Excellent choices, from fresh sea food to tacos, to steak. We enjoyed our Ahi Tuna, shrimp. We stopped in to try while waiting on The Island of Lights Christmas parade. Food, service, and ambiance!

Great atmosphere with exceptional staff and fairly tasty food. Had the catch of the day which they offer 3 different prep options. 2 blackened and 1 grilled. Had the grilled and was a little disappointed as it tasted blackened in the over charing and the fish was quite dry. Also had the jumbo lump crab cakes and while they were very tasty, they had quite a bit of kick to them... So if spicy isn't your thing, I don't recommend. In addition to dinner, I had a side salad and asked for thousand island dressing... And would you believe they don't carry it. For the cost... I expected more.

Very popular, as it is one of the nicer restaurants in town, and so it was busy, but staffing issues kept it from filling up (end of summer I guess). Food was prepared well and very good. Staff was good.

This was one of my favorite places to dine in the area. Ate outside, comfortable seating. Beautiful inside dining. Drinks were excellent. Blackened Mahi and Tuna dishes were mouthwatering. Bananas foster is yummy but big enough to share with two or three. Crystal was attentive and friendly and made a fun and relaxing dinner.

Hostess stand not friendly or helpful. But after that everything was awesome. Good food and wonderful service. Drinks just ok and a little pricey. Food was delicious and service was on point.

A great time from start to finish. The hostess, Leah, was extremely pleasent and the waitress was very helpful. The food was out of this world good but unfortunately the only downside was that we didn't save room for dessert. A+ for service, taste and hospitality.

I absolutely love the outside decor of this restaurant. While walking around looking for a good place to eat with friends we spotted Havana's down the street and came in to check out the menu. The variety is awesome, everyone quickly found something delicious to order and our server Michelle was incredibly sweet and helpful the entire time we were there. We spent the day out in the sun and it was warm out - without prompting, Michelle came back to refill our water over & over again. Our food was quickly brought out, all fresh & hot. Everyone devoured their meals so fast, I didn't bother trying
