Don't go in at 2pm because they'll huff and puff and act like you don't exist until they close at 3pm even though their sign outside says lunch is until 4pm.

Cold eggs overcooked, slow service, overpriced

Kimberly Nelson

Best fish tacos and bartender Paige!

Rhonda Wicker

Great food, fresh ingredients and excellent service. Atmosphere is relaxing and upscale. Outdoor seating for casual dinning is great after a day at beach.

Nice restaurant located on the boardwalk. The Caesar salad was delicious! My husband had a chicken wrap and I had cheese quesadillas. Both were amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Catharine Hall

Really enjoyed the Offerings this restaurant had. The nachos and shrimp were delicious. Only thing that would make it better would be a little live music :-)

Vicki Russell

Food was good but the potato chips were terrible. Burnt and stale

Ray Snyder

Sweet Potato Fries were amazing! Fish and chips were good, Blackened Chicken sandwich was good. Nothing next level, but a solid experience.

Writing my first review ever because the place was so good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The manager, Mandy, stopped at our table during the meal (there were 8 of us) several times. I had the Cajun chicken and shrimp, and it was just the right amount of spicy. The burgers were huge and cooked to order. The fish portions were huge and tasted good. Two people had steaks and one was perfect, but one had to be returned because it was overcooked. The only problem we encountered was that they could only seat a table for six outside. Fire marshal rules. We had a table for four next to us, and we scooted it over just a bit so it felt like we were all together. I jokingly asked if they were going to sing to us since one of our party had a birthday, and they not only sang but also gave the birthday girl a large piece of key lime pie (her favorite). The prices were extremely reasonable with the highest priced item being a sirloin steak for $25.00. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Ask for Mandy - she will ensure you have a pleasant dining experience !

Great variety on menu. Waterfront view. Food and drinks were fabulous.

A surprising quiet restaurant with an ocean view. The Cajun shrimp and chicken was spicy but delicious. The fish and chips were an enormous portion and good. The flat bread pizza was nicely done.

We had a great experience here this past weekend. We were there for a cheer competition. Breakfast was convient for early mornings. Lunch and dinner were great! Fast service. The servers were pleasant, quick, and professional. My youngest took a liking to Emily. She was a sweetheart and loved the ice pops she gave him while we enjoyed the back deck having delicious drinks and food.

Visited this restaurant that is also a bar inside of Holiday Inn on Atlantic avenue. I ordered the fish & chips(cod), chicken quesadilla(xtra chick) and fish tacos.

The fish(2) & chips was a good size and as far as quality goes was very dense and not overly battered 👌
But, unfortunately, it was absolutely tasteless no seasoning what's so ever! To make matters worse, the kitchen was out of tarter sauce according to my server SaraBeth. This plate would have been way different if the batter was seasoned and a little bit of tartar sauce. The hush puppies were pretty good though 👍

The tacos were -mid- and apparently used a different cod fish than the fish & chip plate, most likely a cheap frozen variety.

The quesadilla's did not have the xtra chicken as ordered but however did have xtra cheese..whatever 😕

The green sauce that came with fish tacos seem to be watered down and did nothing to enhance either the fish tacos it came with or the fish & chips plate it was tried with.
