Who doesn't love a Restaraunt that you can ride up in a boat to the dock, tie off, grab a table,…read moreand enjoy the view. What a treat. This was our first visit to this establishment. Our expectations were high. As we walked down the dock checking out the other boats tied off along the way we could hear laughter and good music. (Be mindful of any loose boards) We were greeted as soon as we walked up and seated at an 8 top right on the deck viewing the lake. The menu had a lot of appealing items to select from. A majority of them being fried seafood fair. The prices were reasonable for the selection as well. The six of us all ordered something different. I had the Firecracker Shrimp (huge!), my wire ordered the crab cakes (disappointing due to more filler than crab at $22 for two), son had the 8oz burger (he loved it), tenders for the little guy, my uncle ordered the alligator bites which they were out of so he picked the catfish nuggets, and my aunt got the chicken nachos. The portions were rather large. Down to stars. I'm on the fence between 3 or 4 for these reasons. We arrived around 2:30pm and probably waited just over an hour for our food. The little ones were restless and cranky. The food was decent with the exception of the crab cakes. Servers were overwhelmed somewhat due to customers sharing stories from what I could gather from nearby tables. People are chatty when the mixed beverages are flowing. However, I love the experience, vibe, and the view. So 4 it is for this trip. You should check them out. I would definitely like to come back. It was really fun and I can only expect that place to get crazier as the summer goes on. Side note: If you order water, there is a $0.95 charge. Also there is a membership discount, but I don't know what that entails.

Foolproof, clean flavor and texture; a real revelation, capping perfectly, a lovely couple days in area. Cooked to order available as well. **Bonus: fabulous homemade Kimchi! Ask for a taste.

My daughter was visiting and we chose the Herringbone for dinner on Tuesday before New Years Eve. I ordered the loaded potato soup and the tuna small plate. My daughter had the salad and the shrimp appetizer The soup arrived barely hot and watery. Her salad was fine Then came the tuna with a smear of avocado and corn relish. None of it was edible. The tuna was definitely not fresh . By contrast the shrimp dish was delicious. The waitress graciously offered a replacement but by then I had lost my appetite. I am hoping that this was an uncommon experience because we really liked it beforehand.

I expected better from my tuna; it was difficult to eat and didn't taste fresh. Other reviews stated the same (please fix this issue as unfresh fish can cause stomach problems). Whomever manages raw fish there needs to up their game; this should be reliably fresh and taste amazing at a restaurant of this caliber. I would come for drinks and an appetizer instead. Chicken sliders are good. Salads are huge.

Not to mention the steamed broccoli with cheese! You are seated at a U-shaped bar while your personal server shucks your oysters, one at a time, and brings your choice of steamed seafood.

The friends we invited from out of town said it was worth the drive!! They open the doors at 5:30 - get there early or expect to wait, especially on weekends. They close for the summer like the traditional oyster bar they are.

Cup of Pepper soup was very salty. Caesar salad was good with big slices of Parmesan cheese and lightly, perfectly dressed. Fountain sodas were exactly how a soda should be, perfect level of syrup to bubbly. We both commented on how good they were which was kind of odd, but so often fountain sodas are off. Wait staff were friendly and efficient. The dining room is so badly designed. The row of booths where we sat were along a wall where the doors to the kitchen are. You can hear dishes being washed, "backstage" staff talking loudly and occasionally cleaning smells. I don't know why they didn't make that a hallway and flip the booths to the other side. Weird vibe for a place that is supposed to be nice.
