    Our experience for our date night was very nice. My partner ordered the Fish Fry and I had the Mahi simply prepared. Both portions were plentiful. We had non-alcoholic drinks. Mark, our table assistant/server, was timely, professional, and checked on us from time to time (not too little/much). We had Creme Brule and Chocolate dessert choices - both were delicious. The chocolate dessert is very, very rich/thick as Mark described. We took part of the Fish Fry and my Chocolate dessert home. We had a table by the window with a beautiful view of the harbor skyline. We arrived by our 7:30 pm reservation time. The manager nor anyone rushed us out when the 1.5 hr table time limit expired - thank you for accommodating us. There were plenty of "inner isle" tables available and the restaurant quickly 'filled up' around the 8 p.m./8:30 p.m. time frame. We had fun! My friend was visiting and they enjoyed the experience. Thank you RS for partnering with the garage next door and reducing the parking fee to an amount that's more manageable. A five out 5 experience with Mark guiding us each step of the way!
