    So Good! A special dinner for my Grandma and me. First Boil I ever had! The girl was great that helped me order. She was patient and helpful. Made making a to go order easy! The food was soooo good. Great taste and enjoyed it all. Look forward to going back one day. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. I noticed other waitresses taking their time with tables and answering questions well. Seems that the staff is very aware of their menu. Good to see!
