Good vibe; horrible service. One of us never got a drink as she never asked.

What a hidden gem! 🌊🦀
A small, off-the-beaten-path local spot with real character. We had amazing stone crab, super-fresh oysters (raw only, just the way they should be), and a bright, refreshing conch salad, perfectly paired with a well-chosen Sauvignon Blanc.

The restaurant is connected to a seafood market and distributor, so the freshness is unbeatable. The owners are incredibly friendly, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the vibe is relaxed with great music playing in the background. You instantly feel at home.
The setting is simple, authentic, and very local. Arrive by boat if you can — it’s part of the experience! There’s also a cool paddle/diving shop next door worth checking out.
This is a local place that truly deserves to be better known.

I loved the experience and would 100% recommend it.

Fun laid back outdoor bar right along the canal. Staff was friendly and even remembered us when we came back a second time. Cold drinks and good food. There was even a manatee swimming in the canal behind us

There’s nothing more disappointing than walking into a restaurant hoping for a good meal, only to be met with subpar food and even worse service. Bad food quality isn’t just a matter of taste — it’s a reflection of carelessness, poor hygiene, and a lack of respect for customers. Whether it’s stale ingredients, undercooked meals, or food that looks nothing like what was promised, the experience is frustrating and sometimes even unsafe.

A hidden jem don't tell anyone best price on stone crab

Very disappointing. We were excited to go here for the SC’s. If the drink menu has a price on it you need to honor it. They clearly do not. Also when you ask specifically how much are the SC’s before you order them then you need to be charged EXACTLY that nothing more. Unfortunately they practice bait and switch when is bad business!! Change your menus to reflect the prices you charge and be honest with customers. Also 4% fee for using a CC is ridiculous!!

BEST place we've had stone crab! (And they were only $4 each!)Love the location, food, service, and atmosphere! It's right next door to a kayaking store. Sit outside and watch the fish market next door dump left overs of fish in the canal and see the frenzy of nurse sharks eat it! So cool!!

Amazing place. Great atmosphere right on the water. We sat there for about an hr watching manatees playing in the canal. Staff were great. You have to try the stone crab.
