    Great menu with plenty of choices from pub grub to higher end entrees. Atmosphere and vibe are super cool overlooking the water.

    I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday which happens to be New Year's Eve. We didn't have to wait long for the items we ordered to be served to us. We first started off with our drinks he ordered an long island ice tea but it pretty much tastes like juice it was very light for an appetizer we ordered the calamari it was good and for our main dish he ordered the dry rubbed ribeye asked for it to be cooked medium but when it got it was well done the mashed potatoes were cold the sauteed onions looked horrible and I ordered the panko shrimp they were nice and meaty but had zero flavor it was as if they just tossed the shrimp in plain bread crumbs and panko the fries were more seasoned. Our waitress came and checked on us about a handful of times. I would say for the price I paid for our meals and alcohol beverage I could have got better quality some where else.

    Great New Years Eve experience! Sat outside with view of the water listening to music and enjoying our food! Got their famous Yucatán Shrimp to start and new Porkchop entree and Steak Salad for our dinner! Everything was great!

    Outstanding menu selections and variety to choose from. The blackened grouper sandwich was my dinner choice and I was not disappointed. It was large, tasty and just the right amount of spicy sauce. Along with the delicious menu choices and specialty drinks, the service was also timely, informative and courteous.
