We were a party of 8 and they did a great job managing our food and drink orders. We have been there many times and it never disappoints. It has a fun Caribbean feel to it and the live music is fun!

The food was only ok. Our crab cake was served cold, they took it back and nuked it and brought it back 2 minutes later. The fish special was average. Key Lime Pie was good. The service was good. The hostess was very nice. The band was good.

What a disappointment! The server did not notice us for 10 minutes, the service did not get any better from there. The Caesar salad was terrible, overly garlicky, weirdly creamy and the lettuce had brown edges, we should have sent it back. The Tuna Madagascar dish was strange all around, the cut was full of white fibrous bits (kitchen should have been more careful). The seasoning on the fish was way too strong for the slim piece of fish. The elements of the dish did not go together at all, some Asian bits, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, but served with a flavored rice (maybe coconut), that was sticky and overcooked, overcooked green beans and carrots, and sitting in a beurre blanc. My dinner companion had a very disappointing scampi. The only highlight was the chocolate amaretto mousse for dessert. Don’t bother, the restaurant seems well past its prime.
