Pork belly was the best, fish tacos needed to be a 3 piece...good enough that I wanted 1 more.

The Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak was fantastic, and the green fried tomatoes were absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the employees were incredibly friendly. Overall, a great experience—I’ll definitely be back!

The only thing we didn't love was the ahi plate. Would be better if served rare and sliced.

Great hidden gem restaurant in Niceville! Food was AMAZING and the service was friendly! We loved the outdoor seating and it was a wonderful spot for a quick lunch. I would highly recommend the redfish sandwich and the smoked fish spread sandwich! GREAT PICKLES!

Had the mahi bronzed it was great, a little over for me, but had great seasoning and the fries were seasoned amazing!! The garlic butter is so garlic forward but really good if you like stuff like that. The unsweet tea was perfect and you cannot beat the view. On the sound in Niceville, married to the marina and overlooking the water. Absolutely fantastic view. They could feed me horse chow with views like that, but they feed you great service and great food.

The food was good. However, service lacked
Once our food came out, the server did not check on us until she came to see if we were ready for checks. If I pay $3.50 for a coke, I should have the chance for a refill. This was highly disappointing as I did not finish my food since there was no drink available. Also missed out on the sale of dessert, as I wanted to compare the key lime pie to my own. The seating was great.
Maybe one day I'll revisit as it could have been an off day. I've heard great things, but my experience could have been better.
At least one check-up after food came out would have saved the lunch.

Being part of the marina and off season I didn't have high expectations for the food, however it was surprisingly good and the staff was friendly and attentive but not overbearing.
