Winning many awards along the way for items like 'Butter Poached Florida lobster' and our signature dish 'Shrimp & Grits', he decided to give back much of what he has learned and create a largely seafood menu with flavors ranging from Cajun/Creole to the far East of Asia. An eclectic gathering of the finest ways to enjoy what we are blessed to have on our very own doorstep. You can find on our menu or Special's board local items like Florida Lobster, many varieties of local Seafood. Join us for a feast of seafood paired with a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere.

Food was wonderful. For the average person the price was a little high, but that is my opinion based n one’s economic level. If $$ is not a consideration, I would recommend this place. I had no problem with the $$ but one should know the truth before going. Best meal have had in Florida in a long time and I have been living here full-time for the past 14 years.

It is located in a great little area just off of Duval and away from the crowds. Our server was excellent and attentive to our needs. One of us split a meal and he made the effort to split it beforehand. All our meals were excellent, even the salads, but if I had to choose a favorite, the Parmesan crusted Mahi was it. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted that we came across this restaurant and would recommend it.

This used to be my favorite place in Key West (Square One), so my expectations where accordingly high. The food was OK but the flair is gone and service staff is foreign to the hospitality sector.

Food was amazing but our server and the host seemed like they were under the influence of something. There was a large prescription bottle of pills on the shelf next to the host booth. Then a waiter ran out of the restaurant and the host chased after him leaving the host stand unattended. Our waiter barely spoke and seemed like we were bothering him. However the food was very good.

The food was horrible the Restraunt was very un keep. Table was full of scratches. Lights out overtop our table. And through out the Restraunt. Staff was arguing in the dinning room. Very very disappointed in the quality of the food for the high cost of the meals. Not what I expected for a Restraunt that’s charging the prices they are.

Food and service was good, however, the steak was sent back twice with first delivery overcooked, and even the third time was undercooked but we kept. Other than that, I’d recommend this restaurant.
