Start to finish we had the best experience!!!! Love the outdoor seating with the most amazing view of the sunset over the water. The filet tenderloin was so perfect, I cut it with a fork and it melted in my mouth. Parmesan fries are great dipped in ranch. Service was excellent-Lindsey was our server All the staff throughout the entire restaurant was so sweet and genuine. Oh! And the cheesecake is to die for. Make the reservation you won’t regret it. Prices are fair and comparable.
