"Every time we come its such a great experience!!
Fantastic food insane portions... Painkillers are so delicious 😋
Staff is always so friendly and accommodating!!!
Only reason we gave Service 4 Stars instead of 5 was because hostess was a lil rude and was putting in a solid effort to accommodate our group of 8 she instead kept implying they didn't have space... I had to ask for a manager for her to finally take Initiative to seat us..
Our server however, a older Hispanic man was INCREDIBLE, AMAZING KIND ..AND ALL around FANTASTIC!!!"

"We ordered the key west chicken and shrimp which came with rice and veggies then we also got the hot honey chicken tenders with fries and veggies. We loved the honey croissants that come as their complimentary side. The alcoholic drinks were also pretty delicious; we got the strawberry puree and the painkiller, they were strong but delicious. Overall the service was great and the food. But it was pretty warm in the restaurant, like there was no air flow."

"Our server was great and the food was very tasty well made. We ordered several fish entrees and was told afterwards that the kitchen has no rice to go with the meals that were already prepared."
