Good service. Ok food. Surprised at how fatty the lamb chops were but the meat was delicious and well cooked. Wine expensive. Noisy so it’s best to eat outside.

The new menu has some wonderful options. It was tough making a decision on what to order because I could have easily ordered several different dishes. I settled on the Bronzed Red Drum fish which was excellent! & cooked to perfection.
