Our family of 6 ate here. Great list of appetizer and seafood and pasta entrees. Service was really slow but it was worth the wait. Food was hot and tasty. My husband and I got 2 different fish and it was cook superb. Large portions. The cheesecake was so delicious.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was too, only complaint I had was the wait. A little pricey for the amount of food but it still tasted good.

This local restaurant is fantastic. We came about an hour before closing and there was a short 20 minute late but the quick service and high quality food made up for it. The pasta was very tasty with what seemed like the perfect blend between the shrimp, bacon, pasta, tomato, and sauce. The only negative I have is that the wine presentation was weak. Other than that I had a very high quality meal for a reasonable price.

My husband and I split the gumbo. I didn't care for it, neither did my husband. It looks more like a soup than a gumbo and didn't taste that great either. My friend had a pasta. When the waitress came to get our order, she actually told my friend they've been getting bad feedback on that and asked several times if she was sure she wanted to get it. I mean she wasn't lying.... Definitely don't recommend it.

The food was fine, if a bit plain. We had spaghetti with meatballs for the youngest, pesto pasta, chili-lime mahi-mahi and 'healthy pasta'. All but the mahi was a bit boring.

The service was attentive, but not knowledgeable on the menu.

The menu was extensive with tons of different items for people, and we ordered something called bacon candy, which was something to try once (but not again).

The tres leches dessert was pretty dry in parts - which is a cardinal sin for one of my favorite desserts.

Overall, average and we likely won't be back.
