    Initial impression was breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, but extremely loud din of diners conversation. As we were seated and initially greeted by our server, we were reminded that this establishment was a "steakhouse". We ordered a round of soup and salads as an appetizer. The lobster bisque was very good. The Caesar salad was warm and wilted. We were waiting for our entrees when I noticed the table across from us, returning a bone in filet which was sinfully over cooked. Service was slow to say the least. We were seated promptly at 7pm, but after 1 1/2 hours, we found ourselves asking our server for the entrees. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived. One fillet ordered medium rare was cooked to well done, and the other ordered medium, was still purple. The rare steak was sent back and returned ten minutes later cooked correctly, but the fingerling potatoes were now dried out and barely edible. As a note, at the end of my meal, the server arrived with a refill of my wine. Although the gesture is recognized, we had already asked for the check, and were looking to put the dinner behind us. You could attribute the poor service and food quality to the fact that the restaurant was "overloaded ", however, there were only 14 tables in the establishment , and the patrons arrived at a measured pace, so there was no apparent tidal wave of orders being placed. Pricing at this establishment is on par with finer traditional steakhouses, so the expectation iof a fine dining experience is set from the beginning. Unfortunately, our overall experience was mediocre at best, and not worthy of a repeat trial at these prices.

    We have visited 3 yrs now, every time we visit the island since opening. Twice now we’ve had EJ as our waiter. He is incredible! Friendly, professional and wonderful at his job. We arrived early with a dear friend visiting us from Fort Myers for a traditional birthday dinner. The host and Manager seated us early, EJ never made us feel rushed. The visit was a first for our friend who stated he will return with his wife. The atmosphere is perfect, warming and tastefully decorated. We watched sunset from our table and enjoyed every moment. Thank you again to EJ for making the evening great!

    Scott first class server. Steak good. Lobster and crab cake good. Did not care for oyster’s Rockefeller recipe. Too much stuffing. Very nice experience. Congrats to Tween Waters on an excellent addition.
