    We had an amazing time! The food was great. We started with the bang bang shrimp, it had a hint of curry which was perfectly paired with their homemade slaw. Then we shared the Paella which was so delicious 🤤 It was my best friends birthday so the gave us a free Key Lime Pie (Award Winning Key Lime Pie) the crust was perfect. Overall the service and ambiance made a perfect birthday celebration 🥳 10/10

    Ate outside on a noisy Sunday early evening - spring break just started, but the food and service were amazing. Had the lobster tails which really were so so good. My waitress was also lovely!
