We had the crispy oysters as an appetizer and they were the best I’ve ever had anywhere! My wife got the redfish that was very good and I got the chicken Parmesan which is a classic but they nailed it. For desert we had the chocolate torte and a cheesecake both were great. We will definitely dine again soon.

The food was delicious and fairly priced for the portion sizes. The service was also excellent. I couldn't stop eating the bread and butter brought to the table. We both got Christmas cocktails that were great. Overall, we had a great time!
