About

This spot is a bit of a rollercoaster. Most diners rave about the fresh seafood and the warm, personal service from the team, often calling it a hidden gem. However, a vocal minority has had some truly rough experiences, citing inconsistent food quality, long waits, and some heated exchanges with management. It seems like a place that can be absolutely spot on one night and a total miss the next. When it hits, it is great value for the quality, but the recent reports of management issues are hard to ignore.
