    Amazing evening at he Grotto San Luis! We started off with some super cold martinis that were perfectly bruised. The house salad is always delicious. We love the tangy house dressing. I ordered the shrimp and crab capelini and my husband ordered the crab cake. Both were spectacular!! So tasty and perfectly seasoned. As usual, the service was wonderful. Oscar was very attentive and knowledgeable without hovering or making us feel rushed. Grotto is ALWAYS one of our favorite meals on the island. We can’t wait to go back!
