Perfect seating ~ lots of light & view of the water.Unusual preparation of calamari, not the usual tempura batter, but very tasty, & healthy, with shredded carrots, chopped celery & radish. The shrimp salad on croissant was delicious as usual, and cream of crab 🦀 soup ~ delivered in error and kindly offered to us to keep ~ was one of the best I've had ~ creamy, not too spicy. Only ‘complaint' was the prickly pear margarita was in a very small cocktail...

Our dinner reservations were for 4:30, Thursday afternoon. Restaurant area was quiet and inviting. When we finished our dinner, 6:30pm, restaurant was full but not overly loud. Our group of four enjoyed our dinner! Food was excellent; we had butternut squash crab soup, cream of crab soup, shrimp croissant, crab cake sandwich, and steamed shrimp. Service was excellent and friendly.

A very pleasant place where the staff tries to please the customer. The food is consistently very good. This is a restaurant that is tucked into a very pleasant neighborhood on the water. The diner is guaranteed to enjoy their visit.
