Lots of interesting food items to choose from. There's some sure-fire plates that can't miss, and some to experiment with for the first time. If you're in the mood for a little seafood, pork sliders, or a light salad, and cocktails you're in the right spot. The Valencia paella is very delicious!Food: 5/5

Hello I'm proud to say that terrisa and John are the sweetest and nicest people to work with. The food looks really good, the people I have worked with are awesome and I highly recommend eating and working here with these amazing people! Thank you so much for having me here and I look forward to seeing you all soon! ?

I thought it was odd that this establishment was completely empty at noon on a summer Sunday; however, after the experience I had it’s not surprising at all.1) The server was less than friendly and had the flattest affect.2) every entree came out 5-10 minutes apart, as though there was one person making each entree individually. People were done eating before everyone had their food. The food was okay, nothing particularly impressive, but also not terrible. Medium at best.3) I ordered a **** Mary, and it was hands down the worst **** Mary I’ve ever had. The mix was sour and lacked flavor and/or any garnish.4) the server had the audacity to add gratuity for a “party of 6.” There were three adults, two children and a baby that remained in a car seat/carrier on the ground, because the establishment has no high chairs. Considering the baby to be dining individual, in order to add gratuity, was a stretch. All of the adults were servers all through college, so gratuity wasn’t the issue. In fact, the server would have received more, had she not added it.5) we asked to split the bill evenly on three cards, and were told they can only run two cards.Overall, it was was an awful experience. Which explains why it was completely dead on a busy summer Sunday. Everything around had extended wait times and crowds of people and this establishment didn’t have any patrons the entire time we were there. Highly recommend you eat elsewhere

What an amazing brunch! We arrived upon opening and were greeted with smiles and treated like locals. The lobster benedict was out of this world! Definitely stop in and try out their menu. Ask for the special of the day, as the menu changes every few weeks!Food: 5/5
