                  Our reservation was for 8:00 and we weren’t seated until 8:40. I was told it was because of the cold weather making the outside seating unavailable for them Our server was very good and the food was good except for the fries that came with my wife’s mahi sandwich. Our entree arrived before we had finished our soup and in general we were hoping for a relaxed dinner. We aren’t likely to return anytime soon.

                  Service was outstanding as always. Quick, kind, personable. The food was a little off this time which is unusual in our experience. The steak was overdone- medium vs medium rare, the grouper smelled a little fishy and seemed slightly overcooked. I have enjoyed this dish before and do not recall that same impression. I have no doubt the server would have jumped to correct anything we asked but the “issues” were not problem enough to ruin our meal so we did not alert him. The mac and cheese was on par! We sat outside on the heated patio which was nice to get the fresh air on a cool, rainy evening.

                  If u r expecting a 5 star quality, do not go. This was my 3rd time. 1st and 3rd time , food was par. I wish people had passion for what they cook. It's so sad. From one chef to another, please get ur passion back.

                  They were able to accommodate the Change in party size. Payed close attention to the food allergies of our family. Food was delicious. Service was great. Only thing is we booked for the sing along brunch and were seated in the back away from the music. In the end it was on bc I don’t think we could hear one another in the singing room.

                  Great food and services, just really busy! Even with a reservation there was a 20 min wait for a table. Other than that and the high noise level, the staff was great, the accommodations to allergies was handled very well, and the food was amazing.
