I had the rib eye, wrong uneven cook temperature and I saw many other diners sending the food back, but I was honestly embarrassed for the waiters to do so as well. Barely edible. Don’t waste your money.

                                                                                      Is this helpful?

We were seated at a table by the server station and register. The noise level was significant and we had to really talk directly to that person to be heard! The drinks were all $10 or more. Our food was good but small portions. I ordered the Gulf Shrimp Creamy Pesto Pasta and I believe there were only 4-5 shrimp and only a few quarter size peices of squash in it. The sauce was very good. My husband had the Mahi Mahi for $38 and he was still hungry afterwards! The creme brulee for dessert was excellent.

We enjoyed good food and drink. We also bought some more hot sauce from the gift shop. The server was very good and timely in checking in on us. The table behind us was a group outing and they were a bit noisy, especially when the broke the bottle of hot sauce. We will go back again, and I recommend the restaurant frequently.
