    Although the food was good I felt it was over priced. 2 entrees, 1 soup, 1 salad & 2 cocktails with tip was $200. The white cloth table top did not match the environment. Very loud, very casual, food was served super quick; we felt we were being rushed out. Disappointing.

    Given it’s high rank (#3 in Sarasota) and boasting “Best Seafood in Sararsota for 9 years!” We had high expectations. I was very impressed with the hostess and we were accommodated quickly despite being very early. The food was slightly above average. Don’t get me wrong, everything we ate was very good, but nothing blew us away. The drinks were average at best. Our server was definitely the weak link. He did not check on us during our meal, ask if we would like a 2nd cocktail or offer to refill our water. He did not tell us what fresh fish was available or offer any suggestions. He spent a great deal of time at the host stand, presumably waiting for the table of 6 that eventually was seated next to us. But they sat down as we were leaving, so he had ample opportunities to check on us.

    The service was spectacular. The weather was amazing. Sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful lunch. The grouper tacos were over the top! We also had Caesar salad, crabcake, and lobster bisque. The bisque was outstanding. Service was great. Loved our server.
