    We usually love everything about this restaurant but the food was really off tonight. My wasabi crusted tuna had more gristle than I have ever experienced in my life. My father ordered jambalya, which he normally loves, but was very blah. The grouper was only ok tonight. We left feeling disappointed.

    This is the first time that we received only fair service. We had reservations, but the hostess said there was not a table for us and tried to seat us elsewhere. The manager gave us a “canned response” instead of attempting to make it right. That set the mood for the entire evening that should have been special. The server was only fair. We needed to keep asking for refills, plus there seemed to be a communication barrier. I will not have a holiday meal there again.

    Thanksgiving meal was tasty, especially the turkey, stuffing and beans. Four vegetables were a lot. Hubby was delighted with his cooked to order steak. He also raved about the peanut butter pie.
