Food was fantastic. Always nice to have an adult beverage at bar prior to sitting down to dine. Kelly is amazing bartender and raises the bar for great cocktails.

Great overall experience! We had the crispy oysters as an appetizer and they were the best I’ve ever had anywhere! My wife got the redfish that was very good and I got the chicken Parmesan which is a classic but they nailed it. For desert we had the chocolate torte and a cheesecake both were great. We will definitely dine again soon.

I made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. The food was delicious and fairly priced for the portion sizes. The service was also excellent. I couldn't stop eating the bread and butter brought to the table. We both got Christmas cocktails that were great. Overall, we had a great time!

The men’s room lacks handicap bars around the toilet! I was surprised, thinking that this is required by law. If not, it is a necessity for handicapped guests.
