The food and service were fantastic, just like we’re accustomed to in Dallas. Caesar salad for me and lobster bisque to start for my wife and daughter - I had a sip, delicious and rich! \n\nMy wife loves their lobster deviled eggs, so after the soup that was her entree, because dessert. 😂\n\nI had the Filet Duo - two medium rare filet medallions (easily 8 oz) topped with jumbo lump crab on one and a blackened gulf shrimp on the other- both accompanied by a different sauce. Cooked to perfection and well seasoned as a big chunk of beef should be - delicious and a LOT of food. The girls shared a crème brûlée for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service is impeccable and a team effort. We had a 6 pm reservation.
