Before we even got into the door we seen staff being SUPER rude over parking, then we get inside and never got any sort of service. Upon leaving we seen the same staff still harassing a PAYING customer over towing her vehicle cause she was also visiting the establishment beside it as well. Don’t waste your time honestly.

We had a server that treated us horribly. As soon as we got out of our car and continued to harass us. Coffee was basic and bland . Do not recommend not worth your time.

If I could leave a 0 star I 100% would. I Got yelled at before I even got out of my car about parking when they didn’t know where I was taking my service. So disrespectful. I went and spent money and then still had to move my vehicle.

Small place, but enjoyed our seating on the patio outside with nice live music. The food was nothing to write home about.

While we enjoyed the small feel of the place the food wasn’t worth the 1 mile walk. The bruschetta lacked flavor and the pizza tasted like it came from a box. We wouldn’t eat here again. We paid $75 and left disappointed and hungry. The staff was nice but the wait for our food was long

Upon leaving their beachside location we assumed it couldn’t be much worse. However, it was Very under staffed (other employee left one person to manage 2 large parties and another 2 ladies). I believe the staff member was serving, cooking and maintaining the bar. Food was mediocre at best. Really had higher expectations, maybe dinner is better but brunch was not enjoyable honestly. I feel with proper staffing this place would be so much better.
Great atmosphere and food!! Service was excellent and everyone was super nice! Amazing spot for some good food and vibes!!

The food was quite good. The service, though, was lacking. Just not enough people working on this visit. And the guy providing live music was loud enough for Madison Square Garden. We had to move tables because we couldn't hear each other talk. But, yeah, good food!

An unexpected delight- great service, delicious food, clean and quaint. Live music while we visited was a great bonus. Highly recommend this sweet little find!

If you are in search of an authentic cocktail crafted with muddled fruit instead of a mixer, this establishment is a must-visit! Indulge in the finest mojito you will ever taste. The flatbread and salad are simply exceptional. Experience top-notch cuisine, impeccable service, and the most exquisite drinks available!
