    Two part review here. We came in with a party of 12 who wanted separate checks. Our waitress Felicia was awesome and accommodating. But that’s where the fun ends folks. The food from top to bottom was absolutely AWFUL. Like these people should be ashamed of themselves and probably have a health department inspection. My wife was served something that was supposed to be a sausage (we think, that’s what the menu said it was) we literally thought it was a joke. We passed it around the table and started calling it the “dirty dick” Of the 12 people at our table ONE OF THEM thought their dinner was “ok” . A solid fail. I hope poor Felicia finds a better job because she deserves better. 0/10 AVOID

    The food was ok but we had a party of 10 and they did not tell us they do not split checks and the tip is included. Never again.

    I had a burger and the hubs had the pasta with shrimp & scallops—-both were just fantastic. The service was fast & friendly. The burger was absolute perfection, well-seasoned and cooked just beyond medium—really one of the best I’ve had in a while. The pasta was not overcooked, the shrimp & scallops were fresh and cooked to the perfect doneness—not rubbery. The sauce was heavy on the garlic, which was great. We are stranded on the island until Hwy 12 opens again, so we will definitely be back!!!

    This place is off the charts good. Not all crabs are created equal but when it comes to snow crab the east coast has to import it frozen anyway. What sets their snow crab apart from others is the portions, the kitchen and their own house made version of Old Bay seafood seasoning. Just incredible. This is now my preferred place for snow crabs. Next time I’ll try the king crab. Their hush puppies are great too. They have their own honey butter to dip with. Last night I posted the above review. Today I came back for King Crab. I have to say I’ve been missing out my whole life on King Crab. I was not disappointed in the least. Staff was friendly and very mindful too. The place is not expensive. What I ordered was expensive so don’t let the market price scare you. Be sure to ask for Bella or Kyla. They are very attentive and natural pros.

    I'll start by saying that the food and service were fantastic. Our waitress was very attentive to our party of 10. We had 8 adults and 2 little ones. Our food was delicious. My issue is with the check at the end of our meal. When you walk through the door, there is a sign that any party of 6 or more will have the 18% gratuity automatically added to the check. That's fine as we always tip 22 to 25% for great service. However, when we received the check there was no line stating 18% gratuity. Instead, there was a line that stated service charge. Then underneath, a suggested 18 22 25 amount. I found it confusing and asked the waitress. Her response was also confusing. Apparently, the service fee of almost $100 goes to the establishment and some of it she receives. I wish they would call it what it is. The check does not reflect what the sign up front states. Either way, we added extra to the check for our waitress but at that point weren't even sure we left enough or if we were overcharged.
