Our host sat us right away, drinks were fabulous, and all the meals were absolutely amazing! (I had the caribbean grilled swordfish.) My mom had been here with her parents in college in the early 80s and clearly Casey is carrying the mantle well. Thank you especially to our server, Rachel!“

Don’t sleep on the salad because they have some real gems. Philly egg rolls are my favorite app too. The best quality is how friendly they are and it truly is a local vibe. I had my mother’s mercy meal there and everything was done with care and to perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate her life.

“I had such an incredible time eating here, and everything was seriously top-notch from start to finish. The view of the water made the meal feel even more special, and the seafood tasted like it was caught just moments before hitting my plate. It is rare to find a spot that balances such a welcoming, homey atmosphere with high-quality ingredients so perfectly. I am already looking forward to planning another trip back just to sit outside and enjoy the view again.“
