The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and Jay is a great guy! Highly recommend that you stop in......get the warm crab dip you will not regret it!

Grouper was delicious!

Steamed crab legs were delicious, you get a decent portion for the price and the butter made it even better. We also got the crab bisque which was very flavorful. Loved the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant too!
