Found this hidden gem as we were looking for a dog friendly place. Kerri our server was very nice. Food was good including the Buddy burger for our furry boy. Atmosphere was excellent. However we decided to get an after dinner drinks for dessert. My husband got a peanut butter mudslide and I got an espresso martini- it was not good - watery. When Kerri checked in I told her I did not like the espresso martini and could not drink it- she took it way. When the bill arrived it was included ($13). I called over the hostess as he walked by and said I sent back my drink and I would think that it would’ve been taken off the bill. He was very polite and said ok I will be back- well who came back was apparently the manager who was also the the inside bartender who made it. She proceeded to say hi -so you have a question- I said no I don’t have a question- I returned my drink and I thought it would be taken off the bill as I did not drink it because it was not good. She went into defensive mode stating the ingredients are listed on the menu and unless we messed up that’s how it’s made. Really? I said fine we will pay the bill. She went on to say no I will take it off but it’s our policy not to- she went on and on - over $13 ! Terrible customer service by this manager - again our server Kerri was great. To have the manager come over to us and be confrontational is unacceptable . It ruined what was up until she came over to us a perfectly pleasant evening

Place is nice. Staff is very friendly. Fried calamari were the best. Very spicy and delicious. We noticed a change in the menu. Fried Calamari. Very nice had the option to sit outside.

Just thought it was so cute by the water and the boat yard like that. Great menu with new ideas. Fresh food and well prepared. I can't wait to go back! Will be telling my friends...

I don't typically take the time to write bad reviews - but I'm truly confounded by all the great food reviews. I am writing this so YOU don't have to make the same mistake we did The stuffies were not hot, had clearly just been microwaved (no crispy top or lemon wedge) and the carrots and onion in them were uncooked. The calamari was soggy from the sauce on it (thought they'd be served crispy with sauce on the side because WHO likes soggy calamari??). The rice with dinner was cool and not fresh and the vegetable on the side was their corn and jalapeno salad, the chicken was meh. The server was great, and the location is fabulous. Maybe it's just a drinking and hamburger kind of place, which is fine, if that's what we were expecting Don't make the same mistake we did, try somewhere else.

Came here to check out a musician playing one night. Had an amazing, fresh and tasty Caribbean salad, and the fish and chips were perfect. Sat outside with the view of the marina.

Food was good but the hostess ruined the whole experience by being rude and difficult when all we wanted to do is not sit in the sun. She should not be working in the hospitality business. The manager came out but basically spent her time defending the hostess rather than listening to us. But Alexander our server was fantastic and in my mind should be the front of the house manager. He obviously has a service mentality which is essential when you are in restaurant industry. He saved the evening that the hostess tried to ruin.

The location and the ambience of the restaurant is absolutely lovely. However, the quality of the food was unfortunately very disappointing. The fish and the chicken tenders were burnt, the chowder had a strange vinegar flavor, and the hush puppies were extremely bland. I hate leaving a bad review, but it was always extremely underwhelming. The drinks were good, and our waitress, however, was wonderful.

Manager was rude with an issue we brought up regarding our drinks. She was nasty and told us to be sure we took care of the waitress. We are excellent tippers and that was a rude comment to make and unnecessary. We are all hospitality professionals and would never go back.

A favorite restaurant. Love the food options and the general vibe. My only issue this visit was the waiter - brought requested items to table piecemeal or not at all (like second drinks or condiments.) Probaby new... Typically all the staff is top notch.
