    The service was spectacular. The weather was amazing. Sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful lunch. The grouper tacos were over the top! We also had Caesar salad, crabcake, and lobster bisque. The bisque was outstanding. Service was great. Loved our server.

    Not as good as usual. The risotto was not cooked all the way, some bites were crunchy. The salmon was cooked perfectly. So 1 dish was great the other not so good. Service was great.
