Tony was wonderful as our server. She covered a huge entourage and never missed a beat. The fish is always fresh and the best, plus the baked potatoes alone are worth the trip.

Jade was an AMAZING server. Everyone was so pleasant. Cute little seafood resturant, with a key west beach shack charm. The food was absolutly AMAZING! Get the shrimp dip! Stuffed flounder was to die for! Next time we're in town we will definitely be stopping by.
