    I ordered a medium well steak, was very well done and very chewy. Potatoes were very thick and starchy...hard to swallow.

    What can I say but the staff from top to bottom are the best around. Can't say enough about how the respond to your needs and anticipate them. One of the main reasons we keep going back.....the food's not bad either.

    Heather took great care of us while we celebrated our anniversary! We sat on the patio overlooking the golf course while the evening sun shined down on our shoulders. I had coconut shrimp and my husband had the key West snapper. Both were very delicious! This is our favorite restaurant.

    We were looking for a special treat for our anniversary and we found it! The service was friendly and professional. Despite the weather the scenery was very pretty. The food was outstanding! Both of us had the Key West Snapper. It is a bit newer to the menu, and we hope it stays! It was grilled beautifully. The saffron risotto was moist but still "toothsome". The Key West cream with shrimp and crab meat was wonderful. The Ceaser salads were perfectly dressed and suprisingly large. The table bread is a wonderful walnut/cranberry loaf. I loved it but my wife can't have nuts. When we spoke to our server, she quickly brought a basket of fresh dinner rolls.

    Service was excellent. The soup, salad and appetizer were very good. Our meals not the best. My boyfriends and I both got the ribs. Mine was very dry and my boyfriends were veryyyy burnt. They did try to make it right by taking his meal off the bill and offering another rack of ribs.
