    Our server Katie was lovely, but apparently no one told her I had texted that I wanted the check or to bring out birthday dessert for our friend before asking if anyone wanted dessert. I had emailed that to the restaurant. Our one friend’s grouper was overcooked and our bill was adjusted. I ordered tuna and I’ve always had it thinly sliced . I had a hard time with a thick chunk of barely seared tuna. My husband traded with me and I enjoyed the redfish

    We had a great time! The staff were all so friendly, and the food served hot and delicious ! We also enjoyed the unique drinks . We thought Adam the server was professional and nice! Chris the Manager dropped by and we thought that was a stand out moment. The nice front Hostesses were a plus too. The one recommendation I’d have is we did sit /wait quite a while to be waited on at the bar and then the table. However , they were very busy. Other than this it was a perfect night and the Sunset View was just unbelievable almost!! All in all -we would return with friends too -in a second . Especially to have the Lobster Mac and Cheese. A special shout out to the lady who made the dessert . I wish I had asked for her name as it was absolutely the best dessert (a pastry with a pudding like filling) . It had a fancy name but the best dessert I have ever had in a restaurant ! The pastry shell was just incredible !!
