- alissa jagieloMarch 6, 2016Lobster fries are a must try. The sunset is lovely . Service is friendly. Overall pleasant , kinda kid friendly but not as peaceful. 💖🌅
Just sitting out on the patio watch the people and the boats. Occasionally a dolphin or manatee. Great food and service and it's dog friendly.
Michael NataleJuly 8, 2015Pretty good seafood. Nothing fancy and not top notch but great casual eatery. Good bar. Try the scallops. Try the hummus app.
Peter VitaleApril 27, 2015Good place. Try it. Coming from New York it's hard to beat our food. Just saying.

Angelica BarwichJanuary 5, 2018The Interior look like subway.... Don’t overdress I came in highheels and dress. Middleage 55+. The food was OK.
Mya DonnDecember 30, 2017This place has gone way downhill - undercooked shrimp, old tasting fish, hard as rocks sliders, and truly the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Won’t be back.
Josh GoldfarbOctober 14, 2015Bad service and not so awesome food. Manager tried to be helpful, but fell short...wanted it to be better.
