    We came to celebrate an anniversary and wanted a quiet table. The hostess was most pleasant and accommodating, taking us to several tables until we found the right one. It started the evening on a very positive note. The food was delicious and our server was very friendly. Great experience overall. Will be back in the future!

    Everything was as amazing as we remembered from the last time many years ago when we were there on a visit to Fort Lauderdale. I only wish we had gone during the day when we could have enjoyed the view. The Christmas decorations in the main room were magical. The staff was helpful and our server, Heather, was especially kind and efficient. The food was delicious and delivered promptly. No complains at all. We look forward to our next visit.

    Great lunch stop right on the beach. We sat outside on the upper deck and enjoyed the beach and ocean views. Food is great, scallops and grouper were both excellent. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are rather reasonable as compared to places of similar location and quality. We've been going there annually for years as we pass through and would not miss it. Look for the big red fish.

    Great Restaurant! Old school ambiance, fantastic food, wonderful service. A great place to celebrate a special occasion, or any occasion. Great Happy Hour menu and prices, upstairs bar is very nice. Complimentary valet service! Went at night so didn’t get to actually see the ocean view but I will go back to check it. Enjoy!

    We have been coming here for many years celebrating many special occasions.It is a beautiful location. I have lived in Florida since 1990 but also came here in the 1980’s while on vacation. The food quality is not the same. Especially with high end prices quality is expected.The atmosphere is spectacular but the nostalgia of it all keeps me coming back and trying it again, hoping the food gets better . We are in our late 50’s and I saw many elderly couples here probably coming back for the same reasons as we did for the old reputation this restaurant had in the 1980’s . Let’s hope it gets better in the new year!
