We were seated after 10 minutes or so, but we finished our drinks and left to go eat somewhere else. The noise level was so high, the lighting so bright, we felt like we were in a cafeteria. The food may be good, but the ambiance was absolutely awful.

We ordered drinks and the crab toast appetizer. It took more than five minutes to get our drinks, which was no big deal, but a little surprising as the restaurant was not busy. When we were almost done with our drinks, our server stopped by to see if we were ready to order dinner. We said we would wait to order when our appetizer arrived. The server forgot about the appetizer. The appetizer arrived and it was unremarkable, crab salad on toast, served with a dish with a large chip on the rim of the dish. Another surprise to see food served on damaged dish ware. The crab salad did not have much flavor. For entrees, we ordered the seared tuna with coconut rice and the fried grouper. The rice and tuna was ok. Not very favorable. The group was overcooked and tough, and served on another dish with a large chip. Chipped dish ware is not very sanitary. Overall, a big disappointment for $170. Doubt we will be back. Great location and beautiful to sit outside to enjoy the weather and scenery. The food just wasn’t good and certainly not worth the price. There are plenty of better restaurants in the area. We hope they can turn things around.

Great service. Outdoor seating was so pleasant…view of the water and marina the perfect dining experience. read more Great service. Outdoor seating was so pleasant…view of the water and marina the perfect dining experience.
