Amazing atmosphere. Our waiter was very patient and attentive. Very polite and helpful. Food is amazing for the price. I feel it’s fair to say they have one of the best steaks in the area. I will go back.

We’ve been here several times and what sums it up is it’s priced as fine dining, but the food is extremely hit or miss, and even as a hit it’s far from exceptional. There aren’t a ton of options here so we have kept going back, looking to find ‘our place’ when we wanted cozy cocktails and perfectly cooked seafood and steaks. We give. We will not be back.

Our new go-to place for exceptional local dining. We were warmly welcomed upon arriving and experienced attentive hospitality throughout our dinner. The general manager and the owners engaged with us to ensure we had everything we needed. The wait staff were equally impressive as were our meals. Hands-down the best crab-cakes ever! Impressive bar and wine list! I can't wait for the new expansive bar to open! The roof-top bar has the best views on the island! A true four-season experience for locals and guests alike on our little island paradise!

Dietary restrictions: The kitchen is very accommodating. When booking reservations online there is a place to add dietary restrictions and special occasions so the staff is prepared for a personalized experience!

For a high end restaurant I was disappointed in the variety on the menu and the quality of service. The food was very salty and very pricey. The service was very poor and the server added gratuity to ensure a tip for the poor service. The company we were with was the best part of the evening.

Impressed with finding this great restaurant in a small beach town. The food was delicious! We had a mishap and our food was given to a table behind us. The error was found quickly and we were notified. The manager came out to personally apologize and offered us a dessert on the house, so 5-stars for the service. The floor plan is open, so it was a bit noisy but that’s not enough to deter us from going again.Parking: We were there on a Thursday around 5:30p. We did have reservations but no issue finding parking. The lot isn’t big, so it’s possible that parking may be an issue during busier nights.

After coming to Caribsea many times and thoroughly enjoying the food and service, our recent visit was disappointing. A number of items, including the Shrimp Scampi with many shrimp and the delicious pecan pie were not on the menu. Is there a chance these items will return to the menu? The total number of stars at the top reflects our disappointment with the menu.
