Making reservations ensured we had a booth by the windows with a sunset view of the water. Fresh oysters followed by soft shell crabs were delicious and our waitress was great! We'll be back.

This is one of our go-to spots! We love the fact that we can sit by the water and feel like we’ve escaped to a tropical getaway. It all gets better when the food and service are top notch!

Food looked amazing and it was good, I was a little disappointed with my risotto but the salmon was really good so probably I should have just sticked with seafood. The restaurant is cute but upstairs it gets very noisy and, if you are hard to hear like me, it made it a little difficult to talk so maybe grab a seat outside if the weather is nice!
Overall it was a nice experience.
