This restaurant was recommended several times and I’m sad we waited until our last night to go. My husband had surf and turf and said the lobster was very tender and the steak was perfect. I had blackened chicken which was good and the baked potatoes were cooked to perfection! We will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a late dinner. There were maybe 20 of us in the entire restaurant. We were seated right by the window for a great view. It was very dark where we were seated. I think some flameless candles would give it some great ambiance.

We had a sweet little server who was very attentive.

I ordered the stuffed grouper and my husband had the mahi mahi catch of the day. We were brought some bread that smelled delicious and tasted great. Salads were good and the perfect side size. They were out of mashed potatoes so we had to change sides but it was fine.

All in all it was a good meal, the interior is all wood and muted colors, it has a neat old Florida feel.

The only somewhat odd thing was a table set up when you walked in that had a lot of silver jewelry for sale on it. There were some nice pieces, just an odd place to be set up.

Would go again!

We started with some local brewed beer and a fancy rum drink, both wonderful. We the had meals of Blackened shrimp, best I ever had in my life, and my wife had Crab cakes. They were so big a filling she shared a bit with me. Fantastic! Our waiter Dave was quick and added to our great experience. We will be returning. This place is a gem!

Good meal. Fried grouper was not too heavily coated. Cooked to perfection. Another in our party got grouper grilled - also excellent. Got a nice salad with the meal. And hush puppies. Some others ordered the Chicken Parmesan - was very good. Would recommend this place to others.
