Ate dinner there last week! I must say I was very disappointed. The food was good, but VERY slow coming out. I mean VERY. THe place was empty. OUr waitress was rarely seen, we had to flag her down for refills and such... disappointing since we knew she just had us as her table!

The food was good. I had build your own shrimp plate... we just had a bad service exp. Perhaps yours will be better!

I honestly don't know about it being close to anything else because we just drove there, ate, and left =)

Um, the interior is really casual... brown paper on the table tops, basic paper menu, brightly lit, etc. Evidentally, just about 6 months ago, they changed from having nice big menus and nicer seating and went more family atmosphere... DM dines there on occasion, and was surprised it had gone so casual. We would have been fine in shorts and tanks, really.

The food was good... I had the two choice shrimp, with the en brochette (stuff with cheese and wrapped with bacon) and the crab stuffed... both REALLY good =) DH had the same, but added a third choice of grilled shrimp.

I really like this place. As a local we eat here often and have never had bad service, even when busy. I always get the crabcakes and they are wonderfull, full of lump crab meat with very little filler. Best I have found in Orlando. The seafood bar is quite good as well if you like cold seafood ( oysters, clams, blue crabs, mussels, etc.).
