Service was pretty good, our server was very friendly and helpful, but they seemed to be pretty busy so he didn't come around too much (which we also appreciated, as it was just enough space and attention). Food was better than I expected! All of the dishes were well-cooked and flavorful, the drinks (mango margarita) were a bit strong but loved, and nothing was too salty or too bland. We started with a dozen oysters which were very fresh and slightly chewy (different from northern oysters that I usually have), then had the cod, crab cakes, and snapper, all with well-paired sauces and great sides (the snapper was slightly overcooked). Everyone got complimentary sunset shots as the sun was dipping towards the horizon, and we finished off with a giant slice of key lime pie (that we couldn't quite fit in so we took back because it was too good to waste). Overall good experience and will definitely be back to try more!

I hate to rate them this low. However, my grouper was cool, not lukewarm, but cool. The Grouper was…read morerather dry, and that was frustrating. I tasted more filling than crab in my small crabcake. The veggies were cool. However, the sauce was rather tasty. My wife had a similar experience. I also ordered the Key Lime. If you've seen many of my hundreds of reviews, I love me some Key Lime. Look, I became hungry just thinking about a slice. Regrettably, this Key Lime was disappointing in taste. The rather larger crust could've been outstanding, but alas, it too was plain. My daughter enjoyed her chicken salad but didn't like the salty fries. My mother-in-law didn't believe her Snapper meal was Snapper. She said it was moist. Yet, she said it was okay. Disclaimer: The Server was great, but she was taking care of a group of 14 people. The people who came out to help her deliver the food were ok. We asked several times whether the "Catch of the Day" was the Flounder. We were repeatedly told, "No." It was. Consequently, those who ordered it also had cooler food. I believe those issues contributed to the food temperature. This place came highly recommended. In short, I wasn't pleased with paying $164 for three mediocre meals. I encourage you to try them out. I plan on taking my wife back there on August 27 to give them another chance. I'm certain it'll be much better.

Although I should mention that there was only 6 other customers there as the same time as us. Orders were taken with 4 of us ordering the Wedge! After several minutes we were notified that they had no lettuce and might we order something else. Oh but one of the workers had just gone to Publix and picked up some heads of lettuce. So we ate back on for our Wedge salad, that is for three of us as the fourth arrived maybe 20 minutes later. Now for some fun. It took four keys for two couples to finally get our bill right. Not sure we should laugh or get frustrated. I guess a little of both. Then to check out was another time waster!! To us, Training - Communication would go a long way. I'm sure we will be back as the food and SERVICE are usually a lot better.

Julie and her band are AMAZING! I have been following them like a groupy for a number of years now…read moreand the music and the vibes just keep getting better. If you like music that doesn't fit neatly in a category or a box then you have got to come to one of their gigs. It's blues, it's rock, it's folk , it's art. And Julie's voice is something like Janice Joplin meets Etta James meets Nina Simone. Think sexy, deep, earthy with a bit of gravel....and a few high points to send chills down your spine. And, not only does Julie write all of her own music and lyrics, she knows how to pick the best musicians in the area to bring her music to life. In particular, Dave Echenberger is an amazing guitarist in his own right and brings all his talent to the the table at their gigs. Well, and Frank on the drums with have you on your feet.....Graham on base will definitely have you wondering if you've ever heard a guitar provide such seemless and unique rhythm. You want REAL live music...instead of another cover band?.... this is it!

Their lounge area/seating is spacious and very nice, as are the bar and the drink options. Their VIP program is priced just about exactly right for the level of value provided, and I'm considering joining this year. As of 2023 I've visited 70 cigar bars or stores in 15 states and 11 countries, and this one is among the top 15. The only thing keeping it out of the top 10 is the limited size of (and therefore the selection within) their humidor. I like to smoke a different cigar every time I go out, but this can be difficult here as they have fewer unique sticks here than I have at home. However, all things considered, if you're looking for a place to relax and smoke one (rather than a place that you can go to stock your home humidor), this is an excellent choice.

I think that says it all. Our guests absolutely raved about Phase 5. They are true professionals and so incredibly talented. Their versatility is amazing and they have a huge list of songs they can play. They played for our cocktail hour and then 3 hours straight (!!!) during the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire time, they read the crowd so well, and for the end of the night Josh did a fantastic job DJing based on the musical genres I requested. They also went above and beyond what we expected and saved us from a wedding disaster. We had a steel drummer booked to play during our ceremony. When he didn't show up until 5 minutes before our ceremony was starting, Phase 5 jumped right in and handled the music for when guests were arriving and during the ceremony. As for me? I was already a huge fan, having seen them perform around Tampa for years. For that reason, I chose my wedding date based on when Phase 5 was available and I booked them within a week of getting engaged. They traveled all the way to the Keys for our wedding, too. If you want a band at your wedding, this is who you need to hire. Be sure to act fast because they are in high demand -- they were doing 4 weddings the weekend of our wedding!

I think the ultimate compliment to them came when our reception was crashed by people wanting to see what kind of amazing party was going on! :) Even better, my husband and father-in-law are both finicky musicians themselves, and they wholeheartedly approved of Phase 5. Josh was so friendly and easy to contact for setting up all the details. Highly, highly recommended!!
