We just had lunch here and it was amazing. The shrimp tacos are great and the slaw is amazing. I would highly recommend!

Decent food but a really fun atmosphere. It's right on a boat dock.

We tried this place for lunch last week. The service was slow and the food was not edible. We sent it back and promptly walked out never to return.We checked the Sarasota health department restaurant inspection website and found that this place was temporarily shut down and fined. Inspection failure reasons were many including live and dead roaches with their excrement visible. Eat there at your own risk!

Casual dining, cold beverages, all at the marina. Dog friendly on the outside patio. Friendly staff.Parking: Free parking, a few close spaces, most are a little walk.

Good for pub/bar food and the beer was cold! I'm always a little disappointed when I can't have something because they cross contaminate their friars. The onion rings look good at the other table but can't have it It's fried! Booo. (Seafood allergy) But in short I'm glad we stopped in for lunch on the way home!

Second time this restaurant seated us and forgot about our party! They need to step up their service.

Our party of six was seated promptly. Our waitress, a terrific woman named Brooklyn, was very attentive even though the place was jammed full! We all enjoyed our meals, but a highlight were the onion rings. They were perfect! We'll go back for sure. Brooklyn is a joy.

If zero was an option, that would have been chosen. Plenty of tables are available, but staff walks around like they are lost. Took us a party of 4, 15 minutes to be acknowledged at the server stand after one man jumped the line to be sat. Line was out the door behind us but staff didn't seem to care. After being acknowledged, host had to leave to clean a table for us. Needless to say it took him another 10 minutes to clean off a table for us along with 2 other tables. He was then side tracked and took trash out, organized menus at another desk and then finally got back to us. We sat down and no server ever came to our table for 15 minutes. Tables around us were sat and greeted with a server and drink order. This place seems to be very mismanaged. We decide to get up and walk out. I will never step foot in their doors again. Parking is very odd as well. TJ Carney's, on the other hand was amazing!
