I'll start by saying that, unless it's a special occasion, we always eat at the bar. We ate here on the 1st night of our 3 night stay and then, again, the last night. The 1st night, we enjoyed the seafood tower and grouper fingers,...Read More

The fish is as fresh as it gets, and the chef puts his/her own spin on the dish that makes it memorable. Highly recommend.
