The food is amazing & so is the service. Last night we sat at the bar and the bartender, John took GREAT care of us. He is truly an asset to your team. I suggest selling jars of the pickled vegetables and the jam on the Jamaica shrimp. Both were too good not to sell! We will be Bach soon and ordered the same thing.

Always great, but better at happy hour! Try the pan fried flounder or the steak frites.

I ordered my salmon medium well to well done-it was almost raw when it came to the table. They were very gracious about taking it back to the kitchen; however. It took forever to come back out and everyone at my table was almost finished eating by that time. It was very good but took a long time. The server was very nice and apologized over & over…mistakes happen.

Most of what we ordered was fried and seemed like fryer was may be too hot — outside of food was almost burned, inside a little under cooked. But want to root for this place, lots good about it, so going back again tomorrow to give it another go.

The fresh oysters were amazing! Service was fast and extremely friendly. A pleasant atmosphere and very accommodating for some in my family with dietary restrictions. Will definitely be returning.
