Had dinner with associates in the early evening. You probably should have reservations for this place. The wait for a table was 1.5 hours without a reservation or we could sit outside. So, we sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Ha Ha. In Florida in July you don't enjoy the weather, it enjoys you. They had some kind of outside air cooler, but all it seemed to do was blow swamp air across the table. If you go here in the summer, wait for the air conditioned table.

Picture of DinnerFortunately, the meal could make you forget the weather. I had the "School of Fish", which was a sampler of scallops, tuna (rare), salmon, and a grouper cake. The ideal selection for someone who can't make up their mind. All were perfect. My companions had steak, and there was very little talking during the meal.

The place sits on a waterway with a dock out back, and you walk by the grill when you go to your table (big and hot!). You get a great view of the food as it is being prepared, and they have a lot of fish and beef on display including a fresh fish off the boat. There were lobster tails in there as big as my head!

Highly recommended by all the locals we talked to, and well deserving of the recommendation!
