First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!

We go everytime Contraband plays their usually 3 of us dinner & drinks. Well a couple of weeks ago things changed, usually we get a table reserved, but now we were told no ok they gave us a table behind the bar. Well we got dinner & drinks now their was 3 tables empty just us. Now our waitress came to us & said you got to pay up now their is only 2hr limit What!!!!!! our bill was over $ 125. So now we had to go where band was playing I'm disable I can't sit or get up on those lime green plastic stools. So I left we won't be coming back, after all the yrs going their this was the first time.
Parking: Have a new car 2025 car only 2 handicapped parking road around 45 minutes to get a parking space 2 blocks away & I use a Walker to help me walk.

I have never had a bad meal here! Food is delicious. They have a young staff that is very attentive. Being on the bay is a bonus. They have a Tiki Bar for adults and entertainment at night. They built sand dunes and made dining area hard to see the bay, however this will not stop us from going. This is a must stop, you won't regret it!!
Enjoyed nice breezes and beers, but no more ocean vibe that used to go well with blue interior.
❎️Pie Mussles-Very salty marinara sauce and soggy baguette. ✅️Yo bro calamari-A big serving of calamari with some veggies and sweet & sour taste-like sauce. Personally, I'd add some jalapeño peppers, but good in general. But served in a paper plate... ✅️The Crab Sandwich - what could be wrong with the sandwich(easy to make) but an extra $2 charged for fries?! ❎️ Seafood Saute - lots of seafood in a bowl. However, they should put more effort into the presentation!! I felt like I got leftover seafood penne after the party? scallops weren't seasoned and generally bland taste.
The server was kind, but slow service. Not sure if I wanna come back.

Great place to come grab a summer lunch or dinner by the water in a friendly fun environment!
My experience dining here was ok. The food and service could’ve been a little better but you come here more for the ambiance.
