"Great food and service. Made a reservation a couple of days before so we don’t have to wait. Peel and eat shrimp the the oysters were excellent. Service was top notch, attentive but not rushed. Good drinks. Highly recommend."
"Stopped in for lunch today. Really nice dock gal helped us with the boat. Highly recommend the crab cakes, shrimp tacos and the spicy shrimp Bloody Mary. Server was attentive and responsive. Fun menu with lots of options."
"My husband and I went here for a date night while down visiting family and we had such a great time! The environment-right on the water, the food, and our waitress were awesome. Our server was great, she was extremely friendly and helped with choosing our appetizers and main dish since it was our first time there. (Forgot to to pictures of everything we had) We will definitely go back!"
"Not so light late lunch. No waiting for a seat on the upper level. As we looked through the menu we enjoyed a beer. Being on the upper level we could compare the items on the menu with the people's plates below. A sneak peek of what truly looked good. Surprisingly it all looked tasty. What I would call a barbecue shrimp is one dish we ordered, side of coleslaw and a fabulous bean dip with chips. We were totally impressed by right amount of spice and heat of the shrimp dish and the bean dish was more than enough for the two of us and we took some home. They often have music in the evenings."
"This was the first time we visited this location, but the food is no different than at the Sanibel location. The menu offers great appetizers, meat, seafood dishes and dessert. They offer alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. The restaurant has two levels. Bottom level has a bar and live music. The food is really delicious, and prices are reasonable. Service is pleasant and atmosphere is average. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends or family."
