Went to this place during happy hour to get oysters and after 45 minutes asked the bartender how long it would be. She apparently forgot to place our order. On top of that, our Margaritas weren't 1/2 price. 25.00 for 2 mediocre drinks....crazy! Unfortunately, they advertise 1/2 price drinks for happy hour.If you're looking for a happy hour this isn't the place to go. On top of that, service sucked. Wish I could give zero stars.

Such a wonderful spot to eat at on the water and enjoy fresh seafood. I am not ordinarily a raw oyster person and loved the ones they had when we visited. If we are lucky enough to come back we will plan to come back to this restaurant.

It was a great first time visit to this location. The service was excellent for such a large group that we had. The food was good but not out of this world. They do have a great happy hour. They have very limited parking, but there is a parking lot close by. The appetizers were plenty full and tasty.Parking: There’s a paid parking lot next-door

Great food. Totally let down by our server katerina. Told us she was “too busy” to split the bill after keeping us waiting for it for over half an hour (the restaurant was half empty)I declined to leave a tip because of poor service and the waitress then told them she expects a tip and shook the rest of our group down for the tip on their way out. Absolutely appalling behaviour. For a meal that cost close to $400 for 7 people that’s not cool.

Food and atmosphere are a staple of Key West. My family and I arrived just off a boat from a fishing trip with fresh catch. Everything was amazing that was prepared fresh from our trip. However, our service at the table was less than acceptable. Maybe we just had someone having a bad day.

What an amazing find! And if you make it during happy hour, they have fresh oysters for $22.99 by the dozen. Also great is the conch ceviche. One of the best sunset views in Key West. This place is located right on the water and if you're lucky, you may get an outside table.The decor is rustic with license plates from all over dorning the walls and the ambience is quintessentially Key West!
