Everything I had was made to perfection! The calamari had this light crispiness on the outside, the pasta had just the right amount of seafood, and the oysters were so fresh. The view was beautiful as well. I will be back!

We were looking for a local bar ...something maybe with music. This is a great riverfront location but not exactly the crowd for us..more of a senior citizen demographic.

Quintessential Florida waterside restaurant. I can NOT say enough good things about this place. First off - free valet parking. What's not to like?! Second - the environment is top notch. Waterside view. Local band named "Heatstroke" playing the hits. Restaurant half, bar the other. Why count numbers...Read More
