    This restaurant is a real gem!! Limited seating (6pm or 8pm) and a limited menu is pure genius and allows this restaurant to shine!! Book ahead so you're sure to get a table. You won't want to miss the experience! I have a seafood and shellfish allergy, John the restaurant owner reached out directly to assure me they could accomodate me. They went above and beyond making sure I was safe eating at RSIB. Onto the food... I had the pork belly app, pear and blueberry goat cheese salad and the stroganoff. My husband had the stuffed shrimp, caesar and yellow tail (their specialty). The portions, taste, seasoning, IMHO, we're perfect!! We enjoyed our entire meal and can't wait to return!! On a side note, walk-ins are accomodated at the bar or at the few outside tables, but seating is limited. If you want to try RSIB you should make a reservation, you won't be disappointed!
