    First time, wedding anniversary, wife wanted to over look the water. If you like to people watch and literally be on the water this place is a must. The great food and service is just a plus.

    Server was great. Meal was less than good for the mother’s day brunch. $99.00 per person and the meal options were very basic and not very flavorful
