Another winning Sunday Brunch with my group! I always check the menu before we go and the majority of the things I wanted were “spicy” so I stuck to the happy hour appetizers which were spectacular the elote fritters are a definite tease so get two orders…just saying. The crab cake sauce had a lil kick to it too. I needed some hot sauce for my walleye fingers which were delicious by the way. I ordered the crunchy French toast and a side of bacon as well. The Bloody Mary was right on point and I tried the refreshing sangria. Most definitely have to make a return trip with the family. Samantha was awesome thank you for taking care of us. All in all it was a great place to gather, eat, drink and enjoy ourselves. Thanks for having us 🥳
Elote Corn Fritters were great. Blackened fish tacos were good. Jambalaya was pretty good. More of a stir fry. Desserts were amazing! Hot apple pie a la mode & Key lime pie. Would definitely try this place again.
John was an amazing server. We had the best experience here and looking forward to our next visit. Food was great as well. Has the shrimp and grits, fish tacos, lobster roll and fish and chips. All were amazing. We will definitely be back and will be asking for John!!
Happy hour prices on a great selection of tap beers and appetizers. The Elote Corn Fritters were tasty. We ordered Fish & Chips for our main entree. They were crispy, flaky and hot. Hot Apple Pie for dessert and it didn’t disappoint. Hats off to Jenn our server.
This is honestly, theee absolute best breakfast I have ever had. I ordered the crunchy french toast and instead of individual sides I had the breakfast burrito without a tortilla. The french toast was crispy on the outside, super soft and sweet inside. The syrup is nice but it was also sweet without. The “burrito” was *chefs kiss* spectacular! Flavorful, juicy, and well presented. Melissa and Anna were super cool. Didn’t even bat an eye when I said I was about to make this complicated order. I came with a friend who saw it on IG. I can’t wait to come back with my family for brunch another weekend.
Wow, I’ve never had better salmon! This restaurant prepares everything from scratch, and the food is incredibly delicious. The veggie fries are also fantastic. Highly recommended!
New orleans salmon and Brussel sprouts. Perfect! Super moist and flavorful. I am not an audible eater. This had me making ummmm and yummy noises until it was all gone. Portions were perfect. Staff was amazing. Chief was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back. Melissa was amazing. SALMON NEW ORLEANS i am super picky and love my own cooking best. This was a super experience of flavor and quality♡♡♡
5 Stars – Outstanding Service!
I had an incredible experience thanks to Britt! From the moment I sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and clearly knew their craft. The cocktails were expertly made—balanced, flavorful, and presented beautifully. What really stood out was their ability to read the room: engaging when you wanted conversation, efficient when it got busy, and always professional. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, personality, and genuine hospitality so seamlessly. I’ll definitely be coming back—cheers to an exceptional bartender!
