    Excellent restaurant!!! We sat on porch which had heaters and was absolutely perfect. Our server was fabulous and the food, as always, was delicious! Had lobster/shrimp/linguini carbonara dish and red snapper - both of which were very yummy. The calamari appetizer and pecan pie dessert were also out of this world. Highly recommend - especially for special occasions.

    Happily surprised with bubbles for two to celebrate my husband’s birthday!! It was a warm welcome for our first visit. Food was excellent (salmon dish and lobster/shrimp carbonara dish) and service was attentive. Decor is simple but the restaurant was full of people and quite festive. A real gem! Excited to return!

    The food was delicious but over priced. Service was impeccable. The acoustics weren’t very good. For such a fine dining establishment, they need to do something about the noise level. It is an easy fix. We had the grouper, chicken, and two types of steak. All were very good and portion sizes were on the large size.

    Pretty setting, festive vibe, good and attentive service but the value for what we had was way disproportionate to the area. Locals would love to support the area so give that some thought when pricing your menu's, please :)

    I hate to say it was great because less odds I get a table. Well run, servers and chef listen; quality abounds. We had salmon and scallops - not easy to cook - primo. Server excellent.
