The food and service was horrible, definitely wouldn't recommend. It wasn't busy and took over an hour to get our food. The food was lukewarm. It was a beautiful view but not worth the $140 we spent.

The ambiance was not worth the wait. Not only was the atmosphere ok but the food was less desirable. Ordered the seafood platter and everything was deep fried along with a whole crab!!! Didn't how to eat the crab so just had the shrimp and fish. The Thai chili shrimp was the best thing and even that was mediocre. Don't plan on going back here.

The food was nothing to write home about. I think it was overshadowed by the slow and painful service. With no one else eating at tables (just a couple at the bar) you would think they would make more of an effort. We were tired from traveling and just wanted a nice meal. We will skip it next time.

Fresh, fried seafood. reservations recommended. My family went at 5pm on a random Monday night in late March and had to wait 20 min (not a big deal, just surprised on an off season Monday night). Kids menu was $10ish and had a great selection of burgers and seafood options. My wife, 11 year old, and I had the seafood platter and it was a delicious assortment of fried seafood - shrimp, fish, crab cake (1), hush puppies, and 2 sides ($60). The three of us couldn't finish it. Our server was attentive and kind. When he learned it happened to be my birthday he threw in a cheesecake slice for free. Ambiance was casual. TVs and a 360 wall of windows overlooking the ocean. Would definitely go back on a future trip.

We were there on a Saturday night (3/16/24) about 5:30 pm & waited at the upstairs bar. We were seated by 6 pm (lower level). The views were awesome & it was a lovely evening as the sun went down. The bartender was very attentive. At our table, the wait staff (Travis) was very attentive & fast. I had the Fettucini Alfredo with Shrimp (it came with a salad) & my husband had one of the house specials (a Flounder meal). Both were excellent. The only drawback back was getting my salad at the same time as the meal. Overall, the meals were awesome & we think the best tasting food on the island. We were glad we found it. We would definitely recommend this place.

Always good food and good service! I love their gumbo, it's delicious with their BLT lunch special!

Food was amazing. I grew up coming to the island for many years but in my last year or two visit the menu has been updated for more vibrant items. Service was exceptional and food was on top. Anywhere you sit has a beautiful view over looking the water to the Gulf. It's a must check out spot for a great dinner, food & vibes

Overall my group had a great evening and meal at this restaurant. I will warn though, even for a Tuesday night, we still had a 45 minute wait for a group of 3 when we arrived at 5:45 pm. Makes sense for being the best (and one of the few) places on the island, but still plan ahead when choosing to dine here. To start, we had bushwhackers from the bar while waiting for our table. They were amazing! Also pro tip: order these from the bar, as we paid 22 for two rather than 27 if we ordered at a table (from the menu). Once seated, our waitress was there quickly and got our drinks. She returned not long after to take dinner orders, which didn't take long given how busy the place was. I personally ordered the mahi tacos with coleslaw and onion rings. I also ate the hush puppies from my partners plate, as he didn't want his. Overall the sides were great. The onions rings were fantastic and the coleslaw was so refreshing. My tacos themselves were okay. The mahi was overcooked and over seasoned. The hush puppies also weren't the best I've ever had, but definitely Weren't bad. I still would come back and eat them. The others in my group ordered the fried fish dinner, which was large and tasty (and went great with their seasoned fries). Their only complaints were about the tartar sauce, which was not to their liking. If you're on the island, I would definitely recommend the visit! While some things could be improved upon, they are still obviously the best for a reason!

Had a late lunch today. Tanner was our server. He was great! The food and drinks were great! As well as the service! Will definitely eat here again!
We asked a local where the best seafood was she recommended this place . Got there a few minutes before it opened . Took a while for our server to come take our order . We decided to share the large seafood platter which was great . Music was a little loud for just opening and not many people inside . But would definitely recommend to anyone going to give them a try.

Stop by and had a sit down lunch at the bar. Front and bar Staff were super friendly and helpful. They don't offer draft at the bar but have plenty of bottles. Other wait staff seemed rushed and aloof. I wasn't sure about them. lol I ordered lunch and then a meal to-go. Lunch was less food than I expected for the price but was full just the same. The to-go was for the teen. He appreciated the packaging and ate it without words lol. If you're in the area after the parades, stop over for lunch.... Rather than sitting in traffic for hours returning to the interstate.

Had drinks and appetizers. Amazing! We had coconut shrimp, pork belly and shrimp and crab and spinach dip. We could pick a favorite. All sauces and dips are house made. Wonderful service.
