A cute restaurant with water front and park views. Quaint little spot with the great food, good service and tv’s to watch sports. The menu is comical and is sure to keep you laughing. The salmon bowl was delicious and the shrimp and crab pasta was yummy! The staff was really nice and the food didn’t take long. Location is great to walk around before or after dinner / drinks and they offer indoor and outdoor seating.

New ownership - nothing has changed. Longtime patron. I went with my go-to order of crab cake, Mac n cheese and (something different) mashed potatoes! Broiled crab cake was on-point, same for Mac n cheese and REAL potatoes for the mashed potatoes - excellent! Shrimp Mac n cheese was LOADED with shrimp!

I really enjoyed every aspect of the restaurant! The view and breeze make this restaurant a must try! The bartender was very nice and helpful, and they have great, happy hour specials! Try the half and half crab soups it was delicious! Popcorn with old bay from the bartender was complimentary and delightful! Crab balls--almost all meat! The crab claws were very good as well! We will be back, and I want to try the Sunday brunch!

Awesome spot with amazing views and history! There is indoor and outdoor seating on a patio that also had a bar. Wheel chair ramps on both sides of the restaurant and plenty of parking. We sat outside at the bar with a view of the water and Fort Delaware. Our bartender was amazing. Handmade our drinks (muddled fruits, etc) and had no problem adjusting a signature drink to remove something I didn't want. There was also a couple at the bar that asked for popcorn and the bartender not only asked every bar patron if we wanted popcorn too, but made a fresh batch so we all had fresh popcorn. Little things like that make a huge difference in an experience and we thought he was so awesome. We ordered happy hour food to give a couple things a try. The crab balls were delicious and packed with lu
