    Heather took great care of us while we celebrated our anniversary! We sat on the patio overlooking the golf course while the evening sun shined down on our shoulders. I had coconut shrimp and my husband had the key West snapper. Both were very delicious! This is our favorite restaurant.

    We were looking for a special treat for our anniversary and we found it! The service was friendly and professional. Despite the weather the scenery was very pretty. The food was outstanding! Both of us had the Key West Snapper. It is a bit newer to the menu, and we hope it stays! It was grilled beautifully. The saffron risotto was moist but still "toothsome". The Key West cream with shrimp and crab meat was wonderful. The Ceaser salads were perfectly dressed and suprisingly large. The table bread is a wonderful walnut/cranberry loaf. I loved it but my wife can't have nuts. When we spoke to our server, she quickly brought a basket of fresh dinner rolls.

    Service was excellent. The soup, salad and appetizer were very good. Our meals not the best. My boyfriends and I both got the ribs. Mine was very dry and my boyfriends were veryyyy burnt. They did try to make it right by taking his meal off the bill and offering another rack of ribs.

    Whitney and the staff were more than accommodating to our Father Daughter dance. Truly made my niece feel like a princess. Also by far the BEST LOBSTER BISQUE IVE EVER HAD!!!

    Great food and service. The biggest baked potatoes I have ever seen! If you’re in, near, or passing through Defiance, this place is worth the stop! We live an hour away and we will make the trip again.
