Our waiter was excellent! Gave valuable suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and his attention to detail was perfect. The snapper was delicious and the presentation was exquisite. It's easily the best dish I've had in a long time. It is rare to find a place that is this cozy and inviting while still servicing top-tier, perfectly prepared seafood!

We made a reservation and were seated quickly. The servers were all very friendly. We received prompt service and ordered from the specials menu. The sweet potato fries that came with the crab cake special were delicious. I had two iced coffees, which were very good, too. The sesame-crusted tuna salad was tasty.

Best burger I ever had! Service was quick easy and kind. They gave me a candle in the dessert for my birthday with a nice handwritten happy birthday card. I’d recommend and I’d go back!
