CLOSED as of December 8th, 2021 8pm. You could teach a business class on how NOT to run a business based on this place.

I hate leaving one star reviews. However, the experience that I had was so frustrating that I felt the need to leave this one today. I am on vacation with my family, and we decided to have a boil before the weekend! I ordered 3 adult cherry limeade from their menu, and i received 3 lemon drop martinis. I have not been to this restaurant before and did not know what the drink i ordered from their menu looked or tasted like. Not only did the bartender, Terry, decide whatever drink he made for me was what i was going to drink instead of what i actually ordered, but it was also more expensive. He barely acknowledged his mistake and just expected me to be okay with it. Anyway. The boil i got was great, and is pictured below.

The crayfish boil was the best I ever had! Ordered a second order after finishing off the first one in record time. Crayfish we're huge and fresh. Will be back next season for more!

I stopped in for a quick bite and a glass of wine late in the afternoon and was pleased. The clam chowder was good and priced well. I need to try some more of their seafood but from what I saw of the pricing it's a little high. I do hope they do well as a new restaurant! Used to love Grimaldis which they replaced.

Looks are deceiving! Highly disappointed. First ordered the shrimp boil with lemon pepper seasoning and mild sauce with potatoes and sausage. Big mistake. When it was poured into my plate, the sauce, potatoes and sausage where all the same color brown. Not sure if the sauce was too much soy sauce or too much Worcestershire sauce but it was horrible. Then requested just the fried shrimp and fries. Fried shrimp taste like they were lightly battered in plain flour, very bland no seasoning and the french fries were limp and not very hot. Definitely will not go to this place again nor will I recommend it. However, I understand everyone has a different taste and if you choose to go there may your experience be better than mine.

Truthfully terrible. Waited over an hour for rubbery Luke warm king crab that was the size of a baby snow crab. Absolutely tore my stomach apart. EXTREMELY over priced and came with no sides. 50$+ vs 35$ at Mr. & Mrs crab WITH sides! Just save your self the aggravation. I will say the waiter/bartender/hostess was nice. Considering he had like 5 different jobs, he did great.

Delicious grilled shrimp. Perfectly cooked. This is our fourth visit and everything we’ve had has been great. Crab legs, shrimp, and fish & chips were all delicious. Friendly servers and attentive. They never seem too busy so I hope they make it. So good!

Great place to go if you want to taste a boil but not really get full. It was the smallest 1/2 pound of shrimp I've ever had and it comes with nothing but shrimp. Even the sauce was lacking. The impression I got was the company doesn't make much on the boils and so they skimp heavily on them. I love boils and the sauce was pretty good. I wouldn't come back for boil but maybe to try an entree of some kind. Server was cool- Patrick. Florida is known for seafood, I'd say go else where for boil.

This place exceeded my expectations. And I'm glad. The menu is very limited, but the limited items that are on the menu are cooked to perfection. The seafood is market price, but well worth it. Ordered half pound of grilled shrimp, and it was satisfying. Not a family restaurant, but happy hour is great!

Pricey and the food was not good at all. I love seafood, I don't mind paying for good food. Catfish plates with shrimp over $25 for a plate of seafood that didn't taste fresh. Catfish has a distinct taste, the fish taste like cod. I will not return.

I had the Catfish plate, which was crispy and tasty. It came with fries and two very small hush puppies, both were on the mushy greasy side and lacked flavor.My wife had a chicken sandwich which she said had good flavor but was on the dry side and undersized for the bun plus the bun started fall apart as soon as she picked the sandwich up. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Probably won't return because we found there food to be ordinary and to mainstream. I personally enjoy places that prepare dishes that standout from what I can cook at home or are just unique in their approach. Serving Garor doesn't qualify in Florida as unique.

Date night brought us out. Love the outdoor bar and happy hour to 7pm. The menu is limited. But during these times when we have supply issues keep an open mind in addition to an open wallet. Pricing is aggressive. Love the beer selections. Staff is very nice too.
