The food was delicious but the service was a little lacking. They forgot to bring drinks, more than once, but hopefully this will improve. We’ll definitely give it another try.

Appetizer and seafood dish were fine. Ny strip Chimichurri was advertised as being “prime” and the steak was tough. Clearly not prime. Given the price, not surprising, but hate that they deceive about quality of steak you are supposed to receive. If they don’t want to offer prime, don’t advertise as such..

Amazing experience for a “local” restaurant. Off the path of A1A where we were surrounded by locals just going out for a meal. Staff was awesome and friendly. Food was on point and the drinks were crafted rather than just poured. Absolutely recommend and will go again when back in the area.
