    Server did not seem interested in being friendly except when blue angels flew by or when we ready to pay check. Parts of my meal (tortellini) were warm to cold while fish was warm. Seemed like it sat for a bit. Wife’s crab cake seemed mushy but that may just be the style.

    We sat outside and watched the sunset! It was gorgeous. Jamie was our waitress and she was delightful. We ordered the wedge salad, fried green tomatoes, oysters , and stuffed jalapeños. There was enough to share, and it was all great. I would go back and recommend this place to others.

    Everything was excellent. Service was phenomenal, they handled our big party with 2 toddlers without issue, and were extremely accommodating for their toddler diets. The food was perfectly prepared and tasted amazing. Would absolutely comeback in the future.

    Ambiance is unmatched on the water. Service was a bit spotty with wait times. Overcooked steak twice, ordered medium rare and came out medium well. Second steak came out just the same.
