★★★★☆ 4.0 Daniel Ray · Oct 2025

Definitely surprised by the quality of the food. The place has a neighborhood bar vibe with quality restaurant dishes. Had the crab dip for an appetizer and the seafood wrap for an entree. The crab dip was great! The seafood wrap was pretty good. A bit wet and messy, but great flavor.

My first time here. I've heard a lot about the place from older Generations. As I always say I'm here to rate the food all of the other things are part of it with the food is where I live. Appetizer crab dip was first Jalapeño Crab Au Gratin. Rich but not to rich. Excellent amount of crab. Plenty of bread to load up. Very impressed. But maybe do a pickled jalapeno on top because I'm not going to eat those raw ones they're just a little too tart. Key West Salad special. Absolutely amazing the portion was incredible all those mixed flavors that are going to make your palate happy. Only comment is maybe cook the shrimp just a little bit longer they were a tad bit on the light cook side. Finally The Bistro fillet sandwich. I don't know if I've ever been into a tender piece of meat like that t

Went here this past weekend with a large group. The service was outstanding. Sally was our server, and she was just perfect. We really appreciated her attentiveness and recommendations. The food, was really and truly outstanding. Everyone, and I mean everyone, raved about how great the food was. The only drawback was the temperature of the restaurant (not the food) was a little too cold. However, it was one of the coldest days of the year, thus, the outside temperature was likely making it a major challenge to keep the restaurant comfortable. We will definitely be back!

We were looking for a more traditional brunch and landed here. The food was good. The price better. The frosted pear martini was a hit. Justice our waitress was the absolute best in service delivery, communication and checking in. She was a bright light for a Sunday morning. The way Steve hustled back/forth delivery table service for the hot station was very impressive. More importantly, the way he engaged us made it feel like we were at home having breakfast. I think we found our new Sunday Brunch spot.

Stopped here for lunch with my husband. The food was absolutely amazing and would have easily been a 5 star experience but the service was beyond SLOW and inattentive. The waitress was sweet but the restaurant wasn't busy and she kept disappearing. Even with the subpar service, I couldn't give less than 4 stars because the food was just that good. The cream of crab soup had a large amount of crab on the top and was hands down the best cream of crab soup I've ever had! The Maryland Crab soup was also delicious. The old bay wings were tasty, good quality, and decent size. My husband had the santa fe wrap which he couldn't stop raving about. I had the crab pretzel as my meal because it was that amazing! We split a slice of HOMEMADE blueberry cheesecake which was the perfect deliciousness to e
