Excellent fresh Red Snapper. Large, tender chicken fried steak. Good wine selection. Attentive , friendly servers. Good coffee. Not impressed with the bread pudding….just a thick solid square of bread ( cake) with bananas foster sauce. I’ll try the Key Lime pie, next time. Also…interesting location…in a field…but it works! Dress code is more casual, than dressy. Will definitely be back.

It was our first time visiting, and it was amazing. We went to celebrate a birthday, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was amazing from the appetizer to the complimentary dessert for the birthday person. It was an wonderful experience that we will definitely do again, and have already started recommending it to friends and colleagues to go and enjoy a meal.
