Customer Reviews
Food was amazing! Had a tuna poke bowl big enough to feed 3 people. The oysters were flavorful and substantial. The lavender rosemary gimlet was smooth and the staff was very attentive and offered great suggestions.
Went there last night for happy hour with a friend and it was a great experience. Chips & Guac was pretty good, my lavender drink was amazing , salmon sandwich was also delicious. Our waitress Maria was amazing , she took good care of my friend and I. She checked up on us frequently, informed us it was happy hour. The view of this place was also amazing 😍😍
This place is the definition of “great looks, mediocre personality” — amazing ambiance, mid food. I’ve been here a few times, and the verdict hasn’t changed. The setting is gorgeous: water views, birds chirping, the kind of backdrop that makes you feel like you’re in a travel magazine. Service? Pretty good. Nothing to complain about, but nothing I’ll be telling my grandkids about either. The food, though… sigh. For a place this pretty, I wanted fireworks. What I got was Chinese takeout vibes mixed with KFC chicken energy—savory but uninspired, and served with an upscale price tag. Twice now the water itself tasted a little fishy, and that’s not the kind of “seafood special” I came for. Final verdict: three stars. It’s like dating someone gorgeous who turns heads, but five minutes into co
The brussel sprouts were really good & the fried shrimp from the app menu were delicious . Salmon was a good choice as well. The atmosphere is really cute for an outdoor bar. Service was just ok. Not stellar, but not bad either. I figured maybe our server had a long day. He just seemed like he didn’t want to be there.
The Chesapeake crab roll here was amazing! The bread was buttery and perfectly toasted, and the lobster was super fresh and flavorful. The salad on the side was light and refreshing. Great service and a nice vibe overall, I'll definitely be back, the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is inviting, making it a great place to enjoy seafood and good company. And I also talked to Nilo, who I think is the manager and he was very friendly
