Overview
- Chef: This is the only higher-end place I have ever been where the ventilation was unable to keep up with the smell of shrimp. A member of our party had an allergic reaction immediately upon entering. Other restaurants that serve shrimp, including Bonefish grill, Mitchell’s Fish Market, every J. Robert place, J. Allexanders, etc. have ventilation sufficient to control airborne allergens. We had to leave without even sitting down.
- Foodie: The shrimp smell in the air was so thick someone with us had an immediate allergic reaction upon entering. We had to leave before even getting seated. The smell of fish in the air was strong even for those without allergies.
What We Liked
- Chef: Upon entering, there is a nice bar to the left and a spacious eating area to the right. The fire “torches” outside were a nice touch. Ample parking and valet is available.
- Foodie: The atmosphere seemed to be upscale casual – good food you can eat in shorts.
What We Didn’t Like
- Chef: Ventilation was not up to the task.
- Foodie: Allergens were not handled as expected in a fine dining establishment. Big disappointment.
