Our server Milos was friendly and knowledgeable. The menu offered a variety of options from sushi, and seasonal seafood to steak. Craft cocktails and an extensive by the glass wine list. The tuna tartar was one of the best appetizers we have ever had. Nice size portion 2-4 people. The Okinawa spritzer was light and refreshing. We finished with a main course of surf and turf, and sword fish. Overall a great meal, charming ambiance and exceptional service. We will definitely plan another dinner while we are in town!

The bartenders were on point. Had it not been for them, our experience would have been terrible. The had our drinks made within 30 seconds of being requested.

Tough place to locate because there is very little signage. We were able to find it after driving around a bit. We found a nice parking spot in the rear of the hotel that it sits beside. Upon entering the area where the music stage is set up, we noticed a decent crowd with everyone sitting and enjoying the music. The bar is inside where everyone goes to get a drink. The service was good...a couple of bartenders ready to help, if needed. The crowd was mainly older adults....ages 40-65 would be my guess. The music was good....all the hits from the Eagles to Nirvana to James Taylor. As a first timer, it was kind of confusing where to order food. However, I did not notice food being served. I did notice a small restaurant set up in a small seperate building but there was no one eating in there. I guess the bartenders take the order and then deliver the food. Would I go back? Not sure...not much happening that would attract me Vibe: laid back....easy going Drink Price: very reasonable Parking: for me, it was great but I could see people having issues Dress: key west casual 4 stars

After we finished our meals, the staff was very quick in clearing the tables. The tables to watch the band were outside and is first come first serve. We came early since we were a large group. It's not a big space so most seats have great views of the band. The band was very good; they had a great saxophone player and the singer got the crowd engaged in some of the songs. Overall a very fun night and will definitely be back.

The staff was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was vibrant yet upscale. We started off with complementary bread with an oil (& something paste - I didn't catch the name) which was excellent. I ordered the Cernia Alla Pescatore ($52): grouper, clams, mussels, shrimp, garlic, white wine sauce, grape tomatoes served over spinach linguine. All entrées come with a house salad or you can do an upgrade to a Caesar. I chose the house salad that comes with balsamic vinaigrette. Very well put together, light and refreshing. The Cernia Alla Pescatore was very flavorful and everything was cook to perfection. For desert, I had the Profiteroles ($17): cream puff filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot chocolate fudge. What a great way to end a fantastic meal!!! Overall, yes, this was a splurge (expensive) meal but so well worth it!! Highly recommend for a special occasion!

The side were ok but I I did not eat them and planed on taking them home and did not get them so that sucks. Was hopefully going to eat the with the ribs the next day. Was very sad when. I got home and they were not in my box. We had fried green tomatoes. Very yummy. Not like my homemade ones but good. The corn breed was tasty. We ordered one order but I think he rang up two and brought out two but we not wanted one. They did screw up dinner. There were 2 of the same fish ordered cooked the same way. When it came out one looked not good and one looked good. One was not cooked properly and the other was ok. I will share pictures. We were here to celebrate a b and that was a nice experience. They also did remove the bad fish off the bill. So that was a plus. Over all this has good potential but needs a-lot of Work. And it was. So loud. It was hard to talk. Our server was super nice and tried to take care and of us. I would try this place again but they definitely need to work out some kinks. I heard it was a new place.

They do not post their drink menu online and was delighted to see such an extensive list. Our waitress said it changes quite a bit which is why they don't post it. We thought prices were in line with other restaurants on the island. We started with a caesar salad and arancini, both were good and portions were reasonable and what we expected. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto for an entree and the fish was cooked perfectly. Scallops can be tricky, but these were excellent. Risotto was creamy and delicious. Our friends raved about their salmon, also cooked perfectly. Large portion of fish as well. I wish we had time for dessert, but we will be back!!
