    The Mother's Day buffet was absolutely wonderful with large shrimp, their wonderful crabcakes, crab bisque with large pieces of crab, and prime rib! Sean  was our server.   He is attentive and a wonderful conversationalist!

    Food was excellent, uncharacteristically service was a little less than past experiences.

    Visited for my wife’s Birthday dinner. Service was very good. However she did not check back with us after we received our meals. I had the red snapper which was very good . My wife had the grill shrimp skewers and they were tough and overcooked. My wife could not eat them. The shrimp was taken off the bill but the manager never showed their face to discuss. Very disappointing. You would think a restaurant known for seafood could prepare shrimp properly.

    The food was really good, but it was not hot when it came out. Had the Filet and Lobster. Both were room temperature. Hot food is a requirement. The server cannot let the food sit on the shelf.
