    Our family couldn't have loved this more, view was amazing and our food was great. A little on the spicier side to note but we lived it. Services was great but cannot beat the view at sunset.

    We were quiet quickly and had a great table by the window to see the water view which was fabulous since we were celebrating our anniversary, food was nice but a little too spicy for my liking, corn bread was yummy too. Server was good but could have been a little more attentive. Nice place to visit
