    Wonderful place. We watched the inauguration here. First time there. Owner is the best. And the ladies working there are super friendly and sweet. The food was delicious. The people were really laid back and friendly. This is a local place which we longed for. We Will be back. Like today!!!

    Stopped here for dinner on a Monday with my husband. We sat inside and they seemed pretty busy for…read morea Monday. Music was playing on and off which made the vibe a little weird. Service was okay, could have been more attentive but overall not terrible. All food came out decently quick after ordering. We got the garlic bread and calamari appetizers. They both came with a very generous portion of marinara sauce, especially the garlic bread. We also got teriyaki wings and a pork tenderloin sandwich. The wings were great and a good size. I asked for extra crispy and they delivered just that. I love that the side of blue cheese it came with was a big, suitable size for the large wings. My husband really enjoyed his pork tenderloin sandwich and said it was the best one he's had to far from any restaurant. Overall a good experience here. I feel like Fort Myers lacks nice casual restaurants like this one. We will definitely return and try outside seating next time. :)

    Super casual vibe so if that's your scene you'll feel right at home. Food was pretty good, solid…read moreburgers and fries, grouper sandwich was delicious too! We were there during their happy hour and wanted to take advantage of it but the $4 margaritas were disappointing. Felt like it was all margarita mix and no alcohol at all. I get that it's a $4 margaritas and I wasn't expecting a craft cocktail but it should still be a margarita. Another disappointment were the wings. I felt like the tables and layout of the place felt a little crowded. Overall, not really my vibe so in all honesty it's not going to be one of my regular spots.

My husband and I…read morealong with my sister and her husband came for an early dinner before heading to the movie theater. We were ordered some happy hour priced appetizers such as the Celtic knots, hummus and sausage rolls. All were tasty but I have to admit the knots were my favorite as I love hot pretzels. For dinner hubby and I shared the Hockin or flocking molly. A delicious combination of mashed potatoes and Irish sausages. All our servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The weather was also perfect for enjoying the patio. I can't wait to come back for St Patrick's Day!

Bar tenders kept walking past a guy and paid no attention to him. I think 4 ppl bar tenders walked past him to go to tables and ignored him. He tried to get someone's attention with no luck. He put his wallet and credit card out, but that didn't help. Finally, our bartender came back near us finally and asked if we wanted another round but completely ignored him. I said, yes we need drinks, but he would like something, take care of him first. We ordered food and the guy put our food literally on top of our cards while in the middle of playing and trying to dab the cards. Why he didn't put it next to us was beyond me. Overall, I love the place but def some off moments. However, I'm excited to see the new build out and how big it will be.
