Alexandrea AllemannJuly 16, 2015The service was great, the location was great, and the seafood was great! I got the Italian grouper and my husband got the 1/2 lb. of buttered lump crab. Both excellent!
Christine KutysJune 18, 2018Absolutely delicious! They have indoor and outdoor seating. We got the lobster pot for two and while it was kind of expensive, it was definitely worth it! Comes with an included desert.
Mike SSeptember 5, 2013The surf n turf with 10 oz lobster tail and ribeye special was spot on. Jumbo lump crab drawn in butter with au gratin is great too.
Arnaldo RodriguezNovember 14, 2016Ask for a table with a view. Also, some items are freshly caught and won't be on the menu; ask the server about these.
- ian hallJuly 7, 2011Fish sandwiches here are HUGE! I had the mahi (not on the menu) and it was delicious. They are also known for their blackberry cobbler. Sit outside on the deck for a nice view of the sea & sand.
Neal KarnApril 10, 2014Best mahi sandwich ever! Also best sweet potato fries I've had. Everything was super fresh.... Worth the long wait to eat!
Darlene TorbertJuly 23, 2014I had the window table and that's the best seat in the house. The blackened tuna was wonderful
Kami DavidsonJune 30, 2016Try the tuna sandwich is it's on special. It is the best I have ever had!!!- Order the Ribeye and Lobster Tail when it is the special. Also their sauteed spinach is to die for!
- Sue SchwarzwellerAugust 23, 2011Awesome food! Loved the crab cakes to die for; same with burgers I recommend it. Only downer is service
