    Food was ok but had to wait too long. There's also people that bring their dogs. Which is not good around the food. One persons dog actually got a loose and ran underneath the table of another party which caused a disturbance on the patio area.

    We went for dinner and had a 6:45 pm reservation. We were seated quickly and service was very good. We had a great evening. The shrimp cocktail presentation wasn’t very thoughtful, but the coconut grouper bites appetizer was nicely plated and tasted amazing!!! My husband really enjoyed the crab and grouper entree, I had the Cali roll- it was fine. Our friends had the grouper sandwich and a poke sushi bowl - and they loved their meals. Dessert - they had tiramisu and we shared key-lime pie. Both deserts were absolutely delicious. I also had a cappuccino with dessert and it was perfect! Overall we were very happy with our experience and will definitely go back!!!

    Great food and service. I brought my parents here, who were in town for the first time. Our waiter was very kind and informative when it came to questions about the menu. She checked in periodically and accommodated our needs accordingly. This was a great experience all around and will certainly be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a more relaxed experience with a beautiful view on the water.

    Great outdoor dinner with family. The new remodeled patio area is lovely. Sushi and poke bowls we had were very good. Children liked their kids meals as well and the cookie at the end was a lovely touch.

    The service was slow and inattentive. The wait time from ordering to food arriving was almost 20 minutes. Had to constantly ask for coffee refill and when food arrived two of the four orders were cold. Not sure I will return.

    This is unacceptable for us John. I will message you directly.
