   Make an online reservation and give yourself extra time to find parking. The restaurant is very good!

   Mikey was great. Food was OK. Some of the dishes were good while others were lacking in seasoning and were delivered not as described on the menu. Biggest issue were two things first there’s an up charge for gluten-free yet. There were no modifications needed so we were kind of confused why you had to charge for gluten-free. Maybe this was noted on the gluten-free menu but we did not see it. Second issue was from the gluten-free menu. It was suggested to do a chicken thigh which my daughter ordered. However, she has serious issues, eating meat from a bone, and this was on a bone. So the description needs to be corrected to show that that is on the bone. Lastly our reservation has to be seated on the deck, and we were seated below in the pebbles. Probably won’t be back because I feel unless you’re changing things on the menu to accommodate an allergy you probably shouldn’t be charging for this. But that’s just my perspective.

   Our server was fast and courteous. We sat on the terrace overlooking Tampa Bay. It was spectacular.

   Fantastic food and great view of St Pete’s pier! Highly recommend. Noise level was moderate. Delish clam chowder and tuna app/salad.

   The seafood is great. The Seared Tuna Appetizer is AMAZING! Prices are very reasonable.

    Staff was excellent. Front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming and helpful. Wait staff excellent as well. Noise level however was over the top loud! We had to scream to hear each other at a booth. Restaurant was packed and a very fun atmosphere, but still, noise level was crazy. Food was okay.
