      Good Ambiance

      Has good ambiance. Dogs are allowed downstairs only, but I preferred that since it puts you literally right on the water. Staff loves dogs too. Super friendly.

      Be prepared to wait if you show up after 5pm. They get quite busy.

      Great setting & food

      The food was wonderful and the waiter brought out water immediately for my dogs. We had ample room between tables (on the beach) for the dogs to sit/lie next to us. We loved the live music, the ambiance and the food. We will absolutely be back with my dogs.

      Not so dog friendly

      We were disappointed in how they treated Max. The food here was good but we tried to order chicken tenders and they told us no that all he could have is water. Needless to say I don’t think we would ever go back there.
