Still a dependable seafood restaurant after many, many years. Food can be spotty on some occasions, but it's overall a good choice if you want to feel like you're at the coast.

This place is one of the most consistent restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. I’ve been on expensive accounts all over this country and even outside of the country but day in and day out squids is one of the best and most consistent meals I’ve ever had.The staff is always friendly. The food is fresh perfectly cooked and everyone makes sure you enjoy your meal.Simply said - a very well run operation with great food and very consistent.
This was an excellent find while traveling! Peter our server was so informative and pleasant. He made the dinner even more enjoyable and so helpful! The food was absolutely delicious! The scallops melt in your mouth. Overall definitely suggest if in the area! Will return when in area.

Arrived early, at 4:30, when it opened. Seated quickly. Love the fish tanks. Love the hush puppies. Offering honey butter would make it even better. I had a cup of Seafood chowder. It was very good. Savory. No complaints. I ordered the Trout Modena for my entrée. Others ordered the grilled Salmon, Horseradish encrusted Tilapia and 14oz Ribeye. We agreed mine was the best fish. All fish dishes were cooked perfectly. But mine, with the sauce and pecans was best. The Polenta, or grit cakes were yummy!! We also had Key Lime Pie and a piece of mud cake. We were happy with everything.
Good seafood, good service, good atmosphere. Very reasonable price. Average wine selection.

..older crowd, food was fresh. Trout was really good. Ribeye was cooked perfectly but missing a bit of flavor...Parking: Parking is a bit tight at peak hours..
An institution in Chapel Hill. Excellent food and service. The best hush puppies!

Ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs. They were great. Boiled exactly right and flavorful.Also ordered the 1.25lb lobster. It was tough and chewy, perhaps over boiled. Didn’t prefer it but was able to enjoy my plates of crab legs.Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free
