    We had a great meal with a party of 9. It was a slow roll getting started (having our order taken) but the kitchen was fast and the food was delicious.

    Food was excellent and so was our server Sam. It wasn’t busy and sitting outside under the shade of the trees was awesome.

    First time back since remodel, excellent improvement. Menu and foods good+ as before. Server was unimpressive, lacked any interest in individual attention. Took orders, answered question knowledgeably, but nothing more. Too bad, she lessened the experience. Return? Not going to rush back.

    Taylor was an excellent bartender. My salad and dressing were excellent. I had the early bird flounder dinner. The squash mixed vegetables and potato were delicios. Stuffed flounder was just OK. Taylor was the highlight of the evening. She was friendly and easy-going and aimed to please. I will try filet next time.

    Meal was tasty but not special. Sides were the best part. With so many choices on the island, I would not go there again.
