    Beautifully plated & delicious food, server offered wine to taste because I wasn’t sure, cocktail was fresh,too. All in all a good date night spot. One point off because, at the end of the dinner, a party of eight sat near us & our talking was limited.

    One of the best seafood meals we have had in Florida! From the warm, freshly baked bread,to the wedge salad, to the catch of the day- swordfish, all was spectacular and delicious. Add to this magnificent service from our wait staff, Rachel and it was a five star evening. Highly recommended this restaurant!
