    Very beautiful setting and great, attentive staff. Most of us thought our food was good but not great. Three diners had the special pear martini and LOVED it!

    We always request the booth seating at the end of the bar and as usual not disappointed. Shaneel, our server, was terrific. We had had her before and she has continued to be fantastic. The food was so good. We all tried different specials and they all were great. Love Celeste.

    Beautiful restaurant with really good food. A couple of misses: advertised (on the board) snapper special was not available at 6:00pm. Grouper was a little overcooked for my preference but others may find it fine. Seafood bon bons appetizer was great. Service was top notch. Veaux Carre cocktail is spectacular. Grits were surprisingly good. Disappointed to find that their crab is from Indonesia but understand that the price of local crab would be off putting to some. Let me say one more time that service was great —- and that’s the key to a nice dining experience.

    Our first experience here. We dined on a Sunday night so the restaurant was not crowded. We both had seafood/fish dishes and they were both excellent. Highly recommend the blackened red fish with cheddar grits, excellent. Service was friendly.

    Always a reliably pleasant dining experience. Service is excellent. Staff makes every effort to accommodate diner's requests including the superb bartender! The menu is continually updated based on diner's comments. Tasty dishes are prepared nicely. Is a definite go-to on the Island.
