Customers on the work we do
We stumbled in on a Monday and there was good food and music! Vegan options are great, ceviche was a hit and Janet was the kindest server! Will be back!
Great as always! Quiet when there’s no live music, but the live music is always good. It’s a matter of what you’re in the mood for!
