    "Amazing service and amazing food. The food is absolutely delicious. We ordered the seafood castle, zesty potato bombs, bacon chicken Alfredo, lobster mac and cheese, and frutti do mare. ALL delicious!! Kimi N. Was our server and you should request her… amazing service, best we have had on the island!"

    "I was a bit apprehensive driving down a sketchy road into a sea port for fishing then you come around the bend and see this amazing place. Perched literally on the water and adjacent to a seafood packing facility, this large restaurant with both indoor and waterside seating blew me away. We ordered the blackened grouper sandwich (a staple at every Florida seafood spot) and this one definitely set the standard against which all future ones we try will have to beat (not likely). Definitely one of the freshest and tastiest I’ve had. While service was a bit leisurely (took a while to get the check), the food and atmosphere made waiting no big deal. Our table looked out on a mass of pelicans waiting for seafood scraps next door. They do take online reservations and in season these would be a must."

    "This is going to become a favorite go-to of ours! You can beat the setting on the water where you can watch the sun retreat in the evening, the beers were cold and kept coming, and the whole fried snapper was as good as I've had anywhere in the world, if a bit more expensive. We drove over an hour and still made reservations for the following week after this initial visit."
