This place is a must. The selection was amazing, the drinks were excellent, the dessert was extremely well prepared. We went for our anniversary dime and had a fantastic, chill, yet elevated experience. Would highly recommend.

This is a foodies seafood restaurant. Innovative, southern inspired seafood in a relaxed converted house with a patio courtyard complete with plants, overhanging string lights, and lots of atmosphere. The inside of the building is intimately close quartered, which makes it easy for both staff and patrons to deliver and receive great service. The Minorcan seafood chowder was perfection in a bowl. (Don't forget to order a side of datil pepper sauce to go with.) The deviled eggs topped with fried Florida oysters was not on the innovative, but absolutely delicious. The Tomato bacon jam it was served over was the perfect condiment. Again, datil pepper sauce complimented perfectly. Finally, the salmon with citrus jam and chimichurri over potato and manchego gratin was absolutely delicious. The best meal we had in the area all weekend. Would definitely come back to this place. These folks are passionate about putting out excellent food, and it shows.

While the host here could use some work, (just sitting out on the front on his cell phone), the rest of our experience was good. However, we stopped by a few nights later to eat here again and were told we weren’t able to eat inside, even though there was nobody seated inside. Other than that, we really enjoyed our experience here. Our server disappeared halfway through dinner, but was quickly taken over by somebody else and they never missed a beat. The food was absolutely fantastic. We split the two meals, and they even had pre-split them for us before they came out. Highly recommend! Great backyard area if it’s not too hot!

I’m a big foodie and I’m not easily impressed. This place was delicious! The lobster deviled eggs and the crusted snapper were very good. We loved the ambiance of the outside area too. Definitely recommend!

Spent Saturday night here and it was incredible. The entire staff accommodated every single one of our requests, including being seated inside versus outside, being a couple minutes late for a reservation, and allowing us to bring in a personal cake for our friend’s birthday. Patrick, the host, went above and beyond to make sure we were seated quickly and our waiter, Josh, helped tie everything together. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the deviled eggs and the braised gnocchi. we were also on a time crunch which they adhered to perfectly. Highly recommend!

Disclaimer: I’m a native Texan, traveling on vacation. This place offered an elevated dining experience. It wasn’t your typical local food joint. We only had appetizers and drinks, but that was enough to know it was exactly what our foodie hearts were craving. We tried two craft cocktails—the Double Vision and the Lavender Haze. Whoever came up with the idea of mixing carrot, ginger, whiskey, and fennel was pure genius. It was such an exciting drink, perfectly made—we could’ve easily had a few more. The lavender drink was equally refreshing and intoxicating. Small menu - which we love. We like when restaurants perfect everything, instead of a large menu where everything is mediocre. We enjoyed the fish and sausage egg roll. I’m a Minorcan chowder girl, and I could’ve easily swum in a bathtub of that tasty conch soup. It was that good. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, setting the perfect vibe for an intimate experience. Everything about the vibe was just right.

Fantastic food in the Nation's oldest city. I had the lobster deviled eggs, crispy Fingerling potatoes, and the Snapper Rockefeller. One of my very favorite restaurants, and I'm admittedly pretty picky. You're missing out if you don't go.
