    I matched my lime green polo shirt with my blue whale patterned pants purchased specifically for this evening of debauchery, err, festivities. The fish tacos were simply delish. Stone Ale's a must!

    Sweet potato crusted catch (tonight was Atlantic cod) was delicious! I will definitely be going back for it or even to try something else!

    The burger is an 8-ounce patty of prime beef grilled per your preference and topped simply with lettuce, tomato, raw red onion, and choice of cheese. No tricks here, and it comes with great fries. Read more

    Almost everything in the menu. The felafel was a little spicy. Wish they had their squash soup again.

    The food here is spectacular. Their soup was heavenly and their lamb burger was Amazing. The clientele isn't so bad on the eyes either!

    If they have the buffalo chicken soup, it is a MUST order. The Granola crusted Mahi Mahi is delicious, especially if they have brussel sprouts available.

    On the unadvertised (but totally worthwhile) kids’ menu, choose from cheeseburger sliders and chicken fingers.

    Can't go wrong with the fried avocado appetizer, the mahi mahi tacos, or the buttermilk fried chicken

    Ahi tuna nachos are delicious and I think they put crack in their butter. Yum!

    The Fish Tacos are one of the best dishes there. Try it, if you like Mahi Mahi you won't regret it.

    Was not that impressed. Steak tips were tough. Rice pilaf was very dry. Temp was cold. Prices were very high for the quality of the food and service.
