Large portions which was comparable to the cost of the meals. The service was very good although it took a littler longer to get refills of our drinks. The food was very good. Everyone in our party of 7 got something different and no one had any complains.

Food was excellent. Service was great. We requested to sit outside and it was very hot, that ice would melt in our drink in minutes. Waitress continually brought us glasses of ice to refresh our drink. She was great. There was loud music coming from the place Nextdoor, so it did take away from the dining experience.

A must go to restaurant when we come to Florida every winter. Food is served hot and seasoned perfectly. Sitting overlooking the marina, having a cocktail, appetizer, entree makes for a great evening.
