Great little seafood joint. The oysters were the best we’ve ever had and the blue crab bisque was exquisite! Fresh salads and service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Our second visit and it was great both times. I had the special--Grouper crusted crab and it was delicious. I had gotten a tossed salad that I sent back because it was wilted and rusty. The chef came out and apologized, removing the charge. My husband a Spinach salad with the crab cake that was tasty. We return again. Great and friendly service, cute place to eat

Really good service and food. We got the crab cakes with the wrapped green beans and fried onion rings and the Cajun oysters with cheese grits with the crab bisque as an appetizer. All was really good, would definitely recommend and come back!

Amazing service by our server, Chelsea! Prompt, friendly and helpful. Food was amazing! Started with plump, ice cold delicious oysters on the half shell, followed by tuna tacos and crab cakes. Both delicious and well prepared. Do not leave here without trying the butter cake!!! We plan to be here for four weeks. Will definitely return!!PS very pet friendly as well!! Our Golden Retriever loved it there!

Our food and service were great aside from the wait prior to being seated. It was raining the day we came here and some of the wait staff were kind of rude to not only us, to others who were waiting to be seated. It was raining and there was no place to stand around out of the rain. They should have a better spot to have folks waiting to be seated that has chairs as one of the other parties had a woman using oxygen and a walker.

I had the oysters which were fantastic! My friend has had the catch of the day on two separate occasions and loved it both times. Great seafood near the pier surrounded by several lovely shops, great place to stop by.
