Overall it was a nice night out. It was very quiet - almost too quiet but service was good. They just updated their menu. The devil eggs were good but salty (it wasn’t the caviar it was devil egg filling itself). My husband had the snapper and like the sauce. I had the grouper it was good but the mustard was over powering so once I worked through that it was great.

Service was good. Cocktails and appetizers were good. The meal was OK. Had the grouper but it did not have any flavor. My daughter had the salmon, it was just OK.
