| - We visited again on our last trip, but this time for lunch, and had an even better experience than the last.
John, our Maitre D, was back again and was his usual funny self. He sat us inside the main dining area, and there was no wait for lunch on a Saturday. Call ahead if you know you're heading there and he'll set you up.
On my last visit, the stone crab claws were a bit disappointing, but we tried them again because it was a first for my friends, and this time, they were delicious. Sweet, tender, and a better deal if you order the select variety with an order of 6 for $45.
Of course I had to get the Alaskan King crab legs, and they did not disappoint. Lunch prices were $55 for 1 pound as opposed to 1 1/2 pound for $80. If you want the dinner serving, they're more than happy to give it to you.
Our party tried the ahi tuna sandwich, lobster tail tempura, oysters rockefeller, fried asparagus, sweet corn, and hash brown loaf. All were delicious, except the hash browns. I thought they were a bit overdone, and too salty. They are topped with a ton of caramelized onions which at first sounded perfect, but they were way too oily. That we wouldn't order again.
We each finished our lunch with half slices of their pies. The flavors on the table were key lime, chocolate peanut butter, havana dream, and another flavor I can't remember. If you like key lime, theirs won't disappoint. But we were in absolute awe of the havana dream. Our waitress described it as a tres leches pie, and it was amazing. I even considered taking a whole pie home. It's that good. Don't be fooled by the "half" slice. It's actually a very generous size.
