We dined here as guests and were pleasantly surprised. From the outside, it’s pretty unassuming. Coming from an East Coast shore town with a major seafood port, I usually keep my expectations in check when it comes to landlocked seafood restaurants—but this place was outstanding! We both ordered the Chef’s Salad with salmon, and it was absolutely delicious. The thick-cut, seasoned bacon was a standout—so flavorful! The portion size was generous, and I couldn’t finish it. I also had the Blood Orange Nojito, which was refreshing and well-balanced. The staff was exceptional, making the experience even better. This spot is definitely going on our “must return to” list. Trust the locals—they know where to find the best places!

I stopped into this location while on a trip and was not disappointed. I hadn't been in one in a while, but now I definitely want to go back. I had the Shrimp & Crab Stuffed Flounder with Seasonal Veggies and Fries (which are seasoned so well you don't even need ketchup). There wasn't a wait, but the place was almost full. From the time I walked in, I could see the staff helping each other and as busy as it was I never felt rushed. I also had a Tito's Hibiscus Lemonade that the bartender brought over since the rest of the staff were busy with a few bigger tables. Everyone was very helpful in answering questions about the menu. This is definitely on my places to return to when I'm in the area.

My tastebuds are leaping!! First time dining and what an experience! I was able to sample a few of the soups and it was a hard decision! Everything was very flavorful and the device was top tier. Abigail was a sweetheart and made excellent recommendations! Can’t wait to come back and dine at locations closer to home!

Jose is an excellent server. We have eaten there every two weeks for the last year. We order our favorites off the menu and we have tried many of their specials. We have never been disappointed with our food or service! They have beer battered fish and chips, grilled fish with rice and beans, or salad with salmon on top. As healthy or as fried as you want.

Everything from the start was perfect! Abigail took wonderful care of us. We tried the lobster ravioli and calamari along with their jalapeno soup, clam chowder soup! Their cocktail was delicious and my time with my kids was well worth it! I can’t wait to bring my dad for Father’s Day here!

Wonderful food from start to finish. Wonderful wait staff. All making sure you have everything you ordered. First timers let the staff know that it is your first time dining at their restaurant, and a Surprise happens.

The atmosphere is so welcoming. The chalkboard menu is composed of amazing specials and only adds a little pizzazz to items listed on the regular menu. Our server, Abigail, was top notch! The hospitality is out-of-this-world phenomenal. We went in as first timers and for our anniversary; they made us feel so noticed and so celebrated. They provided us with the first timers welcome sampler which was so tasty, and during our visit, we met 2 managers who made sure we were completely satisfied. From the time we arrived to the time we left, it was an experience to remember!

Chipotle shrimp with Cuban black beans. Nice. Flavorful, just enough seasoning to take it over the top. When we visit we don’t forget to get the jalapeno crab cheese dip with chips. Server “De” spot on.
