Went here for an anniversary dinner. Not a fish person in any sense but the things we do for loved ones...
The old saying is you get what you pay for. Here you pay for excellence and it does nothing short of delivering.
Staff here is awesome. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable about the menu, food textures, and where things are sourced from.
Really great atmosphere and I will be returning just for the bar area. There is an oyster bar right as you walk in that is always got people looking at it. Not overly loud and the kitchen opens into the serving area so the smells are wonderful.
Not being a fish person I asked for suggestions from the waiter. He suggested a pan seared grouper with lemon. Honestly, if I could cook it and it taste like that I would be eating fish every week. Had hush puppies and brussels as well. Both delicious. Next time I may ask for a touch of honey or syrup for them. Finished the meal off with a blueberry sorbet that was excellent.
All in all, I would go back for a special occasion.
I will be returning numerous times.
