Fantastic service. The restaurant was clean, not too crowded and seated right away. We ordered the steak and shrimp plate and lobster plate. The food was tasty, plentiful and satisfying. Our server was friendly and always checked if we needed anything. A great place for a meal and we'll definitely go back!

Jaime was great. Service was awesome, Thank you. Ordered the steak and eggs, didn't disappoint, cooked to order, flavorful full and very tasty. Fresh coffee hit the spot. Pancakes were light and fluffy. The restaurant could use a little bit of color and decor, but the service made up for it. Will definitely be back.
