The oysters were so fresh, watching them get shucked right at the bar was the best part. The shrimp cocktail was good too, but those oysters really stood out.

The frozen painkiller was a nice choice for happy hour. The jalape&ntilde;o margarita was a bit strong for my taste, though.

It gets packed and loud on weekends, but the bartenders are super quick. Love the open layout and all the patio space - perfect for our big group.

Our server was friendly and attentive. They noticed we were in a bit of a hurry for a business lunch and kept things moving without us having to ask. Made the whole process smooth.

Creative cocktails are the star here. The Tropical Itch was fantastic, and the bartender&#39;s knowledge of spirits made the pairing suggestions spot-on.

The live kitchen behind the counter is a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. They always remember my wine preferences and get it right.

The coffee here is consistently good, and I appreciate that. What really stands out to me is the freshness of their ingredients. You can taste it in the simple things, like the milk in the latte. It just tastes clean and high-quality. The staff is always pleasant too.

The poffertjes with vanilla cream were a treat. The young guy at the counter was super nice, really made the stop with the family. I just wish they had a coffee or a simple digestif option to go with it, would&#39;ve been the perfect finish.

Service is a bit inconsistent here. Some days the staff is super friendly and really makes the visit. Other times, it feels like they&#39;re just going through the motions. Been coming for years, you notice these things.
