    Excellent service without being intrusive. Our waiter physically moved our table because we were getting dripped on by the air conditioner. Delicious food. 4 friends shared the hanging bacon and cornbread cupcakes appetizer (delicious), the pecan crusted goat cheese and citrus salad, and the Fisherman’s Stew. All large portions for sharing and very good!

    First experience here with my fiancé. Overall nice atmosphere and amazing service for the most part. We waited quite a while for our food considering they didn’t seem that busy. We ordered the filet and the lobster rock shrimp carbonara. Carbonara was extremely watery, lacked flavor and had hardly any protein considering the price. The filet was actually very good but when my dish arrived the potato was literally fresh out of the fridge and ice cold. Had to wait almost 15 minutes just for them to bring out a potato that was hot and still just seemed so pre-made and not fresh. Disappointed considering over a $300 bill. We did not complain and paid or our bill , but surprised they didn’t offer for a complimentary beverage or something. When you’re paying top dollar you should expect more from a quality restaurant. Overall will probably not be dining here again.

    Love the location Hotel where it’s at. However we expected a higher end place. Filet mignon was a little overcooked when we asked for medium but the rest of the food was delicious .
