                                                  Excellent service and food. Stone crab claws were Not fresh and were not worth eating.

                                                  It was our anniversary and we were treated like royalty. There were rose petals scattered on the table, a signed anniversary card, and greetings by both hostesses and waiter. The food was delicious and beautifully presented as always. We especially appreciated the petite portions option.

                                                  We sat in the bar, where it’s always noisy/lively, but we like the live music. Food here is always excellent and Josh is an excellent server.
