    Great birthday celebration dinner. The interior courtyard is a beautiful setting. Gator bites were unexpectedly delicious & our entrees did not disappoint - especially the Crab Cake Napoleon. Go now, don’t wait.

    I have to admit, we thought this place would be very touristy and we were not sure how good it would be. This place is great! We had the chargrilled oysters, wedge salad, redfish Ponchatrain, and pecan crusted redfish. I now know exactly where I’m coming when I’m hungry for fish. YUM!

    Excellent food and location. Venue was pleasant and quiet. Waiter was green and not well trained but he did get our food to us. He phoned it in tonight. Would highly recommend restaurant got the food but have low expectations of professional service.

    The menu posted on Open Table is nothing like the actual. Missing steaks, some fishes, duck, etc. Prices were much higher also. So be aware that what you see is not what you get. My food was OK, nothing special. My wife said her's was very good. All in all would never go there again.
