We loved it in here the atmosphere was clean and smart and the staff was friendly. We were looking to spend a bit of time as we had a couple of hours to spend and were treated well throughout our visit.We shared a Fish Po' Boy and a chicken sandwich the Looney Bird or something.The chicken sandwich had a nice light coating and a nice flavor, and the fish was plentiful, well cooked, and had a great flavor.We hung out and ordered Cookies and Milk for dessert, 2 big ooey gooey, warm cookies cooked fresh and served warm, we also enjoyed a couple of cups of coffee with a shot of Jameson's.All in all a great time!

First time here, we are locals. Husband had grouper and said it was great. I had lobster cake., disappointing. No lobster to be seen, no lump crab like menu says. Crab is shredded into cake. Looks like the “lump part may have been 1/2 inch skinny pieces of fish. Way too salty (and I like my food salty) and way over seasoned. Probably to cover up lack of lobster and crab. Probably won’t be back.

One of the best meals my husband and I have had in a long time. I went in expecting the standard beach side over priced food that equal a Ruby Tuesday chain restaurant. I have to say I was WRONG in the BEST way!!! 100% fresh & truly chef inspired food. I will definitely be back & telling

Highly recommend this place. Seems like plain Jane, however each dish we ordered was great. I agree w another reviewer, the Tomahawk pork chop best ever. I ordered it Medium and it came out tender and tasty. My wife ordered Salmon well done, once again cooked perfectly.

The salmon and mashed potatoes were delicious. Others in my party had excellent meals as well (pork, steak, and grouper). Lovely decor.

Fantastic food. The only weird thing was they only had decaf coffee. We asked about three times and never were told they were out of regular coffee just that they only have decaf. I found that extremely unusual. Other than that all of our dinners were great the soup was wonderful the waitress was friendly although a little slow. Two of us got drinks and a third grade. Order the Kahlua and coffee with whipped cream but it came just with glue and coffee when I asked about the whipped cream and took her quite a while to bring a small paper cup of it to the table. Overall I would recommend this place
