    Kenna was a great server. The evening was better with her. Our oyster on the half shell were very good as were the martinis. I ordered the sea bass - good taste with crab on top; but top of fish was a little over grilled and too rough. Hubby had red snapper with fingerlings. He felt the snapper was overcooked. Maybe someone new on the grill?

    We enjoyed the Wednesday night Prime Rib special. What a wonderful experience! The food, wine, and service was top notch! We will do this special event again.

    It was a slow night. Crowd was thin. Had reservations at 7 pm. Food was just ok. Staff seemed more interested in closing down and going home. Our meal and service seemed rushed and disinterested.
