Most of the food selection was superb including the mango Fritters, Gumbo, greens, corn bread and Texas Redfish. What was sub-par was the Lava Cake. We expect this cake to have a molten chocolate center and instead it had a solid core. The pairing of the chocolate cake and Lime ice cream was a contrast in tastes that did not work. However the cornbread was scrumptious, the gumbo was fabulous and the Red Fish was fantastic. When we don't have to reach for the pepper , we know the food is spiced well. We recommend everything but the Lava Cake.
