to start with the waitress we had was very nice but she wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu and needs to take more time to review it. my wife got a shrimp basket with coleslaw and only received probably five or six shrimp which were very little. they also allowed people to smoke around you while you were eating outside which is illegal in Florida. I also had to let them know that they upcharged me for something that had one price on the menu and was double when I got the bill. and also I got a salad which was really good and fresh but didn't bother to tell me that they were going to charge me for the second dressing that they brought which I didn't even ask for, and when my salad was brought out which was a Cobb salad, it was given to my sister and they told her it was her side salad. which I let the manager know. one of our people ordered a drink and thought it had peach vodka which is what she was told when they brought it and it actually was peach moonshine. overall I think the owner is not managing the restaurant well and needs to take some time themselves at the restaurant to get it in order. I would probably only rate this as a three star.

Very good food and service. Love the view and setting, and that they let you bring dogs in the outside seating area.

What a great find! Popped out for something different on a Saturday afternoon. The staff was very nice and social. The food was great, large portions. There was a two-piece and for outdoor entertainment. Other customers were social as well. Just lends for the friendly atmosphere. You can spend a nice afternoon with friends here.

Terrible food and service. Waited so long for nasty food we got comped with a piece chocolate cake that had a hair in it. Probably the worst dining experience ever. All three meals ordered were awful. Live and learn.

It was an experience to see this historical place. Prices were a little high for the portions given. Very popular eatery. In Nov. 18/22 this historic landmark suffered a lot of damage from Hurricane Ian. It was closed for awhile but has now reopened without its original warm character and charm. A more contemporary decor is what you'll find . Food and fun atmosphere still lives on however.
