I took my wife here for her birthday and she enjoyed everything! From the card on the table for her birthday, to every bite of food she ate. This was the best seafood experience the two of us has ever had, and we go to Florida all the time. They also placed us in the lounge with live music and a great street view. We are so glad this place is not too far from Omaha, so we will be back soon.
