    It's great for a special night out. We have visited for past anniversaries and this time for my wife's birthday. Edie is a great waitress and remembered us from a prior visit years ago. My wife and I had different entries—both were excellent. Beet salad is a great starting point. Save room for the bread pudding (there was plenty to share). We ate around 5:30, so we had a great view of the Gulf's surf (it was a high wind that day, so turbulent).

    Although we missed the sunset due to a colder/rainy day, the atmosphere, ambiance and decor of the restaurant was lovely and very welcoming. A very nice wine list and menu--so much to choose from. Our party of 8 had everything from the fresh grouper and crab cakes to filet to sushi to pasta and it was all super tasty. Nice portions and very well prepared and plated. A fantastic experience. Since it was the end of the weekend, they were out of our first wine selection, but were helpful in selecting something similar. And a few menu items were 86'd but again, they helped by making some nice substitutions. Although we selected to skip dessert, we were totally tempted by the Butter Cake. Overall, a fantastic dinner, in a great location...definitely see us going back!
