    Early Valentine dinner for us. Big fans of Desi Vega on the south shore and the Mandeville location does not disappoint. Turtle soup, Ribeye and Creme Brulet for me and Filet, Lyonnaise potatoes and Cheesecake for her. Everything especially the steaks were cooked perfectly. Seth our waiter did a great job and we will be back soon.

    The yellowfin tuna tartare, firecracker tuna tacos, and BBQ shrimp were very fresh and delicious. The complimentary biscuits were served right out the oven and cooked to perfection. I was blown away at how good the Golden Beet salad was, and it was perfect paired with the Scalibut and Parmesan crusted sheepshead. I was pleasantly surprised with the entree fish portion sizes and to top it off, our waiter, Cardale, was phenomenal!

    As an early Valentine’s Day dinner with our mom, my husband and I enjoyed every moment of our dining experience. Both food and service were excellent. Every accommodation was met with grace and the blueberry/banana cheesecake to end the evening was amazing. Will be back!
