The food was.. interesting. Some good, some just okay. The service was absolutely terrible and it was not busy at all. Won’t be coming back.
So I was in last night Wed 11/13/24. I own where this restaurant is located and I get good service in general but last night my server was excellent and so was the oyster shucker. She was there when I needed her and not hovering over me when I wanted be alone. Firstly she was a bartender not a server. Th oysters I enjoyed were pure bliss, just as described. The lamb cassoulet ( I’ve had before) is irish quality my Nan would make. I’m taking so much gorgeous lamb it was a meal. The tuna poke was executed beautifully. If you don’t enjoy at least two oyster shooters every visit then I can’t help you. I drive in to work on my investment properties and I either go straight there after 3 hrs in the car or after long days doing work. I do most of my own painting, decor and general upkeep. I just want some excellent food, top tier service and the check. Y’all were on point and firing on all cylinders last night and I want you to know it’s always appreciated!

A really mediocre meal. Got fish tacos and they were maybe the worst I've had. Two for $17. Just uninspired. Service was awful. When a server looks at your empty glass, asks if you need anything and you haven't noticed your glass empty then doesn't bring you anything for 15 minutes, it is unacceptable. Also, very limited seafood choices for a place with this name. This place seems like maybe it was good once but they've been phoning it in for sometime. The kitchen and wait staff seem to feel that way.

We arrived after a long roadtrip and after 10 hours of driving non-stop and we went to eat a little something before arriving at our motel and the little 20 minutes we were there was really great and the food was incredibly fresh and tasty!!!

We went there by chance and have returned several times. Sparkling views of the yacht harbor are wonderful. I really like the house salad vinaigrette. It's loaded with herbs and just enough peppery heat. I'm a sucker for fried oysters (or any oyster) and their entree is great. I am not sure who could possibly eat the mountain of fries!
It is not fine dining by any stretch. However it is good food and good service.
Note to their landlord. The lobby and stairwell is nasty and sticky. I wouldn't buy a condo in this community

Dealt well with all types of people coming into restaurant environment, never seemed bothered or tried to rush customers. Five star review to this wait staff member!

My friend and I came in to get oysters. We came in closer to closing, which can be annoying. The staff was really nice about it. Our waitress Shannon was phenomenal. She genuinely made our night.

Would love to share about the food but we never got seated. We spoke with the hostess and she said she’d be happy to seat us in five minutes and proceeded to roll silverware with napkins. In that time we saw her sit a different couple down by handing them menus and pointing them to a table, only to continue rolling napkins after. We also saw the bartender sneeze, wipe with his hand, use a napkin to blow his nose, and then make three drinks without washing his hands. I can’t recommend much about this place, as we left shortly after.
