    Oysters! Yum! Been coming here since I was a kid.... It's changed a lot since then but still brings back great memories. Cold beer and hand shucked oysters can't go wrong.

    The Empanadas are likely the best thing ever. If you don't get them, you are a communist :)

    Conch fritters and crab and spinach dip are to die for. Oh and order the sea turtle - it has 4 types of rum in it.

    Great food, great service. Be careful showing up at Turtle race time unless you're into it. It is WAY too loud for regular patrons.

    Cole slaw and brisket are great. Coconut crusted grouper was dissapointing...too much breading, didn't seem fresh. 50 cent oysters on half shell ...excellent!

    They got rid of their excellent happy hour. So much for making this place a tradition. Eat sh*t, management.

    The location is nice. Food just so-so, and the staff simply couldn't be bothered. Sat for 15 min. No less than 5 servers walked by, never said a word. Had to go to hostess stand to get a server.

    Waited for 15 min for a waiter to come to our table and it's not even busy. Food is expensive and pretentious. Barely decent to eat.

    Worst service. Took forever for someone to come over. Had to ask for silverware never for a napkin. The catch of the day had as much flavor as the stringbeans
