    This was the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. Incredibly rude, mean, and threatening staff. Ruined what was supposed to be a special night with extended family. Do not go here.

    Beautiful views of the Gulf coast. Self parking is not close. Even with only five small groups seated in the dining room, it was very loud. The bread is good, but not gratis. The lobster bisque was good. The filet mignon (ordered medium rare) with trumpet mushrooms was not tender, but was well seasoned. Had to ask for a steak knife. The trumpet mushrooms did not taste good. It would have been better with shitake or button mushrooms. Side of asparagus was seasoned nicely and tender. The filet should have been better. What a disappointment.
