Went on Mothers Day and it was great! Parking is either across the street or you can do complimentary valet. The menu for Mothers Day was very good. Food excellent and the service was on point. There’s indoor or outdoor dining plus a nice bar. We will be back!

One of my favorite spots now! Thanks HRW! My blackened ahi tuna was cooked to perfection of medium as requested! The best flavor and taste combo with the couscous. Old Fashions are my favorite and mine were made fantastic.

Service was very slow at first but then it picked up. It took 2 hours for a party of 2 to have a 2 course hrw lunch. I wouldn't call the service fine dining but the food was excellent and so were the old fashions!
