Great place to bring friends. Good food and service and if the outside is inclement then the inside is fun too.
Friday night and we probably could have walked in at 7. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The portions were generous and the prices reasonable. I had grilled mahi and the wife had fish and chips. She remarked she really liked the light batter on the fish. The fries were awesome. Thick cut seasoned really well. I liked them. My mahi was a nice piece of fish for $22 with two sides. Grilled asparagus and smashed potatoes were excellent. I had an open table reservation and noted it was our anniversary and our waitress surprised us with a complimentary warm chocolate brownie which was so nice.
The music etc had been rained out so the place was very quiet but a great place given a normal evening

Always good service and good food. Special requests are done without hesitation. Salads and seafood done excellently.
Good place to eat with waiters very friendly and polite. It is hot inside even though it was 7Pm with air conditioner on. Outside they had live music and a bar with a great view of the marina.

This food was so delicious. Ordered takeout/delivery. Definitely will visit in person the next time I'm in the area. The Mahi Mahi salad was the best

We came in for a birthday dinner and the place was quiet. We ordered and the server let us know that making our fish entree Oscar style would eliminate our side and we would be charged for them. I am glad she did so we ordered as we planned Salmon dinner ($24) with 2 sides, add Oscar style for $9. Making the dinner come without sides. Later explained by management that when you add a topping to your entree those are your sides. This I don't unslderstand as I paid $9 to make my salmon Oscar style. Long story short I paid $ 33 for a serving of salmon Oscar style, then had to pay $5 for a small side of fries. Had I ordered a second side which the entrees are listed they come with I would have paid a total of atleast $43 for a salmon diner Oscar style with 2 sides. I feel this is out of the ordinary. Why paying additional money to top my fish should I then have to pay for sides to go with my entree? I also had a couple of birthday shots, lemon drops to be exact and honestly as a service worker myself they were awful. Definitely over poured and the sugar rim was as salty as can be. This was my first visit here, and was very disappointed by the time I left. I think management and owners should take a look at how things are being done as this is a place I would no longer visit in the future because of how you are charged, as I viewed this as a way of over charging fir a simple meal.

We went for a birthday diner, and I was a bit disappointed with how they run their menu. Long story short, the birthday boy got a salmon diner Oscar style. A salmon diner ($24) that includes 2 sides, he wanted Oscar style ($9) which has an upcharge (just fine) Then our server proceeds to tell use as he orders his sides, that they are not included because we got Oscar style. I was confused so I asked "Why this is?" She said well you got Oscar style, so it is considered sides and their computer system will not allow them to put the sides on once you add the topping. I was blown away as I was paying to make it that way. He couldn't eat his salmon with no side items. So we ordered a side to make his plate a " Meal" knowing we had to pay for it at this point even though we ordered an entree. Next came a couple of birthday shots. Lemon Drops to be exact. When they came to the table they were just awful. Way over poured, so they tasted like straight vodka, and the sugar rim was mostly salt. As the shots sat there pretty much untouched, we asked for our check. Upon getting it and looking things over we asked to speak with the manager as we wanted to understand the reason for the entree/side situation, and the awful shots, and i was a little shocked he didnt even stop by the table as slow as buisness was. He explained the same as the server and said it is just the way "it" is done when changing the style of the fish. It's considered your sides. So why do I have to pay for it, and don't get it in place of sides. Needless to say a $24 salmon entree ended up costing $38 with one side, would have been $43 if we got the 2 it should have come with (my mahi diner was $22), and we left the shots on the table. Just beware of what you order and how they charge, or you will be paying almost $50 for an entree that costs $25!
