Mahi Mahi was fantastic and portion size larger than expected.
I didn't care for the ordering process, but otherwise service was good.

Nice atmosphere in the afternoon. Crab cake sandwich was good. They even brought a bowel of water for the dog !
Surprise!!!! No indoor seating!!! But it was ok, just be prepared to know your order BEFORE you get to the counter to place the order and pay. Food was very good though and it was a beautiful day. I do not know what they do if it rains?!

Amazing spot! Order at the window and it comes to your seat. Everything we had was outstanding!
Highlights included the Tuna and apps! Drinks were all very tasty as well. Can’t beat the views either!!!

The view is wonderful. The food is subpar for the most part or at best just average even though on the pricier side ($30-$35). On the other hand, the Sesame Tuna appetizer was excellent. Probably the only good plate out of 8 different dishes. Drinks were watered down. But it has a great view for the sunset

Read signs prior to entering and we were turned off by their cold, harsh, unwelcoming nature. Why not just put a grumpy old ogar at the door same attitude. We walked away from this one

Ok, this is a great place to eat. Hear me out. But there were a few things that could be improved upon!
PROS:
- GREAT view
- loved my Crab Cakes
- IPA was great
- great lawn out front for families and frolicking
- sunset was beautiful
CONS:
- ordering experience was intense. You need to be ready at the counter and they are all business. But they prepare you for it with signs and menus. I think a lot of people come through this place, so kudos on the efficiency factor. But the guy taking our order was intense and not super friendly.
- my husbands fish was overcooked.

The food here is fantastic. I had a grilled tuna burger and it was the best I've ever had. The staff is nice and the gentleman working the tables help us with a mistake we made ordering - super kind. The facilities are spotless and modern - definitely will come back!

Food is amazing. Seating is outdoors and can get a little warm in the afternoon sun but not terrible. Will be going here again when we're back down.

I laughed out loud when I read a prior post from someone else here about Seinfeld’s “Soup Nazi.”
I literally felt this way. The sign at the door prompted you to read the menu and BE READY TO ORDER UPON ENTRY. (Maybe add more than two outside menus?)
In getting to the counter it felt like it was a no questions asked gig. Order and get out of the way. This is fine for drinks but for an entree with sides it felt crazy rushed.
Now to the good.
The food was excellent. We had 4 in our party (two teenage girls with us) and the blackened mahi was delicious. The prime rib was perfect and the chicken fajitas were a hit.
Beer selection was limited but each was a good selection.
The outside patio (no indoor seating) was covered if you found a spot and they also had some in the back lawn. Table seating is outdoor picnic style tables.
It was cool to watch the kite surfers and the atmosphere and music was good.
Recommend if you don’t mind the weird ordering process that feels rushed. “No soup for you!”
Removed a star solely because of the rushed ordering process.
