Waterfront dining with really fresh fish and seafood and a lovely view to the harbor. Our waiter, Patrick, provided good service and advice for choosing the right meal. A very good dining experience.

The waiter we had was horrible and trying to tell our family the food was taking so long because the way we ordered it. Not professional at all. Food was cold and soggy.

Waterfront spot so can't go wrong there. Pat, our server, was awesome. Not over the top, just friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly (which was great because we had our toddler with us) and was really tasty. (Side note, the host that night gave us a plate for our kiddo without even asking, which I appreciated because tots are often nit taken care of.) The key lime pie martini is delicious and actually tastes like key lime pie. Personally, i wouldn't get more than one per sitting but they were yummy!

Fish and chips were greasy. Would not split the check between 2 couples. What vacation place doesn't split the check! Will never be back.

7 of us at dinner. Started with waiter spilling water everywhere. Food was subpar at best. Shrimp were fried well done crispy brown. At the end of dinner busboy cleaning off table spilled red wine muscle’s sauce all over my pants. I asked for manager. He came out with an attitude. I told him what happened and he said “what do you want me to do about it? I’ll get you club soda”. I told him my pants were ruined so he offered me a beer. I don’t drink. His response was your pants will dry. So he comped my burnt shrimp. Basically told us to leave. So unprofessional.

Mediocre food and awful server. Couldn't care less, didn't know the food and wasn't interested in checking, didn't bring water after a request, and disappeared toward the end of our meal until we asked someone to find him. I was embarrassed to bring visiting family here.

During my visit Dec’27, I encountered a distressing level of discrimination and rudeness from our server, Nicholas E. His intolerant attitude towards our non-English speaking party was deeply disappointing. To make matters worse, upon receiving the bill, we discovered an unauthorized $300 tip added by Nicholas. This unscrupulous behavior is entirely unacceptable. Be aware of this place they will make you feel totally unwelcome and SCAM you in the end!!!!

Great service, Zach bartender, food had great flavor. Liked the atmosphere. Prices comparable to the dock area. We would go back.
