    The few complaints should be tempered with- it was Valentine’s weekend, the restaurant was packed and they were still making everything happen. The meal was great! Mushrooms, beet salad, and lamb- all awesome! Paella and scallops- a little overdone. I am sure the kitchen was overwhelmed. They got the order right and kept the food coming out so, they deserve recognition for their hard work. We arrived on time for our reservation but had about a 15 minute wait before we were seated. Axle our waiter was well informed, made excellent suggestions, had a great sense of humor, and was witty even with a crushing load. In my opinion, great job Elias. We will definitely visit again.

    Tried this place on valentines and it was phenomenal. We aren’t seafood aficionados by any means, and I can’t speak to the authenticity, but I had the platter with oysters, shrimp, fries, catfish and stuffed crab, and it was leagues better than seafood I’ve had in beach towns. We tried the alligator and it was great (market price was low) and the hush puppies are fight worthy. They were out of key lime pie but we were arriving at dessert at around 9:45 pm on valentines so we’ll see that with a bit of empathy. Great service and great food. Highly recommend, even if it’s just to try and not to become a regular.

    We attended the Valentines dinner and while the food and service at table were excellent, we very much experienced feeling like a number. It was an over booked event will little individual attention and multiple servers having to tag team. The front entry waiting area was quite crowded. The “formal” attire suggested was not adhered to as one would expect of this caliber establishment. Some in attendance were wearing Carhartt and camo with Crocs. So standards could be improved. But we were glad to be served. Our server did charge our CC for a different table and had to refund it, but we understood in the chaos.
