I had the pleasure of trying their calamari, which was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The ahi tuna tacos were another standout; fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, they were a true testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality.

For the main course, I opted for the flat iron steak, and it did not disappoint. Cooked to perfection, the steak was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor.

Went here for our anniversary and left disappointed. Waited 50 minutes to get our appetizers which weren't great. My fiance's steak was cooked very unevenly and my scallops were just ok. Our drinks were so heavily poured that it was difficult to enjoy them. The only good thing about our meal were the desserts. Definitely not worth the price.

First time at this restaurant, food and drinks were absolutely AMAZING! The French onion chicken and crab cakes were delicious as well at the cheesecake and firecracker shrimp! I loved my mango margarita and my espresso martini! Can't wait to visit again

I've passed by this restaurant for so many years and never went in and finally decided to try it. We had an excellent experience. The wait staff was excellent. The food was amazing and service was great. I had the French onion chicken and it was outstanding. I highly recommend This restaurant.

Was not happy with my meal. Blackened shrimp was not blackened but the lemon pasta sure was. There wasn't a hint of lemon and the pasta was gummy and seasoned with blackening spices. Not good. The description on the menu did not match the plate. My daughter's was very good-seafood pasta, but could have used more sauce. It was dry. The ambiance is nice and our waitress was terrific. Also, I like bread with my meal. I heard two other tables request bread. What's up with that? Key Lime was delicious. I will try again because most of what was leaving the kitchen looked amazing but not too soon.

Corn & Lobster dip does not meet the name. There is zero lobster, not even lobster flavor. Crispy wings were excellent.

Wow! Located on Bridge Ave on Point Pleasant this small spot has the most delicious food and drink around. The menu has a bit of everything and everything is good! Signature cocktails are incredible - recommend the "hot & dirty" martini. Put this spot on your restaurant list! For us shore people, it's open year round.
