Somewhat disappointed with the meal. The lettuce in the salad was turning brown and the rolls were rather dry. The shrimp in the shrimp scampi were large, but nothing really special about the preparation. The accompanying broccoli was too crunchy for my taste. On the plus side, the service was very good.

Fish was cooked well but underseasoned - oysters weren't briney. Asparagus was probably frozen, not fresh at all, not a vivid green, pale and unseasoned. Rice was likely premade pilaf from GFS. Crab cake was a saving grace. For the price, I wouldn't go back.

This place makes the gold standard best crabcake away from a coast. If it was ONLY crabcake, I would give it five stars. My dining companions have also enjoyed their meals. The cheesecake or key lime pie is a perfect little treat to share at the end of the meal. What else can I say? I haven't ordered anything but crabcakes since my long search for perfection has finally come true. Take a person who loves seafood. From fried sandwiches to fancy steaks, I've heard this place serves other stuff besides crabcakes, too.

The old-style charm of the bar and dining area enhances the experience, but the food, drink, and service were mediocre. Seems to be a welcoming space for regulars, but after a few visits, it's not likely I'll become one.

I hesitate posting this as it is still a relatively unknown gem, but some of the best meat and fish in the city for crazy prices!

Great food and service. Heather did a great job as our server! Highly recommend oysters Rockefeller, crab cakes, prime rib and grouper. Excellent experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful meal. 👍😊

It was GREAT! I had the fresh caught Grouper, blackened, loaded bake potato, salad and asparagus. $26, it took me back to Florida seafood. Absolutely delicious. The service was great, too. Just had water to drink, but my glass was never empty. And very friendly. The atmosphere is nautical. My daughter had the salmon dinner. She loved it. We will definitely go back. Highly recommend.

I love this place. The food is good, I come here a lot.
However, I’ve had 2–3 bad experiences with the female servers. They’re really rude, mean, and treat our table differently from others. They only try to be nice when we ask for the check. Only one lady is nice to us.

One of our regular haunts and never fails. Always great, fresh seafood and cut to order steaks on top of many other options from pork ribs to prime rib.

We are at the bar-Shawn was the bartender and he was great! Service was awesome and food was phenomenal! I had the halibut- best I've ever had. Had had surf & turf and said it was delicious. Friendly clientele who are regulars. Worth the wait if you don't get there when they open!

Do not let the fact that this restaurant is in a strip mall. It is one of the best places in Columbus. It is a UA landmark, with great food.
