    In order to comply with the dress code on your website the member of our party changed from their attractive Bermuda shorts to long pants on a day when it would have been much more comfortable to wear the shorts. While we were eating several diners arrived in shorts. Following the meal my guests all pointed out that fact. In the future I will not request my guest to change their clothes to comply with a dress code that you don’t enforce. Long pants in FL is a stupid policy.

    This restaurant is in a beautiful setting overlooking a marina. We ate upstairs at the more formal restaurant. We both had the crab bisque, which was excellent. I had the seafood pasta. It is listed as a spicy dish, but I asked them to use a non spicy marinara sauce and the resulting dish was amazing. The fish, shrimp, scallops and mussels were fresh and delicious. My wife had roast duck and was very pleased. Desserts were ample and also delicious. Would highly recommend.

    The staff was extremely attentive abd the ambiance was great. The filet mignon was very good but not the best I've ever had. The wine sauce was acceptable but it had a slight skin on it indicating that it was prepared well in advance. The venue was spectacular and wi certainly return, but perhaps the sauces could be expanded (i.e., bernaise, peppercorn, etc.) and prepared to order.

    Nice venue. Food was OK. We were ripped off with the specials where they didn’t divulge the prices and we ended up paying $80 for a cod dish! It was ok but nothing special. So for two people, 1 bottle of wine, 1 starter and 2 mains (no dessert, cocktails or coffee) we paid $200. Too much! We won’t be returning.

    Started off with inspiring cocktails in the bar. Then seated at an intimate table for 2 with a view. It just got better from there. Efficient and knowledgeable waiter who recommended the swordfish with asparagus and scallop potatoes. WOW! The whole evening was excellent!

    Everything was wonderful with the exception of the timeliness of our reservation. Our reservation was for 7:30 but we weren’t seated u til after 8:00. The bartender did buy us a drink and the server did give us a free dessert which really helped us get over the inconvenience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious, service was outstanding and ambiance is wonderful.
