Our waiter suggested the Grouper special of the night, & holy cow. Pesto-based seasonal grilled veggies , seared scallops , & glazed grouper over a bed of seasoned (to perfection) rice ! Agh! Delicious!

First time, had a burger and a flatbread . Burger was good, fries were over cooked. Pizza was different, looked like they just threw a piece of dough down and topped it with cheese . No employees smiled
