The food was amazing. I felt like they made it just for me. In Marshall was amazing as well given a service with a smile and making us feel welcome. Definitely will come back! The red snapper was the bomb by the way!

Bianca was an excellent server, and she managed to provide our food in a timely manner! Despite her being the only server serving many people, she gets the job done and deserves a raise!!
