Wow a place that is past its sell by date and living in the past. Portions were small, shrimp in two seperate dishes were dried out from over cooking, the grouper steak was not good. The sausage appetizer was almost tasteless. Staff is friendly but that was not enough to make-up for the lack of quality in the food.

one of the better "down neck" restaurants, always peaceful and good food.

I was there in August. Seemed to be pretty good. Visited in January - food was terribly salty, heavy. Interior probably never updated since early 70's. Service good when few customers.

I've been going there for the last 30 years, I grew up down neck, food was great back then and has only gotten better. Great wines and very affordable, Sangria is said to be the best.
