    We were seated at a table by the sand on the far left end near the bar. At first we were delighted with the location, but then people repeatedly stood next to our table while waiting for their own, or just to chat, or to take a photo. At one point, a guy's behind was almost touching my shoulder. This is not ideal for dining. Staff needs to not allow people to stand there. Our waitress, Ace, was nice but did forget a couple of items and we did have to flag her down a couple of times. The food was good, although I asked for light beets in the beat and goat cheese salad and it was packed full of them. Not sure if they didn't heed my request or if they put an outrageous amount of beets normally. I picked most of them out.

    New owners do a much better job than the old ones. Using open table is must.

    Despite a storm closing outdoor seating they were excellent rearranging. We were only 20 minutes late getting seats indoors. Service and food great!

    Food was tasty, but our two shrimp platters needed extra cooking time… shrimp came out cold and undercooked.

    The new ownership is fabulous, food took a while to come out, but they were able to accommodate us arriving an hour early to our reservation time which was much appreciated. They gave us the wrong drink at the bar whilst waiting for our table, but our server for dinner was quickly able to accommodate that error and substitute it out for the correct beverage. Other than that food was excellent and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We look forward to returning.
