needed anything. I replied we’re fine we are just waiting for our meal. the gentleman was from the bar area. Our meals eventually came BUT our friends meals did not come. So we were sitting and waiting and after 12 min my friend flagged the host walking by. Sh found our server and sent her over. She said she would check on the remaining food. She came back about a min later and said something happened and their order didn’t go through and they are making it now. Another 14 min the remaining food came and we began to eat. By that time our meals were cold. Which I can deal with no biggie. However my wife’s halibut seemed under cooked and really fishy. The beans that were served with it were almost inedible. Perhaps they were going for a Al dente style but missed the mark. My burger was fine the fries were the star of the show. My buddy liked his prime rib and his wife was OK with her dish. Her scallops were under cooked. After $98 bucks at the bar plus a few more cocktails at the table and dinner we were at about $405 ish into this. Night. We often go out and we were excited to try a this new place. Will we return?? Perhaps if someone reaches out to me to make this might we will. At this time I would not recommend to any friends and family. Best Regards, Jeff Pigage"
