Most Disliked
Waiting times can be a challenge, especially on Fridays when the restaurant hits capacity. Reports indicate that peak dinner times can lead to long waits for a table, which may deter those looking for a quick meal. Some also mention that during rush periods, service may dilute slightly as staff juggles multiple tables. While the atmosphere is generally inviting, larger crowds can create noise that might not be conducive to intimate dining experiences. Another point of contention is that certain items may sell out quickly due to high demand, which can leave guests disappointed if they have their hearts set on a specific dish.

Food always made fresh to order. There’s never been a time where I have been disappointed in my order. Everything is always fresh and made to order. The shrimp is butterflied so it’s properly cleaned. For the pricing they give a generous portion as well.

I love seafood. I had the fried conch and shrimp with fries. I also ordered chicken gizzards. All of it was good and seasoned well. I will most definitely go back, and I recommend others too.
