The staff here is upbeat and knowledgeable about the sourcing of their ingredients. As a dietitian, I can say this is a great way to eat out if you are still trying to eat healthy. We got the seared ahi tuna, grains and greens and it was all so tasty!

Tried this place for the first time yesterday evening. The restaurant was very clean and we were greeted immediately upon entering. The person working the front took the time to walk us through the menu and made recommendations. The fish and chips were delicious but the coleslaw was pretty mediocre. (Who goes to a restaurant for coleslaw though) The staff took turns singing Creed songs which only enhanced the dining experience. And to that I say .... HOLD ME NOW, I GOT THE HUSH PUPPIES AND IM THINKING MAYBE FRIED DOUGH AINT SO BAD NOW

My mom and I had an amazing first time experience here. A special thank you to the male cook who took the time to come out of the kitchen and check on us personally. He went above and beyond to ensure that both my mom and I were completely satisfied with our salmon salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked. It was so flaky end the salad was so fresh!

We ordered takeout for lunch at the office. I had the fried shrimp and it was crispy and delicious! The sauce is also incredible!
