    Our experience at Shooters was excellent. Our table of 4 had a 4pm reservation to be seated by the water. We only waited a couple of minutes and they took us right to our table. Jeremie our server was attentive, engaging and and any request our table had he didn't hesitate to accommodate. I would ask for his station again. The food was delicious and fairly priced. We look forward to our next meal there.

    We visited for Valentines day and had a pleasant experience. The view is mostly of docked boats with a limited view of the water. The restaurant is upscale casual. Not really a fine dining establishment. The food was delicious. The service was good to very good but not amazing. I'd probably return for happy hour or a casual dinner. Smart casual dress is sufficient. Even shorts or jeans and a polo wouldn't be out of place.
