We were able to get a Sunset (5:45-6:30) time slot. Simply beautiful. But anytime is a great water view location. The table-side preparations (& presentation) are lovely and fun! EVERY TABLE had the fresh Lobster bisque by flame, and the complete Caesar salad build. Impeccable service. A must do.

We were there to celebrate our anniversary and we were greeted with well wishes. Our server, Brandon used our name, which is something I truly believe is incredibly professional. He then explained the menu and their options. When asked, he recommended cocktails, and gave us his opinion on The menu choices for the four course dinner we each selected. He read our table and understood. We were not in a rush, but they are to enjoy a dining experience so our courcess came out paced accordingly. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great dining experience with excellent food great service and a wonderful way to spend our 20th anniversary.
