King Neptune lived up to the hype! Everything we had to our cocktails, appetizer (seared tuna), soup (cream of crab), salad (Caesar salad, with these amazing lightly grilled, but had all the grill favor, grape tomatoes) and main course (crispy tuna and fresh catch which was grouper) was absolute perfection! Our server was top notch! We will be putting it on our return to this restaurant list!

This was our first visit. We hosted a Saturday lunch for 6 adults. The service was friendly and welcoming. The lunch menu was reasonably priced and delicious. The dining room was updated and coastal attractive. The establishment has been here since the mid 1940’s - they must be doing something right!

King Neptune was an excellent dining experience. Our food was delicious, the servers were very pleasant, and they seemed to enjoy their jobs. The location is right near the beach and perfect if you would like to walk on the beach before or after dining. There is also a bar or pirate side which is more lively and has TVs if you would like to watch a sporting event.
