Outstanding meal, great atmosphere, very friendly and courteous staff.
Went for dinner, was able to get a reservation the same day, but not much available as most time slots were already booked.
Great inside atmosphere, nice ambiance not overwhelming, but definitely a nicer look and feel than a lot of the beach style establishments. Evening casual dress was perfect.
Sat at the bar, and was immediately made to feel at home by the bartender Dave, good casual conversation mixed with a thorough knowledge of all the items and specials on the menu. Offered good info on the different types of fish, and the various toppings that were available.
Ordered a bowl of Conch chowder to share as a starter, good thing because there is more than enough for two. Dave was great in that he had the kitchen split the chowder, and it was the perfect start to a great meal. They also provide fresh bread with an herbed olive oil dip, very tasty!
We ordered a couple of the fresh fish options, Mutton fish and Hogfish with two different toppings. For the Mutton fish, we chose the Adriatic topping which was olive oil and herbs, and while very good, the Mutton fish was a bit soft for our liking, and the topping could have used a touch more fresh herbs and a little salt. For the Hogfish, we chose the Pontchartrain topping, which started with a blackened fish, topped with crawfish in a creole cream…simply amazing flavor…spicy but not overwhelming, and extremely flavorful. Each dish came with a side of coconut rice and fresh green beans, which like the fish, were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Needless to say, we loved our meals!
Had great conversation with a couple fellow diners who are locals, verified this is the place people come for outstanding food and friendly service.
Cost is a bit higher than average, we spent a bit over $50 per person, not including any drinks (which btw they have a very good wine selection) but very reasonable for the high quality food and service.
Too full for desert, but eyed the carrot cake as one was carried by…looked amazing, and plenty for two or 3 to share.
Would I go there again…absolutely!
Would I recommend…absolutely!
