    We had a fantastic meal while visiting from Canada. We had a wonderful outside booth and incredible service. Our table had a sweet card on it wishing us a happy anniversary when we arrived. We started with cocktails (pina colada and mai tai) and shared the gotten sticky ribs and coconut shrimp. We shared the Filet mignon. All of the food was really nicely done. The steak was like butter. We enjoyed a glass of wine with our steak and then, even though we were very full, we shared the key lime pie and were glad we did! I highly recommend this restaurant and its wonderful staff and suggest finishing the night with a photo with Duke, the bronze statue out front.

    Fun place although I would only come for a drink. The atmosphere is cute and well decorated like Christmas pirate boat. The tables are cocktail so eating is tight. Food was just ok.

    A few friends went here for the sippin santa and it was so fun! I have been here before a couple times during the regular season and it was great then too! The food is good, a tiny bit on the high end price wise, but not really out of the ordinary for the area and definitely not the most expensive place. Our server was the best and she gave us handmade magnets at the end. Loved it
