Really enjoyed my herb crusted grouper. The veggies were cooked just right and the fish was fresh and very tasty. Generous portions and our waiter was helpful in pairing our entrees with good drinks.

The chefs meet with local fisherman every day to purvey their seafood, such as the peel and eat shrimp, served with either hot or cold cocktail sauce and lemon.

Ceviche is the best! Get the trio for sure. Mango/Strawberry Margaritas are awesome. Boiled shrimp was great. Service was just right.

Seared tuna was amazing - got about 8 oz! Blackened escolar also delicious - étouffée was sooo flavorful and had a little kick. Only item that didn't wow us was shrimp and crab penne pasta - was bland

The tuna steak is outstanding. Also grab a drink in the bar before your meal and enjoy smelling the wood burning oven.

Can't go wrong here. Fresh and delicious. Do reserve a table though - too many people hovering over us at the bar.

Bacon wrapped scallops were great, only wish there were more. Grilled shrimp were flavorful. Coast lime pie for dessert.
