Fauna exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely…read moreamazing--every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. What truly completed the evening was our server, Adam. He was knowledgeable, attentive, considerate, and spot-on with every recommendation and every question we had. His friendly personality and great sense of humor made us feel right at home. It's amazing how one person can elevate an already outstanding dining experience. Adam did exactly that for us. We will definitely be back to Fauna, and we'll be requesting Adam as our server. Highly recommend!

What a terrible experience. We had eaten at Flora a few days earlier and had the most delicious…read morefood and excellent service. Well, we met the complete opposite arriving at Fauna. We only saw the waitress one time. After waiting 15 minutes, she arrived to take our order and we NEVER saw her again. The potato purée with truffle cream and leeks, which we requested to arrive first hadn't arrived after what seemed like 15 to 20 minutes so we got up from the table and apparently they made a mistake and it should've been brought to the table and when it did, it was cold or barely warm. We tried to find someone to get us to help us, but after five minutes gave up and decided to eat it. You couldn't taste any truffle and we ate it just because we were hungry, but it was extremely disappointing. There were hardly any leaks on it and they were overcooked. Next, there was confusion over our entrée which we were splitting and we wanted to come out and we again had to try to track someone down to explain to please send out the entrée. When it arrived, the fish had been pounded down thin and was covered in breading and so much oil that it was completely disgusting and inedible. Instead of a beautiful piece of juicy flounder, we got a dry, oily thin piece, which was mostly breading and really disgusting. It had no flavor. Green beans which they put a fancy name on to make it sound special while they were overcooked and tasteless and the sweet potatoes were watered down. The rum banana was overcooked and would have been better suited as a dessert. We then had to get up from the table again because we never found our waitress so we had to go to the hostess so we can retrieve our bill and left a very undeserving 15% tip. We managed to find someone else to bring us some containers to take on the food that we hadn't eaten and in the end, I don't know why we bothered because it went in the garbage. If you want terrible service and terrible food, then head on over to Fauna . If you want good service and good food walk a few feet and there you have Flora. Flora is a small intimate restaurant that is decorated beautifully had amazing service and cooks their food perfectly. They treat each customer as if they are their most special customer. We felt welcomed there and we felt like they went above and beyond to make us happy. It was such a different experience going to that. We are shocked the same owners owned both restaurants. Maybe they should try switching managers so Fauna can learn how to run things more like Flora. I have a feeling that Fauna makes most of their money on alcohol because you certainly don't wanna go there for the food or ambience. It's noisy and obnoxious. If you want a peaceful restaurant, that's beautiful and knows what their theme is then go on over to Flora. Fauna has lamps with deer, antlers and wood that is dark and uninviting and strange wallpaper with different animals on it in the bathroom and terrible smelling soap. Their menu is confusing as with their music, which was a mix of salsa and a type of music you would expect in a Mexican restaurant. You really missed the mark Fauna.

If there were a global standard by which all restaurant professionals were judged, Christian Brown…read morewould be the benchmark. As a busser at The Patio, Christian transcends the expectations of his role with a level of diligence, awareness, and professionalism that is nothing short of extraordinary. He does not merely clear tables -- he orchestrates the dining room with the precision of a seasoned conductor, ensuring every surface is immaculate, every transition seamless, and every guest experience elevated. Christian possesses an almost preternatural sense of timing. Tables are reset before one even realizes they need attention, and the flow of service is noticeably smoother whenever he is on the floor. His work ethic is relentless yet graceful, efficient yet thoughtful -- the kind that silently holds an entire operation together. What truly distinguishes Christian, however, is his presence. He approaches his responsibilities with humility, poise, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. He supports servers proactively, anticipates needs without being asked, and maintains a calm, professional demeanor even during the most demanding rushes. The dining room feels more polished, more organized, and more welcoming because of him. It is rare to encounter someone who treats their position not as a task, but as a craft. Christian Brown exemplifies what hospitality should look like at its highest level. Any restaurant would be fortunate to have him; The Patio is elevated simply by his presence. In short: Christian is not just one of the best bussers I have ever seen -- he is one of the finest hospitality professionals in the industry.

Entree came out a bit slow but other than that, the service was good and the food was excellent…read more They currently have a pasta happy hour pricing on Wednesdays from 5 to 6. Add burrata to your spicy rigatoni...you won't regret it.

John Scott's Surf Shack was a gem of a find on an overcast holiday weekend when looking for some…read morewhere fresh, fun and family friendly to be outside of the house. We were in the neighborhood after looking at a few local reviews and knew we had to give them a try. The Mr and I, with our baby in tow were pleasantly surprised with how fresh the menu items that we selected were. We started off splitting a Roasted Beet and Pear salad, not one wilted green, which isn't always the easiest to come by. The only miss for me was the ratio of beets to pear, where I had less peach pieces and flavor. All in all it was a delightfully, light, crisp salad with a good amount of beets. I moved forward to the Garlic Lime Shrimp entree and the Mr got my 2nd choice option, the Shrimp Tacos. Both were presented nicely where eating with you eyes is real. The tastbuds did follow soon after enjoying every bite. :) The shrimp within both entrees were the best we have had in sometime being big, juicy and full of flavor. After that since it was a holiday weekend we opted for some dessert too. Talk about sizable slices of Tuxedo and Peanut Butter ice cream pies, that literally you can share just one super easily. The Mr opted for the Tuxedo slice since he loves chocolate. I went for the Peanut Butter, which had the bonus of a Rice Krispies crust. Why have I never thought to do that while baking...definitely something to try. Both come out looking bigger than life and not melting in any way which was great. It was amazing to see it keep it's shape all the way through slowly eating it to the end. The waitress was super sweet and attentive to our requests. The only real thing that has me omiting a stars here is the fact for a small lot they had a valet, but worse than that the fact that there was no electricity in bathroom. Oddly no windows for light, or battery operated lanterns/fake candles for light. Had to break out the cell phone flash light function to maneuver around. Totally unacceptable ;( for that prop main door to stay open.

The food was so good and the service was great l!!! The ambiance was amazing obviously bc it's next…read moreto a beach very good staff. I forgot my purse there and the waitress ran to give it back. Amazing establishment with good people working there ! Thank you again to that waitress !
