    Our waiter Steve was The Bomb!! Always fun and engaging with our group. We always will ask for him to be our server as it’s dinner and a show 😊 Food always consistent. Fish tacos are the best. Kids smash burgers were great. Such a fun and lively place for locals and visitors alike. See ya soon

    Thank you so much for the amazing review! We love hearing that Steve made your experience so memorable—he truly is “the bomb”! We’ll definitely pass along your kind words to him. We’re glad you enjoyed the food (those fish tacos are a favorite!) and the lively vibe. Can’t wait to have you back for more great times, great food, and of course—dinner and a show with Steve!

    Was described as a seafood restaurant on the internet and had one fish sandwich, one fish taco and some appetizers (grouper bites? Fish dip?) that included fish, no main course. The menu was a disappointment. It’s a nice location on the river, but it was also poolside, with children screaming. The weather was good because it was cloudy, but when the sun broke through it got uncomfortable. Our waiter Juan was excellent but stretched too far; too many tables, doing his own bussing. No alternative to valet parking , costs $7.

    Steve was our server and he was great. First walked in, Hostess told us to just go grab a table because they were slammed but I had a reservation on Open Table. When I asked one of the servers a little short blonde haired lady, can I take the table? She said no you need to see the hostess. I said she told us to do it she said there’s no way she told you that. She was very sarcastic and nasty.

    If you like eating at hotel restaurants this is the place for you. Poor service, bad food, expensive but on the Intercostal so the view is good. Don’t go. If want to see the water get a bag of chips and a beer and sit on the dock - it will be more enjoyable and cheaper.
