    Here for Thursday ladies night! Such a good atmosphere, views, super yummy apps, free wine  

    Outdoor area is perfect for hanging with your girls or a date night! Indoor is a little more quiet and better for dinner. Love this place and will be back!

    Came here for my mom's birthday back in August and I must say, I really like it here. The interior of the restaurant is so open from the floor ceiling windows that show you a great view of the water deck outside.
    The service was pretty good, not bad. I didn't like how we were being slightly rushed though but the food makes up for that. The honey buttered bread is so warm and soft, it just melts in your mouth. I love a good starter bread.
    For my entrée, I ordered the Octopus which came with potatoes and kale. I really liked it EXCEPT, it was very oily from the sauce and I felt with each bite I was just eating oil so they might want to tone that down.
    My mom got a complimentary chocolate mousse cake which was so decadent and rich, I really enjoyed sharing that with her. I'd come back and order a different entree though but everything else was great.

    Great ambiance, relaxing seating options: inside large dining area or outside along the waterfront. Prompt seating and attentive service. Large portions, plated nicely.

    Overall, however, food tasted bland. Nothing memorable.

    We came here for dinner recently and were pleasantly surprised on how good the food was! I had the crab encrusted grouper fish with roasted fingerling potatoes and vegetables. The sauce it was in was very rich and flavorful and tasted wonderful. It was a very satisfying meal. The other dish was shrimp with penne pasta in a light cream sauce. This dish was also cooked perfectly and very flavorful. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was divine! One of the best chocolate mousse's I ever had!  I finish the whole thing! The other dessert we had was a mango cheesecake which was also absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch and we will definitely be coming back here to explore other options on the menu.

    I ALWAYS start with the Bimini Bread, which is an absolute must-have! The best bread consisting of buttery, sweet-honey goodness. OMG... Okay phew...the appetizers are good too and the food is even better. It doesn't matter what you order, the food is good.

    I normally go here for the happy hour which is very good and very reasonably priced. I found my new favorite drink here called Sun Kissed. It's on their happy hour drink menu and is so damn good. I stumbled upon it because I was being nosey and asked what the person next to me was drinking and ever since then, it's my jam. It tastes great and is easy to drink...almost too easy. Gets the job done only after two rounds :).

    I love eating outside on the water which is an amazing feeling when the weather is nice or having drinks at the outside tiki bar or inside bar. This place has a good mix of people of all ages. It's lady's night on Thursday's and this place gets packed but not in a bad way. It makes it more interesting and fun.

    The service is great even when the bar staff is busy. Nice friendly staff every time I've gone. Valet parking is available or you can park in the parking lot.

    I have only good things to say about this place.
