The relaxed atmosphere and friendly service are great for going with friends or family. The appetizers are tasty and the sautéed raw salmon salad with green leaves and mango is delicious. I recommend this dish.

Always a great meal! Tuna is excellent. Their fish & chips has no equal anywhere in town. All the servers are friendly and courteous. Great value! I shouldn't tell y'all this ... it's getting hard enough to get a table. Enjoy!

Lauren was a great server! Was kinda surprised to see dinner available only after 5. Food was alright. Nothing super exciting but wasn't disappointed either. All things considered, it was fine for a post Wormsloe place but I assume the place is bumpin' on Saturday with live music

Let’s talk about the food first: it’s absolutely phenomenal. The Black n Blue Chicken Salad with blue cheese dressing was perfectly balanced and full of flavor, and the Shrimp & Grits were creamy and downright heavenly. The day's special Grouper Sandwich (your choice of grilled, blackened, or fried) was fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection. Our appetizers, the Crab Dip and Fried Green Tomatoes, were a huge hit at our table—just the right amount of indulgence to start the meal off right. And the Parmesan Grouper with grilled shrimp over asparagus and red potatoes? A work of art. Every dish we tried was spot-on, from the seasoning to the presentation.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere here is something special. The back patio is a hidden gem—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for unwinding with a great meal. Inside, the decor is a feast for the eyes, with large beach murals, stained glass marine life, lush plants, and whimsical touches like gnomes and painted birds on the ceiling. It’s fun, artsy, and full of personality, creating a coastal vibe that’s both relaxed and inviting.
Whether you’re enjoying the cozy indoor seating, the lively bar area, or the tranquil patio, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. It’s clear that every detail, from the menu to the ambiance, has been carefully curated to create a memorable experience.
If you’re looking for fresh, delicious food served with a side of charm, this is the spot. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Consistently some of the best food we’ve had in this area. The Wayne is currently one of my favorite dishes. The first time I ordered it, I had flashbacks to one of our favorite meals on Maui from our honeymoon. Just delicious! We are lucky to have this place just minutes from our house.
