Oysters were poor quality. There were many pieces of she’ll as if someone didn’t know how to open the shells of the oysters.

We really enjoyed the food here. Great fresh taste and excellent for sharing. We had a later reservation and unfortunately felt a little rushed as they brought out the first and second course at the same time. They have an excellent wine list as well, in a user friendly iPad format.

Everything was outstanding from Jason our server to the oysters, wedge salad, filet mignon, Mahi special and sides with them. We were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary and they made it special. Chocolate mousse was yummy. I loved the Four Aces Pinot Gris and my wife the Brut champagne. It is pricey but worth it.

Dave & June-- Thank you for the insightful review and recommendations. We are honored to have hosted your anniversary dinner. 46 years is an incredible accomplishment, and we were delighted to be a part of the celebration! Chef Dave leads a phenomenal culinary team that is executing a fantastic menu this season. They will all undoubtedly appreciate the complimentary remarks. Wishing you many more years of bliss! Happiest of new years to you both.

They catered our wedding in March of 2023 and now every time we come back to the island this is our first stop for dinner! Never missed and don’t sleep on the steak stir fry!
