    We had a fantastic meal while visiting from Canada. We had a wonderful outside booth and incredible service. Our table had a sweet card on it wishing us a happy anniversary when we arrived. We started with cocktails (pina colada and mai tai) and shared the gotten sticky ribs and coconut shrimp. We shared the Filet mignon. All of the food was really nicely done. The steak was like butter. We enjoyed a glass of wine with our steak and then, even though we were very full, we shared the key lime pie and were glad we did! I highly recommend this restaurant and its wonderful staff and suggest finishing the night with a photo with Duke, the bronze statue out front.

    It was a pleasant dining experience. We sat between two heat lamps just outside of the restaurant. The special crudo of the day was refreshing and clean tasting. The two-face tostada was also good. The memorable dish of the night was the risotto. It was creamy but not overly rich and the rice had a good bite to it.
