We were able to speak with the cheff who started the business and he was very personable. When he found out it was our anniversary he gave us a coupon for a free sweet potato chips/dip with an entree. This is the second time we have eaten here and we are never disappointed.

We tried the specials, both fish, for the whopping price of $27 and $30....sans salad, bread, or water. The food was well prepared.....but not a value at these prices. The... more
