TLDR: Ok experience, may or may not be back. Not exactly overwhelmed.

As promised I am reporting back. First of all the 12 year old loved the experience. I was sort of bummed about it. It didn't meet up to my expectations. I have had far better meals and overall experiences in other places.

Appetizers: Calamari and BBQ shrimp

Drinks: Red wine for the wife, Whiskey on the rocks (2) for me.

Me< Ancho rubbed strip
12 year old< Ancho rubbed strip
15 year old< Whole broiled flounder
Wife< Swordfish.

Desserts: Banana Crème Pie, Upside down bourbon pecan cake and Chocolate soufflé.

Pro's: Service was fantastic, the pacing of dinner was good, banana crème pie and soufflé were very good. The calamari with the olive mix was a neat twist and a pleasant surprise. Snapper was outstanding and the swordfish just met expectations at the minimum level and didn't really overwhelm.

Con's: BBQ Shrimp was overcooked. Strip was disappointing and was not typical of what I expect in a strip. The ancho flavor was fine, the steak was of poor quality. I just know I have had far better strips in the backyard. The upside down cake was ok.
