Our golf cart taxi driver told us about this "tiki bar" that we had to go try. So we stopped in for a drink and ended up staying for appetizers too. I had a death drop which was well balanced with a fun pop of sparkle. The interior had touches of tiki which were fun. My potstickers were decent. An overall fun bar.

Spicy Honey Bbq wings, Bang bang shrimp, fries.

Amazing atmosphere! Head to the top for the piano bar, it's seat yourself so make friends if it's filled up! We ordered the Spicy honey bbq wings, bang bang shrimp, and fries for food. The wings were amazing and would definitely get that again! For drinks, we ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop and Pear cocktail. Great spot for a little drink and relaxed experience.

Seating inside, with oyster shell light fixture.

We were happy to get a reservation and the location is great - the menu is pretty standard, something for everyone and the food was fine, nothing to write home about but nothing too horrible either. For example, the cauliflower appetizer was great but nothing special, the tuna poke bowl salad was a little crunchy and somewhat lacking in pizazz and the veggie burger was fine but nothing amazing. Plenty of seating inside, kind of noisy, the servers were friendly but there were only two in the entire restaurant so things took a little long to get to our table.

Blackberry spritz

So good. Would describe as a hidden gem. Sat in the tiki bar which was more hidden than the indoor seating of the restaurant. Great assortment of drinks to choose from. The blackberry and st elder spritz were so refreshing and delicious. Ordered the burrata salad and fish tacos with truffle fries. The truffle was some of the best I've had and all the food tasted super fresh. Our waiter Tommy was amazing and super adaptive when we had other members show up later for drinks and food. Definitely would recommend this place to all travelers !

This place is very cute. We had cocktails at the bar first, which were fine. I ordered the smashing basil. Nothing to write home about. I wish they were stronger and better tasting actually. That was a little disappointing. For dinner, we had the spinach artichoke dip. The dip was really delicious and creamy. We loved it. For entrées, we ordered the special which was the brick chicken and the fish tacos. The brick chicken was really delicious with a real crisp skin and good flavor. I really enjoyed it. Fish tacos were crispy and delicious with a nice coleslaw on top. Waitress was very nice and efficient. Food was great. I just wish the drinks were memorable.

Such a fun spot! Open late with great patio music and an awesome vibe all around. The food was delicious, the drinks kept coming, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. It's one of those places that just feels good to be at. Definitely a must-visit when you're in town and the energy here is a whole vibe!

Bang bang shrimp

Amazing experience!! 10/10 Great espresso martinis!!! The bang bang shrimp is our favorite item! The pineapple salsa just makes it devine!!! We loved the service! Everyone is so nice. The lounge is nice for lunch and the dining room is great ambiance.

Loved it here. The lobster flatbread was creamy and delicious. The ceasar salad was a great light side to a heavier dish. I really enjoyed my red sangria while my friend liked her blueberry cocktail. There was live music and an overall adorable vibe in here.

Marissa is exceptional! I'm here for the first time evecelebrating my soon to be sister in laws bachelorette party and she made our night. She's went above and beyond to make the shrimp appetizer gluten free. By the time we got out main course I wanted her to sit with us! She's so down to earth and really made the night special. Thank you so much Marissa!!!! We love you!!!

We always have a good time here and this was no exception! Inside was chaotic and packed but still a blast. Our server, Jason, was AMAZINGGGG!!!! He helped us secure a table amongst the mass of people and then took great care of us all night. We will of course be back and will ask for Jason. Pictured is the Margarita Pizza and the Fried Haddock Tacos - both delicious! Highly recommend the spinach and artichoke dip as well.

Food, service and ambiance are always amazing. We prefer to sit at the lower bar when we come for food + drinks (especially at the seats closest to window overlooking Main St for good people watching).

June 2025. Had grilled burgers and hot dogs and 2 drinks outside in back area. We then went upstairs to go see Robert Dionne play and sing!

The poke bowl was one of the best we have had .

Last Sat pm we went in and sat at the bar and never looked back- excellent service, drinks and food !

OGT perfect relaxation

Plan on waiting in line for a while; this deterred us from going in. Looks like a good place for the younger crowd.

They handle large crowds as we even saw buses in the parking lot. The host was gracious, we were quickly seated at a nice window table and had a pleasant waiter. Entrees are on the pricier side, but comparable to other spots in town. Everybody enjoyed their food. I particularly liked the very crispy fried calamari appetizer and the short ribs were tender and delicious and a very generous portion. The scallop appetizer was also very good, as was the pork chop entree. We told our waiter we were seeing a show and he kept things moving along for us. We were not rushed, but did not need to worry about not having enough time. The only disappointment, and we realized after we left, was that the 10% discount for dinner, advertised on our ticket was not applied. I know our waiter knew as he told us to enjoy the show as we were leaving. As sponsors of the theater, it seems wrong that you have to remember to show your ticket to receive the discount, especially when our waiter knew. Other than that, I would recommend the restaurant

It was a busy night with a 45 minute wait but it was worth it. The service was great. All the employees were friendly. As for the food, the aromatic smells emanating from each plate were hard to miss. Granted, we were already hungry but we were not disappointed! We ordered "Big Bac" fries as a starter and we're pleasantly surprised at how zesty the sauce was. Think the ingredients in a Big Mac sauce, chopped pickles included, and then spread over fries. Yummy! I got Bourbon Marinated Steak tips with corn bread and baked beans. When the plate arrived, those steak tips were calling my name! The marinade was perfect. So savory and mouthwatering. The corn bread and baked beans weren't overly sweet but just enough, which I appreciated. One of my traveling companions ordered the Mac and Cheese with Beef Brisket. It was definitely enough for 2-3 portions! The pic does not do it justice on how large the portion is. Drinks were good too. I liked the Raspberry Lime Rickey. But the show stoppers really are the food. I will definitely come back on future trips!
