I would give five stars across the board, except I found out what they DON’T have anymore… since it became the Vietnamese restaurant, it stopped being a seafood oyster bar that had monthly Sea Shanty Sing-a-Longs!!!! I am bereft I am heartbroken.
Everyone was very, very nice even though they were really focused on the big birthday party upstairs. We were the only people downstairs eating.
They gave me my Vietnamese iced coffee in a kickass pirate mug, like my friend got her Pilsner in.
Some of the menu offerings are really unique and interesting. I had the Vietnamese Spring Rolls … if you don’t know, Vietnamese spring rolls are fresh, not fried. They are served with shrimp and cilantro with some sliver vegetables and bean thread noodle. They were out of shrimp so I had the chicken. It was a little stiffer than I’m used to but my biggest problem was that it smelled and tasted very fishy. And it didn’t have fish! My friend had Ahi tuna nachos.
Then I saw the picture of the garlic bread and suddenly had to have garlic bread so I ordered shrimp fettuccine Alfredo—and it was very good!!
For me, the big standout was that the restaurant was originally a 1902 lighthouse moved down the estuary by barge to become the restaurant. Around the perimeter of the ceiling are model ships!
I just wish they’d bring back the sea shanty sing-along
And if they knocked those plastic, but they look like pewter Pirate mugs down to $25 instead of $75, I’m sure they could sell a bunch of them and still make a lot of $.

I might go back. Service was great. I ordered appetizers and we had a draft beer and Thai tea. The pork and shrimp egg roll was not good at all. Fries were good 👍 I would go back and try some entrées. They have a large menu selection.

Linda gave personal and terrific service. We had the clam chowder and garlic noodles with beef. Perfect.

I went for an event and enjoyed a great show and food. The wait staff was really friendly thought it took them a while to acknowledge me. Would definitely attend again. Good for a solo thing, girls night or a couple thing.

So apparently, there was a rave going on. Waited 20 minutes for service and no one came. Maybe it's better when the rave isn't going on. But honestly I'll pass. 🤷♂️

I am here in town for a few days and found this place on google.
The views are amazing, nice quiet atmosphere. When I first walked in I thought they were closed, dark and empty. A woman came around the corner and told me to go to the second floor, which I did.
Once I went upstairs I asked to be seated outside to enjoy my dinner overlooking the water.
The food was ok. Server was very nice.

This venue has changed owners the last year. It is now a Vietnamese restaurant with a picture menu offering no less than #78 different dishes. The service is terrible. The indoor seating upstairs is cold and lacks ambiance. The food tasted surprisingly good, our party had a variety of dishes and we only DON'T recommend is the hamburger. Expect to get full and then leave!
Dietary restrictions: They offer no glutenfree options
Our first time since re opening and definitely going back. Food was great and loved the view. The fried whole fish was so good. Fish Stew, steak.... we liked it all.

Food and service were fine. Win, not so much. Friday lunch. Ordered house Chardonnay, it was old and without question they replaced with a different Chardonnay. Same issue. They took it off the bill. Apparently they don't serve much white wine during the week.

Was there this past Thursday. Haven’t been there since the changes and from what i saw, ate, and experienced it was great. The bartender (forgot her name) was attentive, nice and really friendly…..she even changed outfits while we were there! She made sure everyone was taken care of, orders were correct and on time. Was there for happy hour, prices and quality of food we got was great and portions were generous.

I really really want to like this place. When I read that it was under me management, I jumped at the chance to give it another try. I was very disappointed.
1. When we went upstairs, no one was there to greet us or seat us. We finally seated ourselves.
2. It took the waiter a very long time to bring the menu and water.
3. What is advertised on the menu is not what you send up getting when the food arrives. For example, they say the rice plate comes with broken rice, but it came with regular rice. The garlic noodles with tofu are just vegetables chow mein. There is no garlic taste in the dish. The popcorn shrimp mostly contains squid and not shrimp.
4. We were basically ignored after the food came out. My kids accidentally asked a customer for a water refill.
5. When asked if there was an extra charge for a credit card, he said no, but when the printout came, there was a surcharge for credit cards. We only had 4 people in our group, and they added 18% mandatory tips to the bill. There's nothing written anywhere in the menu or in the restaurant regarding this policy.
If you want authentic Vietnamese food, go somewhere else.
Only street parking.

The service is wonderful and a great view of you eat outside. Kind of warm inside of you're a hot body. I recommend for sure. Sketch area of you're walking from your hotel but the waiter who is also a bar tender was phenomenal.
