    Going here is such a treat! This was our third visit. The restaurant is beautiful and you cannot beat the view! The staff was friendly and very attentive. We went for Thanksgiving dinner.

    Server did not seem interested in being friendly except when blue angels flew by or when we ready to pay check. Parts of my meal (tortellini) were warm to cold while fish was warm. Seemed like it sat for a bit. Wife’s crab cake seemed mushy but that may just be the style.

    We sat outside and watched the sunset! It was gorgeous. Jamie was our waitress and she was delightful. We ordered the wedge salad, fried green tomatoes, oysters , and stuffed jalapeños. There was enough to share, and it was all great. I would go back and recommend this place to others.
