I wouldn’t go back. The food was subpar. The focaccia was cold, stale and tasteless. The wings were done really well. The hush puppies were a 5. The scallops were undercooked. The short rib was overcooked and and dry. The service was horrible!! We sat for 30 minutes mid meal with no drinks.

We really like your restaurant. However you advertise being a seafood restaurant and the number of actual fish options are very limited. The fish we had was excellent but we would love a bigger variety.

Luke was very friendly and very accommodating even though the night was busy due to the high volume of traffic that’s found on Valentine’s Day. He was very aware and attentive the entire evening. My girlfriend and I would love to be seated in his section in the future.

We went here for Valentine’s Day and it was 6 of us. First when I called about the pre fixed menu Karrie was soooo friendly and informative on the phone. None of us have ever been there as we were hoping the reviews were as good as they said! We all ordered off the Prix fix menu. Started with salads. Caesar salad and the offshore collective salad were both delicious. The 3 men got the short rib. 2 of the girls for the Branzino fish. I got these tickets stuffed shrimp with pasta. Oh my goodness all of the entrees were awesome. Then the dessert that was included was to die for!!! It was Dulce de leche (chocolate) and it came with real whipped cream and strawberries! Delicious!!!! The service was great. And they even gave us a rose at the end of the night. The price was fantastic for everything you got! $99 for 2 people for all of that. We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer to see the water outside!!

The seafood dish my son and I ordered that was supposed to have crab in It had a meniscal/tiny amount that could barely be seen. Very expensive to barely have seafood in it. Portion was small as well. Beautiful by the lake though.
