The food was GREAT with a good variety of menu items. You also can’t beat the location which is right on the water and we also enjoyed a live band after our meal.

THIS PLACE IS CLOSED! We booked a reservation on Open Table to eat here while in town one evening. Google said it was open and when we arrived it was closed for remodel. Th hotel staff it had been closed for months. They need to update their hours and show it’s temporarily closed. We told the front the desk and were told they would mention it to management but they likely would not do anything about it.

Not able to dine. Showed up for reservation time but restaurant is currently closed even though we were able to make a reservation with open table. In addition there website is deceiving saying that they are currently open and not specifically saying the cove is closed. The received damage during November hurricane. Very disappointed. I called the restaurant to tell them that they should close reservations on open table band they replied that they are sure they did.

Food was okay. I was expecting more since it was shepherds if you sit outside be careful of the birds they will try to take your food. Maybe I'll try dinner maybe the food will be better
