    Fantastic experience with a great waiter! The food was amazing as usual. We ordered a dozen premium oyster and it was a great decision. We like the variation and they were all delicious. Definitely try if you go. I ordered the trigger fish, blackened with a lemon sauce. Huge piece and cooked perfectly. My husband had the tuna sandwich, medium rare. Fantastic! We ordered one crome brûlée to share - delicious! It was our anniversary and they made it special - seating with a view, the waiter wished us happy anniversary, and they gave us our dessert in the house! Made it special from start to finish. Don’t miss trying this restaurant. You won’t regret it.

    My Wife had the Sea Bass which was cooked perfectly. Perhaps the hoisin sauce could be less to not overwhelm the wonderful flavor and texture of the sea bass. I had the special grouper topped with a crab cake. It was all a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. We definitely will return to this wonderful place.
