"It was Father's Day, so some of the downsides were related to the restaurant being crowded and busy. Parking was a nightmare! While the restaurant offers valet service, the lot was completely full, and we found ourselves stuck on the road for several minutes unable to get in. However, once things picked up, the attendants were efficient and courteous. We ended up waiting over 20 minutes past our reservation time because, as the hostess explained, guests were simply not leaving. Additionally, we waited even longer for our food, likely because the kitchen was overwhelmed with multiple large groups and other tables placing orders. Our server was great about keeping us updated and made sure our drinks were always full. We enjoyed a table on the patio with a lovely view of the beach. The food was fantastic! We had mezze platters, steak and eggs, and various chicken dishes, all of which were excellent. Then, just as we were finishing, the typical Florida afternoon storms rolled in, prompting us to make a quick exit back to Orlando. Overall, we enjoyed this restaurant, and had it not been a holiday, I probably would have rated it 5 stars."
