    Trip Advisor has this restaurant rated at five stars and the second best restaurant in St Pete. Our orange ginger shrimp and grouper quesadillas were just good not 4 or 5 star. Service was good. It was noisy and our table could have been cleaner. We ate at some smaller places earlier in the week that exceeded this visit. Expect average for a tourist location.
