We went here to celebrate. Our waitress was nice and hospitable. The crab dip was amazing. My shrimp were perfectly fried and the batter was light. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere welcoming. Looking forward to going back.

Literally the best mussels I have ever had, the sauce is to die for. Even while being packed our food came out quick and was delicious. Most definitely one of my favorite restaurants and I love that it is family owned. 🩷
