Ely’s surpassed my expectations and everything was Great. First Time here and didn’t really know what to order so I just went with the many reviews and they were correct. The Filet and Redfish were Excellent. Tried to get Waitress Amanda but she wasn’t in. Was assigned Makenna and she was great and a Pleasure to deal with. Have been going to Chapleys for Years but I think I have Found My New Spot. I think the Family Competition is Heating Up. Just hope this Restaurant is Consistent. Nice of the Owner to stop by our table and see how everything was going during our Anniversary Dinner. It’s an Expensive Restaurant but it was Worth It Tonight. I guess these days you really do have to Pay to get The Best!!!
