The food was very good. The key lime pie was tasty, but a rather small piece for the price. Seafood seemed a bit overpriced, but was fresh and delicious. Service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a hurry. They were out of several beer options on the menu and the white wine was served warm. Overall we enjoyed our visit, but won't likely go again.

Holy Toledo Batman! This place was sooooo good. Everything was delish. We couldn't find the place we were looking for so this place caught our eye! Monday afternoon off season…not busy. We had the place to ourselves for a bit. Alex, our waitress was amazing and incredibly attentive. Pictures don't do the flavor justice. I am not a fish or seafood gal and they had plenty for me to choose from being a seafood crabby place. We were on our way from a visit to Fort Macon. Plan your trip to stop here. Texans say yes to this place!!

She then led us upstairs on the upper deck, which was fine, but the vibe was already off after that. We were seated, it took us about 15 minutes before the young man came to take our drink order by which time we had basically decided what we wanted but went ahead and asked him what his recommendations were, he described a crab and lobster Bisque which sounded really good, so I told him I'd like that along side my meal, he b

The service was very friendly. Food was amazing. This was our first time here and definitely will he back. I loved we could take our service dog and they even had a dog menu. The view at sunset is beautiful. It is best to have a reservation
