A wonderful experience all around. Attentive but not intrusive service, food was delicious, good-sized portions & gorgeously plated--a restaurant for grown-ups (though I was impressed with the number of families with children there). We were there to celebrate a birthday & our server comped us a lovely slice of key lime pie. We ordered the baked alaska anyway--what a treat!

My wife and I went for our 19 Anniversary. Our experience was amazing. They had a GF menu and nice table arrangement set aside for us. My wife was speechless. The server, Bene, was excellent and thoughtful. So was our waitress, Funni (May have spelled her name wrong but her kindness is not overlooked). The meal was done well done and flavorful. We hope to go back. The pineapple coconut mojito was delicious.
