The four of us enjoyed our experience. We had the redfish. Fried Shrimp and the sea Bass special and the stuffed Flounder special. Two were excellent. The Fried Shrimp were delicious but very small! The Flounder Special was the dish that was the huge disappointment! He could not eat it. I told the waiter and he apologized, talked to management and took it completely off the bill! This was a wonderful surprise and the mark of an excellent restaurant! We are regular patrons and will continue to be! Thanks!
