   Overall a good experience. The only thing that was extremely disappointing was my dessert. I ordered the lemon pound cake. It came grilled which would have been on except it was burnt which made the poundcake hard and very difficult to eat, and all you tasted was burnt char. Everyone else said their desserts were good so I was very disappointed

   A bit disappointed in the food tonight. Husband had a filet that was just ok and my salmon tasted like it came from Costco. My old fashioned was made with rye instead of bourbon. The wedge salad was great but my party's appetizers were mediocre.

   Restaurant is located on the water with beautiful sunset views. Our food and service were excellent.

   Went for the Sunday Brunch. The selection was very good. The problem is that they are still not dialed in on the quality of the selections. They are trying to serve Eggs Benedict and the poached eggs are cool and hard cooked; non even close to proper. The other service trays needed to be set to a much warmer setting to keep the food piping hot. The Carving Station although nice, had an inadequate heat lamp so the meats were lukewarm. The service overall was great. I am hoping that this is just growing pains as they are new to Sunday Brunch. I don't mind the $35 and automatic 20% added gratuity if everything was great. In this case, not worth it for the 4 of us. Going again is TBD.

   I ordered the Cesar salad as and the lobster pasta. The salad was disappointing. It has little to no dressing and the grilled Romaine lettuce gave it a bitter taste. The lobster pasta definitely could have used seasoning. And the sauce was like water. It didn't stick to the pasta because of how watery it was. My husband ordered the grouper which was very tasty.
