An eclectic gathering of the finest ways to enjoy what we are blessed to have on our very own doorstep. You can find on our menu or Special's board local items like Florida Lobster, many varieties of local Seafood. Join us for a feast of seafood paired with a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere.

For me was too much, also considering that at least 2-3 tables with guests coming later were served before us. Not fair for my pov. Food was quite good but not worth the expense. We ordered 2 desserts, we were told there was only one left, but 5 minutes later same dessert was served on another table. Found it unprofessional.

Staff was clearly overwhelmed. The host made a comment to my teen daughter about one of the waiters not doing his f-ing job. Real classy Overpriced. -$21.95 lobster Mac ‘n Cheese had ONE piece of lobster (we laughed, but COME ON!) An unforgettable experience. We would not recommend and we will not be back.

I politely brought to the waiter’s attention who decided to debate with me they were good. I had 2 other table mates smell and concur but waiter and chef continued to argue. I barely ate any of the meal and refused to eat anything more and was still charged the overpriced $43 minus 15%. And my bonus was getting sick for 2 days. Sad as the restaurant was lovely and the menu creative but you can’t serve old or refrozen seafood. I will definitely mark this one off my list for returning.
