    Everyone was extremely helpful and very pleasant! Do not miss the crab cake!! It was enough for a meal for me! My husband had and I shared it as an appetizer and still did not finish it!! Best ever!!! We shared the filet and shrimp with vegetables and it was more than enough! And the quality outstanding. I must confess I am extremely critical when it comes to food and this restaurant did not disappoint!!! We will definitely be back!!!

    Three of us dined together. One had the mushroom risotto, another the sausage pasta, and I had the special dish of the evening which was flounder in a lemon butter sauce. ALL the dishes were fabulous. Food was fresh, tasty, perfectly prepared, and nicely presented. Portions are large. If you have a smaller appetite I suggest asking to split the dish. The restaurant is small and cozy. A delightful evening.

    Shooters was a great experience all around. We had reservations and were sat immediately. The hostess gave us the option of dining in doors or outside along the water and we chose outside. It was a beautiful breezy evening with boats periodically docking there and the passengers getting off and having dinner. Our server was very nice, polite, and checked on us frequently. We ordered the chili wings to start, and I had the ahi tuna salad which was phenomenal and my friend had the Cajun shrimp pasta which looked amazing and he really enjoyed because he ate it all. Everything was tasty, seasoned well, and very good. We had drinks, an old fashion, and a glass of champagne. We didn’t save room for dessert but when I eat there again I’ll make sure to leave room to try the apple pie. All in all it was a wonderful dining experience and I will return. The only thing that was bizarre is that the restaurant is on the waterway, so when we were leaving, the entire street was flooded with a couple feet of water seemingly from the tide rising high enough to spill into the road. I have no idea why no one has raised that wall to keep the water out or built a dam like contraption to keep the water in at night because the street floods pretty deep. Other than that, the restaurant is worth every second and penny.
