    We were in Ft Lauderdale for lunch and wanted somewhere nice on the water. The table outside was great and private and the service and food were perfect. Highly recommend eating here.

    Excellent service. Nice variety on menu of primarily seafood dishes. Anything we had with a sauce was quite spicy so if you like spicy you'll love it if not ask to skip the sauces. I would rate cost a little on the mid to high range but overall a nice experience.

    Had a great time at brunch today. We had bottomless drinks and were never rushed. The food was great and our server was fantastic.

    Food was outstanding and the service was top notch. The only thing i would say bad but out of there control is if you eat outside beware it gets very buggy. They did give us little fly fans which did help keep them out of the food. 5/5 in my book.
