We were invited to a birthday dinner / celebration that was hosted outside on their beautiful patio, there was about 27 people that attended and from the moment we walked in the hostess was kind and very friendly, the bartenders and the servers were extremely nice and took great care of us, the drinks were great the food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was calming and relaxing but also a great time!! Mia the Director of Operations & Hospitality came out and introduced herself to us and was very friendly and welcoming, I can’t believe we didn’t visit sooner!! We highly recommend this place for either a romantic night out, or for a good happy hour as well as if your looking to host an event. The location & setting is beautiful and very friendly…. If I could give more then 5 stars I would…

Extremely disappointed!
The service was absolutely horrible at best.
Friendly sounding server, but our table was completely forgotten about with zero check-ins after our food was served.. I waited over an hour for a salad on an evening that wasn’t crowded. The bartender from the inside of the restaurant was our server for the back patio of the restaurant (??). There was no hostess and there was a sign explaining to be seated by the bartender, after patiently waiting to be acknowledged for a while upon entering the restaurant.
My main dish was served about an hour and a half into the evening (Cajun shrimp).
Other outdoor waiters were serving other sporadic tables completely engaged in the service with other customers except our table.
Another disturbance, the staffing took trashcan after trashcan out during our meal time and were banging extremely loud bottles over and over and it was so loud that we couldn’t even have a conversation.
I had to stop other waiters two different times, one to receive my salad after an hour and the other time I literally had to get up out of my seat and hand my bank card to a different waiter to pay the tab (because I wasn’t waiting any longer for them to ‘bring me’ the tab).
I’m a realtor in the community who likes to frequent here, especially with new clients, I’m debating whether to return.
Good food, beautiful outdoor/ cozy atmosphere, but completely bad experience. I never leave Google reviews, I literally logged onto the restaurant’s wifi because it was so bad.
I always still tip well because workers are supporting their families, but it was definitely not deserved this evening.

I just stopped for coffee while out on a bike ride, so I can't comment on the restaurant. Quaint little place with decent coffee and a few treats. I tried the biscotti and it was really delicious. The iced coffee was good and prices are reasonable. Glad a coffee place is finally open in this area.

New spot for me to check out….welp. The crab corn chowder was basically corn chowder. The fish bites were salmon that wasn’t really deep fried but like dusted with no seasoning….Bestie ordered the bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream NOW that was BAGGING GOOD. Crab sandwich was about a 7/10. The food needs some spices and more creativity. Nice seating and clean establishment.
