Food was good, service was good. The restaurant was empty so we felt a little rushed to get out. The menu was okay but nothing special.

The Lobster Melt is absolutely amazing! While the service could use some improvement—our table wasn’t fully cleaned when we were seated, it took quite a while to get water, and our server (though very friendly) forgot to enter our appetizer order—the incredible Lobster Melt made it all worthwhile. We ended up saving a few calories (and a bit of money!) thanks to the mix-up. I’d definitely go back for that melt, though we might opt for takeout next time!

Terrific service. Our server was prompt and helpful with suggestions. We had a scallop appetizer with goat cheese grits cake with poblano butter that was wonderful. My lobster brie sandwich with bacon jam was delightful. Overlooking the sunset on the bay— what more could you ask for?

So good we came back fior dinner the next night. No need for reservations in off season. The Lobster melt was savory and sweet. We also enjoyed the fried seafood platter was abundant with flavor.Indoor seating still had views of the bay while enjoying A/C. Great service and casual.

Food was excellent. I had blackened redfish and wife had snapper ponchartrain. Waitress Deidra was excellent even though she was spread very thin. Beautiful atmosphere. Recommend

The staff was very friendly, but service timing wasn’t great. Took a long time to for waiter to come to table… then a long time for drinks. Perhaps they were short staffed. Food was ok… not bad, but not great either.

Jordanne was a wonderful waitress. The hostess and every employee we met went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. The view from upstairs was beautiful of the bay and marina! The food came out quick and was amazing! Our group ordered the tuna dip app, gumbo, lobster bisque, fish and shrimp seafood platter, redfish, and snapper. All enjoyed! Well done!
