    My second time dining here. Overall great experience for our Anniversary dinner. The service was great, food was great (highly recommend the baked potato's as a side, atmosphere was gorgeous located right by the water overseeing nice boats and yachts. Props to the floor manager in which I believe his name was Cameron, (apologies if I got that wrong). Very nice gentleman, highly recommend anyone to try out this restaurant. If you're in for drinks, try the "Hurrica Cocktail." Will certainly be back again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Hurrica cocktail 5/5 • West Point swizzle 4.5/5 • short rib 4/5 (personal opinion, very good still) • baked potato 5/5 • New York strip 5/5 • clam chowder 5/5
