The waiting staff was excellent all around. Their pace was perfect, they very kind, respectful and welcoming. The food was nothing short of amazing. I had the royal red shrimp, escargot and then finished with blackened grouper. Every dish was presented with precision and every bite’s flavor reflected that. I’ll be coming back every time I am in town.
