We had great service, the atmosphere was just what we neded at the end of a day at beach, and shopping, relaxing, quiet, we wish people were not allowed to smoke , even if there is outdoor dinning, very offensive to have to smell their cigarette smoke while you dine. more

For a seafood restaurant near the inlet the fried seafood sampler was horrible. The fish tasted like algae and ironically wasn't even seafood but farm raised tilapia. The clams were nasty and the breading was soggy on everything except the hush puppies. The conch fritter appetizer was the only thing we liked. Service and river views were good. I would... more

I informed the waitress that we wanted to really enjoy our time there and we would take our time ordering. I guess this was a bad idea because... more

The place was nearly empty at 2:00 pm on Sunday, it took about 5 minutes to find someone to seat us. Good food, they seemed to have downsized their options on the early bird menu. I wanted a seafood platter, but I hate oysters so I asked to substitute maybe an extra piece of fish. The waiter said they could... more
