Service was outstanding. Dean was a fantastic and personable server. We sat in the library for dinner which was just lovely after having a happy hour cocktail at the inside bar. Highly recommend the chicken parm. It can feed up to four people. The spicy Ala Vodka Pachetti was also delicious and pasta homemade. 10/10 experience.

Our server(wish I remembered her name) was excellent. So much so that we actually spent some time talking about how attentive, informative, not overbearing, and thoughtful she was. The food was excellent, we each had something different burger, omelette, chicken sandwich, mahi sandwich. We shared the ridiculously tasty Bimini bread. Very accommodating when it came to tweaking meals and drinks to our liking. This was my best visit yet!
