Chef Orlando and Captain Jerry provided a great food experience for our group. The food was amazing and almost as good were the personalities / story telling that Orlando brought. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be booking again when we come back to the area.

Orlando and his team were amazing. The food was delicious and they left the space spotless when they left. Everyone who came was very personable and friendly, it was easy visiting with them. They also took time to explain the dishes which again, were amazing.

Truly such an amazing and personable experience with chef Orlando. The food was delicious and the presentation was thoughtful. Joining him in learning how to make these dishes was the best part. Highly recommend this!
