    Our waitress Sherry was fabulous. The food was excellent. The noise level was pretty high as we were in close proximity to the rowdy bar. No worries though, we had an excellent evening.

    Overall meh. Very disappointed. This is the first time we’ve been to this restaurant in several years. We had a positive recollection when previously dining here. Although we had reservations we need to wait a few minutes for a table to clear. Seemed a little busy and very noisy. We ordered 2 different grouper dishes. Both were over cooked and salty. It was like they were kept under a heat lamp. Nothing special about the vegetables…tasted like they were not fresh but frozen prepackaged store bought items. Espresso though a nice size cup was weak.
