Second time here. Happy they are always accommodating even last time I was 15 minutes late. Food was excellent both times. The fried snapper was exceptionally cooked to perfection. Nice crisp on the outside and moist inside. My only issue was that there’s nowhere on the menu that says there’s an up charge for flavored drinks or sour cream for the nachos I ordered so when the bill arrived it was a bit of surprise. Wish our server had mentioned it.
