Delicious dishes, day and night! Regular restaurant in the back, tavern up front. Patio seating when weather suits! Awesome servers and a roaming art show with local artists and more. Try the unique Tavern seafood salad or excellent truffle fries with roasted garlic aioli!

Food was great and loved the vibe there. It had the dark and woody old school tavern look without smelling like mildew like many of those places still do. Bang Bang shrimp were large and awesome, though the calamari was a bit spicier. …
