   Beautiful Restaurant by the water, sat outside in the shade with a breeze blowing and fans going. The food was very, very good and I had a wonderful experience and we had an absolutely wonderful waitress. Will definitely come back and do their happy hour 3 to 6.

   The food was excellent! Chris, our server, was awesome. Quick with drinks and always making sure we had everything we needed. We sat outside by the lake and it was a pretty setting. Overall, we would highly recommend this place. We will be back for sure!

   The only comment I can say is that the food could’ve come out a little bit quicker and a little bit warmer but it’s completely understandable since it was very busy and Mother’s Day. We will definitely be back again. Everything else was great. The flavor of everything was phenomenal. My grouper was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. The meatball appetizer had a very nice spice to it and the ceviche was another great dish to start with.

   Meh. $55/ person for a buffet and had to sit outside. Food was okay at best. There were 7 of us and the added gratuity was eighty bucks...none of us were drinking. Just a few sodas and waters.

    We sat at the bar and it did take like 10-15 minutes to get served, but they seemed to be understaffed. Everyone working was extremely nice. When we sat at our table, we ordered mussels as an app. They lacked a lot of flavor and most of them were opened all the way, so we didn’t eat them. However, our entrees were delicious. I had a ribeye and my partner had the gnocchi. Cocktails were great, atmosphere was great, and service was good.
