    Misty did a fantastic job taking care of us! She is a wonderful server, knows that we drink iced tea with lemon and simple syrup along with the bread and butter to start. Our meals were delicious. The Ahi tuna and lemon Dijon chicken were prepared perfectly. We also loved the key lime pie. Wish it was on the permanent menu.

    Since it was Mother’s Day, they did not have any of their normal lounge food. In turn causing the customer to have to pay more due to only menu available was outrageously priced. Using the holiday as an excuse not to have the normal lounge menu available is not right considering it was a family day and kids don’t want the fancy menu. The whole fact we went there was because they usually have kid friendly foods as well as adult foods so everyone is happy.
