My dad used to take me here years ago, and I decided to meet a friend here. What a pleasant surprise! The location, decorating scheme, location on the intracoastal was perfect. Our waitress, Julie was lovely and the drink and food was terrific. I recommend trying a Dirty Banana drink as well as the coconut shrimp salad. I will return with my family 😀

Great food and drink! Our server, Alexandra, was outstanding. Good timing, friendly and efficient. A perfect table by the water…girls night out! We ordered calamari which was delicious, tender rings spiced up with a few pieces of hot pepper. Coconut shrimp came next. The key lime pie for dessert was perfect.

My friend and I both enjoyed the seafood Cobb salad and our server didn’t rush us as we caught up after not seeing one another in quite a while! One of my favorite restaurants.

Customer service is poor. The waitress disappeared and not attentive. Dessert was brought to us and the dishes were not removed from dinner. My friend had a complaint and the female manager was rude.
