NoraNora: Fried oysters for appetizers, crab bisque best soup ever, king crabs and lobster tail for mains, and finally key lime pie and banana cream pie for heavenly dessert

Mike R.Mike Reid: The key lime pie. The calamari. The sauteed mushrooms and fried oysters - all excellent. The stone crab are overrated and overpriced.
