I have been here for dinner on several occasions, and only once have I had good service. After last night of getting served my drinks, that was the last time I saw my waitress until I was ready to leave. Couldn’t get a second glass of anything to drink with my meal.

My husband and I came here for a date and I was blown away by the unbelievably delicious food and service! The shrimp and soup were so filling, the portion sizes were big, and it was some of the best food I've had in awhile. I can't wait to come back :

Great lunch choice when in DI! Grouper bites were excellent! Staff very friendly and good atmosphere.
