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.

Besides the awesome food snd ambiance, our server Marina was the best. She was the most accommodating server I have had in quite awhile. Her attention to detail ensured our night out was perfect. I highly recommend sitting at her table!

Upon entering we noticed it was noisy. No ambience. Server took a long time coming to our table with menus and to take our drink order. She was pleasant, but again it took a long time for drinks to arrive. Presentation was excellent and the food was very good. My margarita was watery, I would never order another. I'll stick with beer, hard to mess that up. Dessert was wonderful-Bread Pudding.
Steak was delish, white asparagus was not cooked enough, potatoes were bland and dry. Halibut dish was a combo I have not experienced before, I enjoyed it completely. The blend of spices with the vegetables were perfect, not too spicy. Lobster fritters were a pleasant addition to the dish.
Nice causal setting.
