What People Say
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the extensive beer selection and skillfully crafted cocktails, perfect for pairing with meals. The wings, especially the Buffalo Garlic Parm variant, often steal the show, bringing customers back for more. The fast service and attentive staff ensure a pleasant dining experience, further enhancing the vibe. Live music adds an extra layer of enjoyment, making Sunday visits particularly festive. Many appreciate the diverse menu offerings, with standout dishes such as the Cuban sandwich and fresh salads that cater to varied tastes.

Most Disliked
A few guests have noted that the portion sizes can be inconsistent, particularly when it comes to menu items that are more upscale, such as the Feta Whip served with a basic bun. Some diners have mentioned that seating can feel cramped during busy hours, which might not suit everyone’s preference for space and comfort. The lack of waterfront dining is also a common point of dissatisfaction, given the restaurant's coastal setting. While the atmosphere is generally enjoyable, some feel it leans too much toward being a local bar, which may not capture the dining ambiance they seek. Lastly, families may find the options for children somewhat limited, especially on busier nights.

The place was slow, probably cause its Monday. We went at 730pm The place is small and NO waterfront dining. More of a neighborhood bar it seems. My Feta Whip was delicious but it was served with a grilled hotdog bun as the bread and that was not impressive for $14.99. If you're looking for a beer and a sandwich, I recommend for sure. **not really a kid place.

Came here as one of my stops for my birthday on Super Bowl Sunday on February 9th! The wings were out of this worldddd, I was pleasantly surprised and also impressed to see edamame on the menu, it could’ve used more spice like chili pepper or cayenne pepper and that would’ve made it 10/10, but other than that I have no complaints! The IPAs on tap were also strong and delicious, hit me like a ton of bricks which is what I want! I always pass this place but had never checked it out until now and we’re so glad we did. I can’t stress enough how good the wings are, the Cuban was calling my name as well but we didn’t want anything too heavy, next time forsure though! The server gave great recommendations and accommodated us to our needs, she was so helpful! Thank you for being part of making my birthday special.

Visited for the first time today. I couldn't have been more pleased. Food is great and reasonably priced and the couple that run the place are a pleasure. Would strongly recommend.

This place is really really good. Went for th3 first time a few weeks back and had their Poke bowl and it was much better than expected. Took the wife and daughter back the other day and it was even MORE impressive! The wings are the hidden gem here...get them Buffalo Garlic Parm, and enjoy. The chicken Philly, Cuban and the grilled rye club are also 🔥! Kudos to the team here, I'll be making this a regular lunch spot. 😋

We are visiting from Arizona and popped in here for lunch. We were thrilled with our choice. We received exceptional care from Lauren, it was so nice to receive old-fashioned service. Plus, the food was better than we could have expected. I had the fish tacos; my husband had the Cuban sandwich. The sangria was tasty as well! We wish we lived closer.

Came on Mother’s Day and it wasn’t very busy which was freaking awesome cause I thought we would have to wait a while. For the snow crab special for $24 (2 giant clusters with a side of your choice). The crab was perfect and the feta whip appetizer was god mode. Hubby got the French dip and polished off every bite, he was very pleased. We will absolutely be back
