    Another great dining experience at the Flash! Sesame tuna appetizers, scallop, red snapper and swordfish entrees, apple crumble cake and carrot cake were all perfectly prepared and delicious! Our server and the ambiance were also great. Definitely our go to for higher end dining on the islands. We highly recommend it.

    Nice atmosphere. Server was unfriendly. Corn chowder was good. Caesar salad was fair. Garden salad was a pile of mixed greens with very little other toppings. The creamy herb dressing was more like a thick condiment that would be spread on a sandwich and it was too thick to be a decent salad dressing. Overall we were disappointed. Maybe salads are not the best thing to order.
