    I have been eating here for 30 years. We came down to get on a ship and I had to stop by. The ambiance is rustic but high end, the views on the ocean are fantastic. We had a wonderful waitress that deserves 6 not 5 starts. We had brunch, I ordered the conch fritters and another app. My husband had their Lobster Bisque which was delicious, try these two apps, they are delicious. Brunch had a menu with brunchie items like lobster benedict also classic eggs Benny. There was a lunch selection of various fish and sandwiches with popular fish. I wanted to finish with a Key Lime Pie but I was full. They had fresh bread, pumpernickel and a whole wheat hard crust fresh bread and frozen butter. You can't go wrong here.

    Beautiful atmosphere. Food could have been good, but did not come out hot. No one seemed to be there to help our waitress, who obviously had several large parties. I think for the $$ there are food shortcuts that should not be taken. For example: if you're going to serve croissant, get good ones... buy them from a real bakery like Croissan'Time. I can't imagine the stupidity of the management to NOT have coffee pots nearby for the servers. She had to go back to the kitchen for a fresh cup every time. Definitely not set up to make life easier or more organized for the servers.
