    Everything was fine. The renovations look great. The menu included lots of new items. We were all pleased with our food. Our only reservation was the “music”. We were there for lunch and the repetitive beat of the bass was annoying. Can you save that for later in the evening?

    Tried eating here 2 years ago, but couldn’t get in. So glad we made reservations this trip! Ethan our server was great, as was the Bimini bread, the pork filet, petit filet, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and the wine. I also had a whisky creek rye cocktail and my wife had a Negroni. Both were delicious. We will be back!

    Wonderful evening!! The ambience was perfect outside by the water. Service was great and our food and drinks were all delicious. We had the Mahi Mahi and it was outstanding and fresh. The only negative was the Brussel sprouts were too salty to eat. We will be back!
