New Year’s Eve - fun place and great location. Given the set menu and busy night food was great, reasonable wine selection. Great band and entertainment and ended the night with a great view to watch the fireworks.

Cena del 31/12/2024 gustosa ma servizio scadente e intrattenimento musicale insopportabile per il volume assordante e ininterrotto,oltre che di scarso valore

We went here for the NYE dinner experience and it was fantastic. The food exceeded my expectations and the view of fireworks was perfect. Ambiance was classy and live music added an elevated atmosphere.

The food is fabulous as is the ambience. Being we were there for the first seating on New Year’s Eve, the waiter was so concerned with getting us out before the New Year’s prix fixe customers came in that the service felt rushed and we did not feel valued as customers. My suggestion is that if the server will be under that much pressure that the restaurant should cut off regular dining reservations earlier.

There was a limited menu the evening we went because of an upcoming event. Many of the fish dishes were covered in a sauce that was not necessary. Great location on Ocean Drive.

Very nice dinner, excellent service by Richard! Appetizer was a beet and goat cheese salad … wait for it … the goat cheese was fried. Holy smokes, wonderful. Main course: We had the twin lobster tails, which came with mashed potatoes and green beans, and the grouper which is now my favorite fish to eat. Expertly prepared. Would highly recommend. $150 with drinks so beat my budget for the evening :)
