    Always a great experience. Our server, Jacob, did an excellent job of explaining additions to the menu and keeping the timing of the table drink/meal deliverables well executed. If in the Inlet/Rosemary Beach area, this is a restaurant gem that combines service and great food for a wonderful dining experience. A special treat for those who appreciate the attention delivery expected for finer dining.

    The staff was very attentive to all 16 of us from the time we arrived. The food was excellent from cocktails to appetizers to the main course to dessert. Be sure to try the Olive Oil Cake! This will be one of our highlights of our Christmas in Florida.

    We had Christmas Eve dinner here and it was wonderful. Terrific service, varied choices on the Prix Fixe menu - seafood, beef and pork. The portions of each course were generous. The wait staff were warm and attentive, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. We did not feel rushed or forgotten. The key lime pie was delicious :) Would hughly recommend.

    It's our annual tradition to come here for our Christmas Dinner. Most definitely a 5 star restaurant. If I dug deep to find one idea in which to make the occasion even better would be a tad more Christmas decorations. But I'm just nit picking. Great establishment, great staff. See you all next year.
