I enjoyed dinner with my daughters tonight on the patio. Our dinner was delicious. The blackened grouper with mango salsa was amazing but I came back for the key lime pie. (: Our server, Carlo was wonderful. He definitely went above & beyond to provide us with excellent service. See you in July!

Another very enjoyable dining experience. Oyster Rock is one of our favorite places for a wonderful meal. After dinner, we enjoy sitting by the fire pit.
