    Service was excellent as usual and the food was great. It was a little chilly and noisy with the fans blowing high on the patio in the shade.

    Well it was as expected - you get what you pay for - namely quality but it will cost you (like I've never paid more for a meal for four, but when you see the boats parked there you know why!) We treated our hosts and they felt well and truly blessed, I was thrilled we were expected, our reservation confirmed, a sea view, a lovely hostess and altogether it was a lovely experience, but one we cannot repeat too often. I was a little surprised you have to pay for a second soda and it was not a free refill.

    First the good parts, our waiter, Jim, was attentive and very friendly, making sure that we were taken cared of. The drinks were good. We went to the restaurant for Sunday brunch. Double Mimosas for $9 and Bloody Marys for $6, which were priced well. We ordered a premium dirty martini which were $14 although you have to pay blue cheese olives for $.50. For a premium dirty martini one would expect the blue cheese olives to be included in the price since it’s included the brunch drink price. Food from the brunch selections were fairly good. We ordered shrimp & grits, seafood omelet, and sausage and potato frittata. However, the chicken penne pasta for $26 was a let down as the chicken was not fresh and tasted like packaged chicken from a food store’s refrigerated section. We could have skipped dessert but decided to try few selections, peanut butter pie, carrot cake, and chocolate bread pudding. Of the three, we ranked the peanut butter pie on top for its taste, although it was served frozen. None of the desserts tasted made fresh as advertised.

    Terrible food, not even a simple cheeseburger, fry calamari you need a magnifying glass to be able to see it. I ordered a french dip, the meat color was grey and the taste was awful. Manager a total amateur!!
