★★★★★ 5.0 Jared Harding Wilson · Oct 2025

The food was sensational and full of flavor. The seafood couldn’t be anymore fresh. The ambience is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend. Also, go for the grilled banana bread. You won’t regret it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Amy Joslin · Jan 2026

This was the best restaurant experience I've had in recent memory. The food was spectacular. I had the Low Country Purloo and my partner had the seared scallops. The food was so good we couldn't stop eating! The atmosphere was elegantly simple. White table cloths, but still casual in overall style. Not so loud that we couln't hear eachother. Our server had obviously been doing this for a while. He struck exactly the right balance of attentiveness without being obsequious. Yes, it was pricey, but truly worth it. Date night perfection.

Nice vibe, with a balance of indoor and outdoor seating. Great service and good food. The menu was not as clearly marked for gluten as I would like, but our server was knowledgeable and thorough with double checking with the kitchen. I safely enjoyed some fish tacos with tasty rice and beans. I would highly recommend and go back if I get to make it to the island again :) If you have a car on the island parking is limited but there’s plenty of parking that’s not a far walk from the restaurant. We were there end of May so I’m not sure if that changes in peak tourist season.

We had the fried green tomato and crab empanadas as appetizers. Both were flavorful and fresh. We then ordered a house salad with blackened shrimp and fig balsamic vinaigrette dressing to split as a main course. It too was excellent. The only negative were the margaritas which were exceptionally tart and had no tequila flavor. The owner was lovely to speak with. We would return.

★★★★★ 5.0 Madaca 99 · Jul 2024

My wife and I had a signature burger and a traditional cheeseburger. OUTSTANDING! One of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife said it was the best smash burger she had ever had. The fries were good enough, the key lime pie was good, but not tart enough for me. The 5 stars ride on the burgers. Bethany, our waitress, was excellent. I like the quaint atmosphere. Bottom line though is the burger. The ferry wait of nearly 3 hours was made worth it. The picture does it no justice.
