“ The food was tasty, the music was really good and it’s got very cute decorations. Service was a little lacking but nothing to ruin the outing. The offer hookah too so that’s cool. ”
“ I did not pick this place (I usually base my picks based off the Google review rating but I'm glad someone else picked this place). Best calamari I've had in a while. Worth going back just for this dish. Great music and staff was nice with taking a request. Drinks were delicious. Wish we could of gone another day or even a weekend. It was slow during the week but still a nice place and great food and music overall. Drinks are pricy but very esthetic. ”
“ First time here last night to watch the Colombian game and from now on this will be our place to watch the game. food quality was high, average prices, service was very good, very good vibes. I do recommend this place. Update: second time here with a large group of friends and everyone was asking why they don’t have the prices in the menu? I really suggest to put the prices on it, people like to know the price of what they are ordering. ”
“ The waitress was very nice and always asking if we were ok. She and the other waiter great service and attention. Food was good. The fried shrimp was good. The Long Island Ice Tea was made perfect. ”
“ I'd say this is a hidden gem. The food and service was amazing! Great music was playing and there was a decent amount of people for a Saturday night. I'd say the drinks menu should have pricing listed. I ordered a margarita and the glass was small and costed $20. I do recommend this restaurant for good vibes and great food. ”
