Broiled seafood platter was a D. Fish over cooked and scallops under cooked. But the Fry guy nailed the jumbo shrimp. Perfect. Always like the galley salad with own specail pepper parm dressing. Funny thing is management does not understand the difference between a discount and sur charge.

The scallops and hushpuppies were excellent, shrimp were small. Fish plate and fries were excellent as well. Not a fan of the corn bread, too dried out.

Tucked away in an unassuming corner, this restaurant might look like a simple hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but don't let that fool you—it's a hidden gem for seafood lovers. The charm of this place lies in its cozy, laid-back atmosphere, where the decor is a blend of nautical trinkets and weathered wood that transports you straight to a quaint seaside town.

The seafood here is simply outstanding. Every dish bursts with freshness and flavor, whether it's their buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crab legs or the perfectly seasoned salmon. The oysters are also a must-try—ice cold, briny, and served with a zingy homemade mignonette sauce.

The staff are warm and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about your experience. They make you feel like you're part of a family gathering, sharing great food in a relaxed, casual setting. If you’re after an unforgettable seafood experience in an unexpected spot, this restaurant is a true find.

I took my wife there for her birthday. As everyone knows seafood is not cheap but I have to say that the food was very delicious. We got the "Pick 2" option. Trust me, it was enough food. The scallops are our favorite.

Parking: It's a large parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of handicap parking.

The fried flounder melts in your mouth and it’s a good portion. I wish this place was closer to me. The bad reviews are a joke

Our family ordered a variety of items from the menu. The prime rib was wonderful. The salmon was a huge portion and wonderful as well. The scallops were the best I have ever had along with the shrimp. Sides and hushpuppies were also great!
