We were greeted by the hostess and seated promptly. Our server was great. She recognized that we were relaxed and adapted to our dining pace. The meals were delicious. One of the best presentations and flavor combinations was the seared tuna. An excellent dining experience.

Great dining experience in a very elegant setting, without feeling stuffy. Peerless service. The grouper (on a bed of succotash) was a touch dry, but the overall dish was creative and tasty. The she crab soup was superb. We will return.
