    The ultimate is "old Florida" restaurants... get a table under the banyan trees and go after dark... the white lights in the trees are great

    Everything is fantastic but I am partial to anything that involves Grouper! Make sure you see Chelsea, she is a rockstar!

    Farm salad, Kung Pao Avocado, Cheesy Grits, and Southern Squash Casserole was excellent. The steamer pot was good, but on the small side for 2 people.

    They recently remodeled the restaurant and upgraded the menu. Everything is fresh and tasty. The water views are impressive.

    Lovely al fresco dining amongst the trees. Great for a late lunch or early dinner in the shade.

    The best grouper Reuben. Try substituting cole slaw for the sauerkraut for a change of pace.

    Used to have one of the best dog-friendly outdoor areas around, now they do not allow dogs. Such a shame, we loved coming here with our pup.
