This restaurant is overpriced and portion sizes are small. When we arrived I. We were told they were out of several items. I had flounder with black eye peas which I thought was strange. The flounder had some sort of jam on it which was uncalled for. The black eye pies lacked flavor. My husband had a half portion of oysters and shrimp for 36.00 and had 6 shrimp and 6 oysters that were very small. Will not return. Another one hit wonder restaurant!

We've gone there twice recently for dinner on the way to Florida and really had friendly service they were willing to customize items such as key lime pie, adding whipped cream and deleting the raspberry sauce. We asked for a sharper knife and the server brought it to us immediately. Food was delicious and at both visits we were given excellent service by smiling and happy servers. It's a great place for dinner.

I would describe our experience here as meh. I had been hearing for a while from many people about how great this place was. We went into this restaurant experience with high expectations.
First, the location is great. It’s very scenic and has a warm inviting appeal. The building is up on stilts with what looks like a party area underside. There’s also a dock as well where you can walk out and enjoy the view of the intercostal. We sat outside on the deck area. It was very comfortable, and clean.
We wanted to start with an appetizer, so we chose the crab cake. For the price that was on the menu, I expected this to be enough for both of us. We got one little crabcake with some lettuce, and that was it. Very underwhelmed, although the crab cake was quite delicious. We felt a bit duped by appetizer. For the main course, I ordered the whole fried flounder, and my wife ordered the scallops. The flounder was excellent, but the sides left something to be desired. This was supposed to come with Jasmine rice, and I don’t know what that rice actually was. The rice was exploded like it had been either way over cooked or was an instant rice, and it definitely didn’t have a jasmine rice flavor to it. The other side was Black Eyed Peas, and those as well seem like they may have been premade or canned, but not fresh. They just did not taste right. My wife scallops also were very good, but the same issues with her sides. She did not eat the rice. We did not order a dessert. My wife had a drink as well that she thought was OK. Overall, for the price we paid, we felt we should’ve been wowed a bit more. The wow factor just wasn’t there. I get that a lot of the attraction is the location so there’s a plus for that. This just doesn’t seem like a place that could be a regular event for us

The food tasted okay, but the service was borderline terrible. It took 15 minutes to get a double shot on the rocks no mix, oh wait that was the first 20min. Bc after the first 20min she came back to say they didn't have the brand I requested. I asked for whatever she knew they had in hopes that it would be expedited. The food was way over priced for the size of the portions. A $50 platter that would feed 2 ppl anywhere else didn't satisfy me as we had to stop somewhere on the way home. The server was a little mouthy and didn't fill requests in a timely manner, all the while seeming as if I inconvenienced her. The atmosphere is very nice it looks almost formal but it's not (I assure ya). If you get roasted shrimp you end up with a big bowl of jasmine rice 2 asparagus sticks and about 6 shrimp ($27 plate 🫤). When you pull up, if it's dark parking is almost impossible to find because of zero lighting. I will most certainly not be returning to this particular establishment. Out of 10 its a 2½ for me, And that's basically because it was very clean and well kept.

Reservations required. Better yet, don't make one. Take your money somewhere else where your customer service is appreciated. Terrible experience!
We are on a sailing trip from virgina to flordia, and are from Washington state. We arrived early as per some locals who told us about them, while waiting at the dock for them to open around 3pm they open at 5pm they called the sheriff office and game warden on us despite us wanting to eat there. Awful customer service based on that.

I had the shrimp and grits, they were ok but really lacked flavor. Good and the portions size was good but the flavor. Just a bit boring. The scallops were very good.
The service was outstanding. She was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was beautiful. The views were amazing
All in all a very nice experience and I will be back and I will try something new. Many thanks

Food is delicious. We normally love eating here but tonight I had reservations for the “dining room” at 6pm. We were there right at 6 and the hostess started leading us out onto the deck. I told her that we would like to eat inside and showed her the reservation. She said that it was first come, first serve for inside, and we left. Really disappointed.
