The staff was super friendly and had such positive attitudes making the experience enjoyable. There is a parking lot located to the side of the restaurant where you can easily park. However, I believe there is a two hour limit. If you plan to come for brunch on the weekends, make sure to reserve a table ahead of time because it fills up fast! There was a line out the door as I left. I ordered the southern breakfast with the grits and bacon from the menu, however, they offered plenty of brunch specials as well. The portions are plenty filling, offering generous servings that leave you satisfied without feeling like you need anything extra. I would love to come back and try some of their dinner options.

The outdoor patio is nice and they're pretty open minded about whatever you wanna smoke. Gone there twice and seen several good bands so we definitely would go back.

UGH For Tapas YES Fried Calamari was absolutely amazing Fresh, not dry at all with a large bowl and 2 delicious dipping sauces. BUT For Paella Classic for 2 Never again. It was a huge disappointment after our tapas as a warm up. It was served in an iron skillet, nice presentation but much smaller than we thought it should be for 2. It had no moisture at all, the rice and chorizo sausage with chicken bits and shrimp. The shrimp was very disappointing just rubbery and dry. This place has a 4.7 star rating and a great looking Menu. Maybe it's a Ridgefield Connecticut thing to go there for an enjoyable atmosphere. For the food quality it was too expensive comparatively as view on their website. We picked it because of the Great Rating. The head manager/owner was great and the staff was very attentive. We had dessert and coffee the coffee was nice and strong, fantastic but dessert was a version of crème brûlée taste was good Caramelized sugar wasn't there. When the Restaurant manger asked how was everything I had to let him know, he appreciated it and took the coffee off of the bill. We still gave a 20% tip for the great service. Sad to say We won't ever go back

Maybe the best ceaser salad ever. Appreciate the small cuttings of the lettuce. Maine lunch beer will always get 5/5 from me. Ahi tuna tacos were divine wish I ate them last.

Oh seated right away. 4/5 the smores brownie was good not great a bit dry. Wife says I'm being overly critical. Probably. Margarita was very good. Salmon tacos also very good but really suffered in comparison to my ahi tuna tacos. Had I eaten them first they'd be 5/5

We ordered steak nachos, crispy chicken tacos, and steak fajitas- $3 extra for a cup of rice and beans. The nachos and tacos came out together. The nachos were cold with solidified cheese. We sent them back and asked for them to be remade but got burned under the broiler nachos. Also- can they be called nachos with only 6 chips? We sent them back again only to have them reappear with 6 new chips and new melted cheese on top of the original hardened cheese. While we waited for them, the fajitas arrived and so we all ate at different times during our dinner out. We asked for additional chips but never got any. We were charged $6 for the cup of rice and beans, even though the menu clearly stated $3. Overall, this was a very disappointing meal. Too bad.

However, if there are vegetarian or celiac people in your party- it's not worth it. The food is really meatetarian and lots of gluten. This is sad for us because when our family members are visiting who are veggie and have celiac, we don't go here, so the restaurant loses out in all 8 of us. Celiac folks: beware
