    We had a lovely lunch with a lovely view. My chicken salad sandwich was excellent and my dining companion had the Grouper sandwich which she enjoyed very much. Do not hesitate to choose the Crow's Nest!

    The good: fresh seafood, excellent service, nice atmosphere, very nice coconut martini. The bad: everything except the Cole slaw was way too salty. Taste wise nothing hit the mark. Nothing remarkable.

    Absolutely fabulous service by Jonelle. The food and ambiance were great and the key lime pie slice in honor of our anniversary was the icing on the cake! And--it was so nice how everyone mentioned our anniversary!
