We are a party of 8 after a day of golf.We were brought to a table & after that it took a while before they took our orders for drinks to start.....& also took a while before it arrived.,So it did not start promising.We ordered our dinner when we ordered our 2nd drinks since we notice the slow service.It took a good 2 hours before our dinner arrived. My husband & I can only speak of our mussels that we both ordered. Good that it is quite good.I love everything, the mussels are all good, tomato sauce & the tasty grilled bread with it.love the salad as well.Our brother in law complained of dry chicken that he ordered.

The experience overall was okay. Enjoyed the atmosphere. The timing was great for a reservation of a large group while we could see other large groups & small tables to make a full dining room. The servers were very friendly & attentive. The food was hit or miss. If the food was good, it was amazing (beer coated fries, shrimp appetizer...). If the food was bad, it was terrible (the steak was cold & half of it was fat to cut off if you dont enjoy, the nachos were stacked tall but everything under the first layer was bare...). The price for the experience was a bit much & I would not recommend coming here for supper. However, I would definitely recommend & return to have some drinks as their beer & cocktail menu are on point, & grab some snacks/appetizers.
