We were given a gift certificate for The Back Eddy. We drove 2 hours to get there, but it was worth it. It is very pricey, but worth the money. The food is fresh, cooked exactly how you want it, and served with a smile. The location is right on the water. There is outdoor seating, and a dock for standing on as you wait. Of course the seafood is fresh and prepared perfectly, but the steak was cooked on a wood fire with Bleu cheese butter. The deviled eggs from hell are do creamy and spicy and delicious! A must try item. Our server stayed on top of keeping our drinks filled and was very good at recommending meals. Worth the drive and the money. It's a bit loud for a first date, but a second date would work out just fine here. 😀

Food is always fantastic!! And the view is great. The outside bar is cash only and all sun. They offer a few things like raw bar and hot dogs outside as well. They have outdoor seating that is shaded if you speak to the hostess. Little pricey, but so good! @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)

First time here and had a great time. Beautiful water views, delicious food, great service. Took my dad out for Father's Day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Our waitress, Mary Jane, was so polite and attentive. We'll definitely be back again!

If I could give them zero stars I would. I ordered the $46 rib eye steak - medium. They bring it to me, I cut into the center to discover it was overcooked, closer to well done. I flagged down the waitress right away and she takes my plate, apologizing and saying she will take it back to the kitchen. I started to think I should switch my order to fried scallops and went up to the waitress who was standing in front of the open kitchen, and was told the steak was already on the grill. Okay, fine...no problem. Less than 3 minutes later they deliver the SAME STEAK THAT THEY JUST REHEATED. Mind you, it was overcooked to begin with and they put it BACK on the grill then bring it back to me. By this time it was beyond well done (I ordered it medium), it was hammered. I can only assume the woman t

Beautiful restaurant, location is right on the water. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and a dock for standing on as you wait with a cute bar that you can get drinks and enjoy the views while you wait for your table. The bar (I don’t know if separate from the restaurant only accepts cash) You can get there by boat or car. My husband and I had a lovely dinner. The food was delicious. The waitress was nice, was always checking on us and smiling. She brought extra bread without was even asking as if she had read my mind. The house pickles are delicious and I don’t even like pickles. We arrived at the right time to catch a beautifully sunset. We got there around 7:50pm. Looking forward to come back.
