We had a reservation for 10… my immediate family of 8 plus 2 family members from “the other side of Florida”. The table was ready just before our reservation time. The food was excellent, the service was great, BUT the noise level was crazy loud, and our table was right up against the backsides of people sitting at the bar. Other than the difficulties moving around and conversing from end-to- end of the table, it was actually a very good experience. Looking forward to going back when Florida winter ends!

Appetizers were great, but pizza was not that good. Crust didn’t hold up at all. Also not having ranch was a little interesting.

The Grouper was fantastic. Great service and fun atmosphere. Pizza flavor could be improved. Very doughy for a Neopolitan style pizza.
