"For the most part, I had a very positive experience, here. A few of the pictures I included in this group are of vacant buildings that are immediately adjacent or they are facing the actual establishment. I just want to give viewers a bird's eye view of what the total experience will be like for them. Now, as far as my service in this location: Taisha (sp? was my server for the afternoon. One of my sisters received a recognition from an organization she was involved with recently and we went there to have lunch and to celebrate her accomplishment. Overall, Tyesha did a very fine job helping us. She was a tad slow, though, but that's to be expected considering the fact that she was working the bar, working tables, and doing a zillion other things trying to service several people all at the same time, all by her lonesome. What does that mean? Well, it means that they are probably short-staffed and need to hire more servers, or because it's such a new establishment, they probably can't afford more than one server at the moment. They have a very nice menu of food items to choose from. As you'll see from my photos, all of us had very different meals. Since I became a pescatarian this year, as of January 1st 2019, I was pleased to be able to get a meal that had fish. I ordered some fish fillets with fries. And for $12, I received a huge plate of food! There were three full size fish fillets and a plate full of hot, fresh seasoned french fries. The bonus items included cut onions and sliced pickles. Awesomeness! Two of my sisters had two kinds of chicken wings: one had what appeared to be honey barbecue wings and the other had hot wings. I forgot what my mother had! LOL... But, there was another woman with us who's a friend of the family. She ordered some dish that was a seafood platter Seafood sampler of sorts. It had crab legs, a Lobster Claw, two or three kinds of chopped sausages, potatoes and maybe something else. All of these items were steamed together in a huge bag! And for those who love Seafood, I have to tell you that this will definitely be a dish you should consider! Unfortunately, I only thought to get a picture of it after she had already begun eating most of it. Also, the decor of the restaurant is pretty unique. Many of the bar seats are actually swings that hang from the ceiling! I haven't seen that anywhere, yet. If for nothing else, you should absolutely go there just to experience the bar seats. They also have frozen drinks! And for me, I love strawberry daiquiris. Since I'm a bit of a lightweight alcoholic Drinker, and I prefer the sweeter things, I was pleased to see that they had a variety of drinks from which to choose. My only criticism is that the parking situation on their lot is a bit odd and ambiguous. This is one of the reasons why I'm only giving them four stars. When one arrives at the establishment for the first time, it's clear that the vehicles are all on an angle. That would suggest that one should enter the parki"
