First time eating there food and service was excellent. Not a large place so it was a little noisy. A little pricey but in line for the quality of the food.Three of us had the Red Snapper and one had the Pork Chop they were all cooked perfectly and the Pork Chop was huge easily enough for two people. I had the Santa Cruz sauce and my wife had the Pontchartrain sauce both were excellent. Will definitely be back.

Great food and service. We opted to sit outside as the noise level inside would have made conversation difficult.
