Pork chops were pink. I was told after the fact that's how they cook them. My wife liked her shrimp fettuccine. Son did not like his chicken parm. So 2 out of 3 did not like.
Very good will go back
Steak filet was chewy, fish excellent, service fantastic.
Parking was near a smelly dumpster that grossed me out but then every preconceived thought of where we were going changed as we entered in the restaurant. There were 9 of us today after a day at Devils den. Not dressed to the nines but very casual after swimming earlier but the staff was professional and not judgmental like maybe a few looks we got from the locals, but what an AMAZING MEAL!!!
Every one of us said it was incredible! The fresh grouper is the best I have ever had and I am a Florida resident. Spectacular burger, fries, chicken Alfredo, kids quesadillas and ohhhhh the green beans!!! Chefs kiss!!!! Shane the server was amazing as well!
My aunt and uncle have been eating here for years. I have been able to eat here a time or two myself, all the way from AZ. The food is fresh and delicious. Tracy is the absolute best, treating my aunt and uncle like royalty
A little pricey, but good food & on the water.
Great home cooked food. Never disappoints. Awesome service. Fresh seafood and terrific burgers
We have driven the hour and a half to dine here several times, and I have to say though the food and service are good it is terribly expensive. I was also surprised that this high end restaurant had several (obviously not service) dogs allowed in the dining room. The main dining room was recently repainted but it looked like a child did it as it was a very messy job. Detracted from the otherwise pleasant ambiance. I doubt we will return.
highly recommend! very warm comfortable atmosphere and the service was amazing. food was delicious and the portions did not leave you wanting.
Great food, great service!! We'll be back!!

This hurts my heart to write. This area has been through so much, but this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. It was my dad’s birthday and I so wanted it to be special. My mom and I arrived 10 minutes early for our 6 pm reservation hoping to get a cocktail at the bar, but was told our table was ready, so we sat. We were one of two tables currently seated in the restaurant. 10 minutes later the 3 other members of our party (including my 5 year old) arrived and we still had not been greeted let alone served water. A few more tables had now arrived and had gotten drinks-still no server. 6:15 finally we get drinks and one of us gets a water, our server Todd asks us to wait to order until he has gotten the next tables drink order. 7 minutes go by, the table now has their drinks and we still haven’t ordered. In the meantime, tables seated after us have food! The server lets us know about food items they are out of, and we finally order. The restaurant is now mostly full with several tables already eating. I ordered the pork chops topped with bacon wrapped shrimp with cheesy grits, Dad gets pork chops with Demi glacé, mom got grilled grouper, son got shrimp nachos. My pork “chops” was actually pork loin smothered in mushrooms. I despise mushrooms and would’ve sent it back had our server bothered to check on us. The loin was over cooked and dry. My dads pork “chops” was also a dried out over cooked loin and served with watery mushrooms. The cheesy grits were undercooked and devoid of any flavor. The shrimp nachos were cold, and the cheese sauce was more like cheese paste over soggy cold fried shrimp. At no point did our server bother to check on us or our food. He did let us know that he wasn’t worried when we said we weren’t happy after asking for the bill. After 2 hours my 5 year old was a now up past 8 on a school night and we’ve got a half hour drive home and still waiting for the bill. I am so disappointed and sad for my dad.
Thinking of you guys, hope all of you are safe from Helene.
I was pleasantly surprised!!! The owner/wait staff are on point; however, they could really use a real BARTENDER. The food prep and quality are excellent, and the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing. Did I mention the bartender could use some formal training. Drinks suck unless you order beer in the bottle.
