    I’ve been to this restaurant several times and always enjoyed it, so I thought it would be the perfect spot to bring my manager and Vice President for a nice meal and great views. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a huge mistake. We arrived and sat indoors since it was too hot outside, but once it cooled down, we asked to move outdoors. Most tables were open on the porch, yet our waiter chose the one table with a broken screen that blocked the view of sunset. My manager is from out of state and asked to dine waterfront so this was a huge let down. When we asked to move so we could get a full view of sunset, a waitress came out to say the other table was reserved and we couldn’t sit there. Then, the real issues began. My VP ordered a petite filet, which was out of stock, then a ribeye, also out of stock. She finally settled on grouper and fries. Our salads for our entree were all forgotten, and our waiter disappeared, leaving us without drinks or service for an extended period of time. Another server eventually came in to finish the job. Meanwhile, the “reserved” table stayed empty the entire time we we were there and as we left. This experience was beyond embarrassing and far from the impression I wanted to give to my company. I expected this place to deliver a polished experience, but it was the complete opposite. I’ve never been so embarrassed in front of a VP in my entire career.

    Our service was excellent, and the food was delicious! My filet was cooked perfectly and my hubby's lamb chops were wonderful! The view 9s spectacular and it's a great place to be during a thunderstorm.

    Two of us had Shrimp and Scallops Scampi. Not your typical Scampi dish with pasta, but was absolutely delicious and a bit spicy. The third person in our group had the Chicken Marcella. It too was very delicious. The side veggies of asparagus and carrots were a bit overcooked. More so the asparagus than the carrots. We will definitely be returning with more friends.

    Had the smoked mahi dip - first time having this appetizer and was very good. Truffle fries good too. I had grouper, guests and wifey had chilean sea bass and all cooked perferctly. Vegetables a little bland. Drinks were good. A little pricey for the type of food. Can't beat the sunset view. Unfortunately, the 3rd floor with the best expansive view was closed during our visit.

    We chose this restaurant more for the view and were pleasantly surprised by the food. The mahi mahi bites were cooked to perfection, fish and chips entree was large, the crab cake entree was very good and clam chowder was good. The chocolate cake was large and excellent as we shared it. Christian our server was pleasant, explained the items on the menu and was very attentive. Of course the view at sunset was beautiful.
