This restaurant was recommended by our driver, but unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. The place felt like it could use some updates, and with the water at an extreme low tide, the smell outside was less than pleasant. The food was underwhelming—my shrimp was overcooked, and my son’s burger was as well. For the price, it just didn’t feel worth it. That said, I did enjoy the waterfront setting and the live music, which added a nice atmosphere to the evening.

Service and views were great and most peoples food in my party was also good BUT adding a 20% “service charge” out of nowhere?? Absolutely not.

Waited five minutes or longer for a drink order, twenty five minutes for a salad, a grilled cheese they messed up and had to send back and a DRY fish sandwich. Grilled cheese came back out sloppy and stuck together, kid said it was bland. The worst meal I have had all week was here. A fast food sandwich would be better. Keep your money...I wish I had of not eaten there and gotten up and left after the first four minutes of watching 8 staff walk by and not acknowledge us....don't ask for another chance, I'd love my check refunded but that is an 80 dollar lesson for myself.

The food is way way too much and I felt like I wanted to gag after every bite of my food and the only good thing was the fries and they were mid

Absolutely enjoyed the restaurant and atmosphere. Food and drinks were excellent. Elena took good care of us. Look forward to coming back again.

We were sat in the direct sun. Our cocktails sat half full because the heat had melted all of the ice, the ice in our waters had melted. We asked the manager to move us to another table (the restaurant was not full-not at all. Maybe 5 tables outside had customers. The manager said there’s sun at all the tables. We were literally sweating through our clothes. We showed her open tables with no sun and agin she said well there’s some sun. I continued to show her open tables and she stood there and uttered “uhhhhh” until my friend said, we’ll eat our dinner (that just arrived) and leave. We couldn’t finish our dinner because we were so hot, our drinks were hot. I would never recommend dining at this restaurant. Not worth spending over $200 to sit in a sauna. Honestly I could not believe how we were treated. We tried to move our table twice closer to the shade without infringing on the table next to us that was in full shade. We had looked forward to a wonderful evening-need to do a lot better. Inexcusable.

We did not have a good experience at all. Appetizers and entree served at the same time. Looked old and not fresh, fries were cold. We sat inside and probably would have been cooler outside. Would not go back.

Right at the river so your view was spectacular. Food was good and the service was nice as well. Will go back.

The restaurant is in a beautiful place and I enjoyed the beers and atmosphere. We went for the half priced oysters, but the oysters were improperly shucked and had shells and grit in most of them. My partner finished the oysters but I could only manage 3 before I was tired of chomping on shell pieces. The watermelon vinegar was delightful.

A charming little wharf with a restaurant—visited as it was the starting point for the dolphin tours. Decided to have lunch here and we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious vegetarian dishes, like the corn ribs and pimento cheese. The service was quick, and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the waterfront. Ryan, who served us, was very attentive and hospitable. On our way out, we noticed a setup for live music, which would have been lovely to stay for, but we had to leave. Overall, a delightful experience!

I can only imagine the positive reviews are for their view. Their host staff did not greet us upon entry. The host did not offer a high chair or kids menu for small children. Waitress was very prompt in getting the items to us. It was a very slow time- 4pm on a Wednesday. Our food came out cold. Requested the food be brought out fresh and were given the same batch of lukewarm fries. Money would be better spent getting McDonald’s to go and eating along the water somewhere. It would be a comparable experience. This is low class dining at best.

Terrible food, old fries, no utensils, fryer oil is old, and prices are high. Im normally pretty generous, but this place is just awful.

Was a very busy night. There was a moderate wait for service. The manager was great to come over to help us. Fish and sandwich plates were all good. Recommend.
