Our whole table left them on their plates. The special red fish was just so so. Overcooked and dry on some of it. The salmon was good but too much stuff on top. Just scraped it off and was fine then. Our waitress was not very attentive and our food took 45 minutes after we finished our appetizers. That was disappointing. The view was so nice and we sat outside.

We were seated at a table next to the bar at a window with the sun pouring in - It is understandable that they had no choice with where the sun is and how bright, however, they should accommodate everyone with shades on the windows, which many Florida restaurants provide. The food was okay and our server, Ariel, was very good. The service was the best part. Because of the aforementioned, discomfort we don't plan on going back.
