Food was excellent, service seemed disinterested, an historic building and a beach town feel, but dont let a few dirty corners keep you away. Everything we had was exceptional, but make sure you mortgage is paid it aint cheap. Also they dont try to hide it but a 17 gratuity is added to the already high prices.
