We walked in almost at closing time, and food was absolutely delicious compared to others before they close. Service was spot on, extremely kind and most of all very informative on the menu items. Thank you and God bless, from the Garcia Family.

Great food and great service! Food was out quick and cooked perfect. We had the wings for appetizer, they were delicious! I had a platter of fish, shrimp and squid. My husband had the shrimp soup. Both were super size portions and very tasty! No complains here! We definitely look forward to another visit soon.
