   It's a great place. I had the mojito and the seafood paella. Very tasty. Also the fig prosciutto flat bread was amazing. I've been here many times and I'm always impressed. Please get there early!! Parking took me a half hour! Maybe it's because it's Spring Break. Also, I would suggest to make reservations weeks in advance.

   The food and drinks were just “okay” and not worth the price for the food. The location was amazing though!

   We had a great outdoor seating for our dinner. The view was amazing and the drinks very good. My husband's meal was extremely spicy with chorizo sausage, he could not taste the seafood in the dish. this was not a good choice for him. My grouper special was good and presentation was excellent. Our waitress was very low keyed and was not very attentive. We had made reservations and did get right in and again had an amazing table. Thank you Doc Ford! It was our anniversary dinner.

   Went there for a special occasion. Server forgot multiple things & just kept saying it’s busy. Mind you, I also work in the service industry. This experience was less than parr. You’re paying for the ambience, definitely not the service. Food was good. Dessert was super bland. There’s better options around the area.

    We were celebrating my husband‘s birthday. I let the restaurant know both in my reservation, and when we arrived, yet nothing was offered to him as congratulations, no complementary dessert, nothing. We sat outside, and the noise level was way too loud for our taste. This is not a place for relaxing conversation. The service was mediocre. We waited for a long time to order, for our food to arrive, and to receive the check. We will not be returning to this restaurant.
