We sat on the deck during a rain storm and enjoyed the view and sounds. Our server was very friendly and the food was delicious and fast.

Enjoyed ice cold beer while fileting our cat h for the day. The kitchen pan seared a few filets for us and it was incredible! Grouper melt was to die for! Michelle was an absolute doll, loved chatting with her!

The food was your standard, fried seafood fare - and that's not a bad thing! Food was hot and fresh, and the fried shrimp were cooked perfectly. The only downside to the food were the hushpuppies. They were pretty bland and dense. It was a Saturday around noon when we went. There were other patrons, but I wouldn't say it was slammed by any means. Service was pretty slow, though. The kitchen got the food out fast, but it took quite some time to have our order taken to begin with, and we only got refills once after waiting for about 25 minutes. Might have just been an off day.

A very quiet resturant, you literally looking at a boating dock. There are seagulls and pelicans around, that gladly will let you feed them. Beautiful place, the food was good, the waitress was amazing.

Great food. Indoor seating was a little drab and warm for the middle of the day. Service left a little to be desired with what felt like minimal attentiveness for the amount of people dining at the time.
