It may have been the loudest restaurant I have stepped into in years. After struggling for the first few minutes of yelling across the table to each other, we ended up eating our meal without conversing whatsoever. When you can't hear yourself think during a meal, it's virtually impossible to enjoy yourself. In their defense, though, our waiter said the management is well aware of the sound problem and planning to do something about it. Happily, on our second visit we sat on the patio with some friends and had a wonderfully enjoyable evening.
Conversation becomes a viable option.
The problem is that there are only a handful of tables on the patio. The open kitchen in the back is jumping with activity. There are five appetizers in the ocean category, four choices in the ranch category. The flavor combination of the fresh sweet oysters with chunks of chewy smoked pork really works. Pizzas are the cracker-style version and are pretty good.
