way over priced won't go back had the crab dip app $20 was like a thick soup 🤢

Really awful service. Staff was so rude. Especially the hostess. We went without drinks for most of our meal. Food was not worth the price. We definitely will not be going back.

Went by this afternoon and the service was pretty terrible. Couldn’t keep our drinks full, had to remind our waitress multiple times about bar drinks, they never showed up. We asked the hostess for refills after our waitress disappeared and she said “I’m not in charge, sorry”. We ordered snow crabs, very expensive and very overcooked. We won’t be going back. 2/10 is overly generous.

Not happy at all with our service this afternoon. Couldn’t get the waitress’ attention, so we went most of our meal with no drinks. Tried to get the hostess to help and she said “I’m not in charge, sorry”. Will not be going back. 0/10 would be too generous.

Bad/rude service by hostess, ignored by our waitress, never checked our drinks. Food was sub par for the price. Will not be going back.

It was our first visit to this restaurant. We're extremely happy we took the time to check it out. My husband decided to try the Red Drum fish ? I tried the Cajun Shrimp pasta? both were DELICIOUS ??. Our waitress(Athena) was Awesome. We will stop in again

The food was excellent. However, before I could eat any of mine I became nauseated after a refill on my tea. There had to have been something on the glass. I spent some time in the bathroom after which I felt better. I told our waiter but he just insisted it wasn't from anything at the restaurant. I know it was. He took the tea off our bill and packaged my food to go. Once home I ate some food and it was delicious and I was fine. If your drink has a salty taste and it's not supposed to ... Don't drink it!

Love the atmosphere. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and took real good care of us. The crab bisque was good. We plan on returning.

You really should make it a point to dine at this lovely restaurant, because it is that good! You will leave so full and so relaxed. ?
Sit outside to enjoy the water view at sunset, if you can. The food is outstanding!
The servers and bartenders are top notch. All staff were friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the menu.
And the SEAFOOD! Fresh seafood, oh my, prepared so well.
With an outdoor Tiki bar, and live music outside on the enormous deck on weekends when possible, what is not to love?!
Grab your friends, make a short trip, eat great food, and catch a vibe. You'll be hooked too! ???
