- Sit by the Intracoastal Waterway and watch the dolphins swim by as you enjoy a fresh mojito, crab dip and a blackened mixed grill platter.
AmyJuly 13, 2012You may have to wait awhile but it's worth it. Sit outside as the waterway and boats are nice to look at. The food has been pretty good. Coconut shrimp and crab dip are delicious.- Table by the water so you can watch dolphins swim by while enjoying a fresh mojito, crab dip and blackened mixed grill platter.
Anamarija JaguschAugust 31, 2015Absolutely great service and great food. Seared scallops with a warm potato salad and asparagus is delicious.
HannahMarch 14, 2015Crab dip is ok. Flounder dish Is served oddly upon sweet potato hash. Scallop entree just ok, paired risotto was delicious. Great key lime pie
KellyJuly 19, 2013This is, by far, my favorite place in both NC and SC, for seafood, hands down! Beautiful waterfront view, too. No one can beat their seafood, or ambience!
Seán OhOctober 4, 2014Great view and atmosphere. Don't expect great drinks. The mojitos are okay, the "blue mule" won't come in a copper mug, and the margaritas are decent. The waterway breeze is what you pay for.
Ryan CisekAugust 20, 2014Awesome view out on the deck. Only got an app for lunch, but like all these other tips say, get the crab dip. You won't be disappointed.
Shannon ZuckerDecember 3, 2014The sampler appetizer makes for a fantastic entree too. Sit outside on the water for dinner with a view!
Tim HAugust 15, 2015The fish tacos were everything I could ask for and their BWG Palmer is a favorite of mine
Paul PassaroMarch 2, 2017The calamari appetizer was awesome as were the tilapia, flounder and accompanying side dishes. Service equally awesome.
Nancy FrenchMarch 9, 2019Fried oyster salad and the crab cake!!! YUM! The oysters were cooked perfectly!
cassidy mitchellOctober 6, 2017the view is spectacular and the food is good (lots of seafood options!), just doesn't taste like it was made with love if you know what i mean 😬
DianeMarch 6, 2013Awesome evening with " fire at the dock". Chefs competing. Great fun and unique food presentations
- ajSeptember 16, 2011Sit outside watch the yatchs pass by, order something that used to call the atlantic home, like a #mahimahi or sumfin. Very good food!
- Sunday's on the deck, over-looking the Intracoastal Waterway is my favorite place in the ILM. Bring your sunglasses!
Hayley StarnesJune 10, 2011Great food! Salmon, chicken, and roast beef is the bomb.com. was here for wedding party and had good service.
Melissa MonroeMay 29, 2013Sit outside on the inter coastal listening to beach music & watch the yachts pass by.
Brian BrianApril 27, 2019The view is great. The food is above average. The service is ok due to under staff.
Here is a tip. Go somewhere else. Ridiculous sys for reservations telling you to call 30 min before you arrive but will take your spot with a walk in. Waited over 90 minutes after being told 20 to 30
