    It has beautiful views of the Gulf and intercostal depending where you sit. Food was really good and they have BOGO on margaritas. It is on the second floor so it has stairs but also has an elevator. The staff was friendly and quickly got the food out. I marked it as a 4 because our server wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer - he got us drinks and we already knew what we wanted to order but he said he needed to come back because he was getting someone’s food. He didn’t come back. Totally forget we were there and we were his table. Tried to take my plate which had 1/2 the meal on it. No offer of to go box until I asked. Then he couldn’t remember what we ordered to add a dessert. Maybe it was an off day. We would still go back.
