Mannie DamronAugust 25, 2012If you can - get a table upstairs. You've got the water view. The Ahi Tuna Poké is amazing as is Tylers Tuna. Its the only place you can get delicious seafood enchiladas around here.
Love this place !! Staff is awesome and the food is even better !! Start off in the bar with a pain killer 3rd degree if you dare !! And for a real treat try the fresh fried snapper throats- Well done Bob and Toni well done you have seemed to do what most other restaurants can't ! Great service better fun all with top notch staff! My hats off to the chef and his kitchen crew and Shawn
Julie DidionMay 30, 2014Best seafood dinner on the island. Try the scalloped potatoes as a side. I got my fish pan grilled and it was fantastic. Freshest fish!!!
Chris GrahamMarch 19, 2018I was glad they catered to vegans. I got their vegetable pasta with grilled veggies and it tasted amazing! :)
