★★★★★ 5.0 Alicia Blevins · Mar 2026

We chose to eat on the dock. It was the perfect choice. The food is amazing. And the people are kind. Had a little mistake with my food but our waitress made sure it was fixed with no problems. And it was quick getting our food. We will definitely be back. Cant wait to try other foods. They have a lot of options as well.

We are only here for one day and staying at the air bnb attached. We had the oysters Rockefeller and the Chocolate & Banana Pudding Cheesecakes. Angel who makes the desserts was our server she was amazing and so was her cheesecakes. Everything was great, great view and great experience. They have brewery attached as well. It was the perfect place to stay and get to experience the town!

We started with the seared Ahi Tuna and it was delicious! The peppercorn crust was out of this world!! And the Grouper entrees were , just hell yeah! We tried blackened & grilled & you can’t go wrong either way!! Stacy took great care of us & was fun to visit with. Their onsite brewed beers are delightful-per my husband! It’s fine dining in a super casual atmosphere! Highly recommended!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ethan Bodie · Sep 2025

A little outside of town but great spot. Sitting on the deck overlooking boats going by on the river made an amazing atmosphere. Service was quick/friendly. All the food was delicious! My fried flounder meal was delicious and the collard greens were especially good. Others in our party had the grouper, grilled shrimp, and friend shrimp and all said it was delicious. It was great they had Buoy Brewing (sister brewery next door) beer on draft so went over for another beer after dinner. Don’t miss the Key Lime Pie either.

Grouper Ruben, and shrimp basket were both good. We enjoyed the music at the bar/deck outside but it got chilly so we moved inside. No problems there. It was a quiet atmosphere at 2:00 pm which we appreciated. Topped it all off with a very good piece of key lime pie.
