Edmund Hubbard: Great open air venue. The best place to see a summer concert. Best seat, the lawn seats. Best guy to see there, Jimmy Buffet.

Gabe Cruz: Dance floor is small but the crowd is mature and very friendly as opposed to a dance club were young knuckleheads get bent over small little things. Live band was awesome and played a variety.
