  Had a good time with family and close friends of ours while on vacation here in August 2025. A little bit of a wait to get help from server but it was busy so the wait was understandable. Food was good and atmosphere was nice. Ate in here while a strong thunderstorm took place outside which added a unique experience to the atmosphere.

  I was there with two friends on this past Thursday night at 8pm and we sat at the bar upstairs. Server was super friendly and we were looking forward to a great meal. 20 mins after placing our order, a person from the back came out and said “sorry we don’t have a steak for you, it’s frozen”. I’m like okay… I’ll still take my side Cesar salad and I’ll take the salmon. After another 30 mins, my friends food came out but my salad and salmon hadn’t came out. Another 10 mins later, our server went to the back to grab it herself. Idk what was going on in that kitchen but it’s wild that my side Cesar salad came out after my friends entrees were already done. 20/30 mins after my food came out, no one had checked on us so I got out of my chair to find a bartender to get our bill. Although our bartender was nice (and she was a manager) she did nothing to rectify the poor service in the kitchen. I hope that in the future, if this happens to someone else, the server would maybe not charge $7 for the side Cesar salad that came out an hour after ordering. Food was mid but overpriced.

  Late lunch on a Wednesday. Made reservations for 2pm but didn't really need them. Gave us a table for 2 on the covered deck right next to the water. Lots of fun watching the boats come in and out! Had 2 cocktails each plus entrees for just under $100. Club sandwich and fish fry were both delicious and more than enough food. Our server Aubrey was excellent! Super nice and very helpful picking out cocktails. She never forgot we were here and stopped by to check on us at perfect times, but not bothersome. Very sweet!

  We weren’t too excited to come here, mostly as we needed to use our harbor bucks from our resort and we had 3-4 restaurant options. However, the food was just fine. This restaurant has a great view of the harbor (there is a minimal harbor fee added to your bill). We had: - corn fritters - very yummy - Cajun seafood pasta - great flavor - baby back ribs - tender, flavorful - salmon - a tad too spicy for me; I personally a lm gluten free and didn’t have too many options; it was okay but I wouldn’t order it again - hot chicken sandwich - okay - sunshine mocktail - pretty good I wish they had more grilled / blackened options for those who cannot eat gluten / fried food. And on the mocktails - 3/4 of them all contained caffeine; if like to see non caffeinated options

  Absolutely terrible experience. One of the worst bartenders I have ever encountered. “Viva” was unbelievably rude and pushy from the moment we sat down. She didn’t even acknowledge us - no hello, no eye contact - because she was so hyper-focused on the service bar. Meanwhile, actual guests sitting right in front of her were completely ignored. At one point, a family sitting at the bar literally got up and left because of how rude and unwelcoming she was. No hello to them - just “are you going to sit here and eat or get takeout”. That alone should tell you everything. On top of that, the food took over an hour and 20 minutes to come out - and the place wasn’t even busy. Completely unacceptable. No apology - just attitude. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry for years, and I can confidently say this was some of the worst service I’ve ever witnessed. This kind of behavior is unacceptable in any establishment. She should not be working behind a bar, let alone interacting with customers. DO NOT RECOMMEND or if you get “Viva” - LEAVE!
