A two star is being generous!! Fries were cold and chewy. Oysters were tiny. Coleslaw was dry like no mayo or dressing, only great thing was the shrimp!! The singer, get a new one. She can't sing!!

We went a few nights ago, had a wonderful evening on the patio and the best server, Kayla. She made our evening and the food was amazing. We had the grouper and the flounder, after a lovely crab starter, and left feeling like it was the best food we had for a while.
Went back on our last night, tonight, thinking we were going to have an amazing dinner on our last night. How disappointing ! We were sat on a high top in the bar, literally the main walk through for the restaurant apparently, and had a server who completely ignored us for over 30 minutes at a time
. We were going to order entrees but we never asked if we wanted anything, after our app was placed on our table. To the server who served every other table but ours…Thanks for ruining our last night.
As much as we wanted to love this restaurant based on the reviews, we were not impressed. Our server, Caila, was amazing and our appetizer (BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese Eggrolls)was really good but our meal was disappointing. We both had the Key West Grouper based on our servers description, a dish I’ve enjoyed in other restaurants. The fish did not taste fresh, more like frozen fish sticks. The breading was too thick and the rice was not completely cooked.

The manager was rude and they didn’t seat us in a timely manner, after they said we were next on the reservation. Will never recommend.
Food was good. Our waitress Cheryl was incredible. Took our order for 7 without writing it down and had everything correct. Great atmosphere.

Beef short rib should not be $26 a plate, way more fat than expected for a short rib. Might as well have been a roast. Mediocre at best in my opinion. Have had much better shot rib. Good atmosphere though.

This place is hit or miss. The first time, the food was excellent. Last two times, just so so.

Great food with live music on the island. Been here twice and had exceptional food both times. Hangar steak, oyster/shrimp basket, and porkchop pimento special are all standouts on the menu.
Only critiques are I wish they had more beers on draft and the kitchen can be a tad slow.
Overall, one of the top casual spots on the island, will definitely be returning.

Very disappointed in the food. The chicken was chewy the kettle chips were soggy. Not sure I’ll take a chance on another visit.

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Calamari was chewy and grouper was so bad (frozen & thick coating for $29) that I couldn’t eat it. The drink we had was small and weak. One out of 3 in our group liked their meal.

Sat outside on the patio and listened to great live music. Waiter was very attentive and made good food recommendations. Our favorite items were the voodoo chicken appetizer (think teriyaki chicken over Asian veggies) and spinach salad with fruit, nuts, and feta cheese. The portions on the grouper entree were very generous. Mixed drink I got was small and weak.

Love going here. Although, my favorite meal, Meatloaf wasn't on the menu this time. Fun place to go with friends.
