The food was overall well prepared. For the price I would have expected a bit more personal interest from the chef. My risotto was a touch under cooked which distracted from the delicious grouper that was perfect. The service was slow to warm up but friendly and helpful. It was our anniversary and the server placed our dessert on a platter with “happy anniversary” on it. The crust on the crème brûlée was burnt, but the cream was set to perfection. Small details make a difference. The music was club music and a bit loud for a fine dinning experience. Overall would eat here again. Would appreciate a bit more interest from the cooks on the complete meal.
