    They have the ‘best’ oysters Rockafeller! She crab soup and crab cakes were also great. Service was very good and on top of his game. Overall it was a great experience.

    Server Christopher was fantastic and friendly. 2 of the 3 of us had the Early Bird Specials and 1 had the Ribeye. The seasonal sides for the Early Bird Specials were just eh, the veggies tasted like that frozen mix of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. But still, given the price of the Specials, I'd say the meals were reasonable. The salads that came with the Specials were fresh and tasty. My son liked his medium rare ribeye.

    The customer service was excellent, but unfortunately, the food fell flat. Every dish lacked seasoning, leaving everything disappointingly bland. I appreciate the great service, but I wouldn’t return based on the food quality.

    We were the only table in there and we got to sit right on the water which was so amazing! Watching the fisherman unload was an added experience. Staff was super kind, friendly, and attentive!

    Great server, McKennan. She constantly checked on us. The food was great as usual. Hard to beat the scenery of boats and water. It was pretty quiet when we got there at 5:30 but was pretty loud by the time we left. Great night. I recommend.
