Awesome experience! We forgot to make a reservation and they were still kind enough to accommodate us on a Saturday night. Food was fantastic, so we're the desserts (tiramisu especially, as well as the chocolate chocolate cake). Strongly recommend... also, Brandy was a great server!

Don't let the outside fool you...this looks like a hole in the wall but it is delicious and a pleasant surprise! Shared appetizers that were fantastic and our waitress was so sweet! Sit outside and check out the big boats docked. Great place!

Very pleasant outdoor seating available, by a small marina, not ocean view. The waiter, Mike, was outstanding. The fresh catch, yellowtail snapper, was fresh, delicious, and expertly prepared (grilled). Veggies were good, rice so-so. The mixed seafood dish (first item on menu) was delicious.

Food was excellent, best prime rib I’ve had. Filet mignon was also amazing. But most importantly Michelle was an absolute gem and made our experience so much better. She provided impeccable service.
