There are not enough words to describe how amazing this restaurant treats my family and I. We’ve dined at this place more than 7 times. We had my wife’s baby shower here. The staff is phenomenal and super helpful. Love this atmosphere, beautiful view of the water near south Jersey. Amazing vibes. ☀️💛

Eggplant starter was huge and enough for a whole meal! Tasted amazing with balsamic and marinara combo. Sushi was fresh and aparri very good! We sat at the bar and had a nice view. Good atmosphere! Great service.

First time at this establishment, made an reservation via the phone & requested indoor seating but hostess had it out for outdoor. Outdoor is was! Was expecting an higher class establishment, kinda made more towards outdoor bar & laid back. Chairs were slightly uncomfortable, the live music had some great classic rock hits, but was a tad loud to speak to the person next to you! Food was very good, pricing was fair for amount of food & presentation. All the cocktails were made on point & had a great variety. Wait staff could have been alittle more timely but was overall friendly! Indoor dining room seemed nicely decorated! Overall not a bad place! I would definitely recommend. Atmosphere was great & had good vibes!

We came out of town from VA to visit my aunt. Before Thanksgiving day we had a wife and husband night out while my mother watched our son and we decided to come here. The food was great, shortrib Gnocchi and the stuffed flounder. We also had the duck wonton app; which was also really good and a couple mai tai drinks. Everything was great. Can't complain. Keep it up. Thank you Katie L. For serving us out of towners :)

We have a large family and decided to go to brunch to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant and staff were fantastic and very accommodating to the 20 of us. Everyone loved the selection and all of the food. We have been there before for parties and will definitely be back more often for dinner and brunch again.
