   We were seated outside and waiter came a few moments later. Took our drink order and we decided what we wanted to eat while he went to get them. When he came back, we ordered half dozen of 3 different oysters, and oysters with caviar and sour cream. They came relatively quickly, and everything was fresh and delicious! The service however was slow. We had empty drinks twice during our meal, and had to wait to reorder another round of the oysters, as we were still a bit hungry. We decided to be sat outside, and that may have been why it was a bit slower, but inside was too loud to have a decent conversation. The ambience outside was good, as we were on the marina side.

   The oysters and entrees were excellent. Dinner service was a little rushed but the outdoor seating was good.

   Clearly our favorite place for oysters and towers - being on the marina is the best ambiance we could ever imagine

   The coconut batter-fried grouper was a massive portion—definitely not for the health-conscious. The so-called “vegetable medley” wasn’t much of a medley at all. And to top it off, I couldn’t help but notice that our neighbor’s plate was still mostly full when they finished. Not exactly a glowing sign!

   Classic raw bar and seafood restaurant. Nothing fancy, just good food and a good bar. They have some good local drinks and local food. When we saw the crews from the local sportfish boats in there having a drink, I knew we found someplace authentic. But the staff was also very welcoming to tourists. Have the Tequila Old Fashioned. Definitely worth it.

    We sat outside at 6p with a reservation. Our server was friendly but our shrimp was very overcooked.
