    Our favorite local spot - food and service always outstanding! From the courteous hosts to outstanding wait staff and creative bartenders, we always feel like we’re treated as special guests. Enjoyed a few specials last evening - shrimp cocktail was super fresh with large shrimp and chili was fantastic. Some of the best cheesecake for dessert topped the meal. Evelyn is a tremendous waitress and Tucker our fave bartender. We’ll be back soon!

    We came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.
