Great staff, waiter was very good. The drinks were good as well. The views were amazing! Please note, a majority of your party must be there in order to be seated. So tell your late friends and earlier time in order to be seated timely.

The food and service were wonderful but the noise level was annoying. There was live music. Between that and the voices from a full restaurant I could hardly hear my table companions. It would be nice if, when making a reservation, one is given the option of sitting in the quieter section of the restaurant .

We had a Rubin, shrimp and grits, fish and chips and key lime pie for dessert. The presentation and taste were fantastic. This was the first time my brother and his wife had been here. They were pleased with the food, the view and the ambiance. When we arrived the noise level was quite high but by the time we left the place had pretty well cleared out and we were able to converse in a normal voice. This is one of my favorite places for a special meal that does not break the bank.
