    A Great Blue Heron stopped by for a beer!
    Bridget O.

    The restaurant is at a Country Club Marina in a neighborhood. The marina is not private. The atmosphere was really chill and nice views of the mangrove canals. We had a long wait for a table, but Ryan saved the day and found us a nice table, still with a view! Ryan did a great job taking our order quickly and finding us some beer/alcoholic lemonaide/hard cider. They do not serve liquor. We ordered the lobster bisque which was very good. The dining experience was casual. For dinner we had the lobster grilled cheese, really delicious grouper fish and chips with a special sauce and 2 big light spicy grilled grouper tacos. All tasty. The price, for Florida, was ok. 3 entrees and 3 canned beer type beverages came to about $100 plus tip. Ryan was attentive and very upbeat (and really good looking...sorry to embarass you Ryan). We really enjoyed the whole experience.

    AJ's Dockside Bar is hit or miss for service. Food is good, beer is cold . It is locally owned/ operated... yaa. The 2 young women behind the bar are sometimes oblivious to the customers needs. .. kinda like they're in their own world. My companion and I go frequently there.. why well it's totally outside ,close to the house and when Ryan is there service is spot on. For the most part food is good ( again hit or, miss) . Never had a bad meal but not " awesome " either. Prices are on par with other restaurants. Love the location Cove Cay Marina. On a bright note it is local.

    It's a By the water bar and grill establishment. Kid friendly which is a plus. You can see people docking their boats and jet ski, and there are some games. The bartender is the one that takes your order. I was disappointed with the fried calamari. They didn't have any chicken or steak as the bartender stated they ran out the night before...

    I grew up in the Midwest, with a typical "meat and potatoes" diet. On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

The next time, we went for lunch and they were out of some things that we initially ordered, but we ended up with a heating plate of fried things that kind of felt like bar food. It is a cute spot and I would probably try it again. I just did not think it lived anywhere near up to the hype that most locals give it.

    We were in the mood for a seafood boil and this was our choice based on previous reviews. Interior…read moredecor was very beach vibes and set the tone for the meal. Service was great and super attentive. We started with the hush puppies, which were good. Definitely not the best, but they were still good. They came with a side of ranch. Out came the seafood boil, we ordered two one of their standard boils and then I did a customer boil with crab legs and sausage. We both added boiled eggs to ours and went with the mild spice level and Mr. And Mrs. Crab seasoning. They bring out a bib, gloves and a discard bucket when you order the boils. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Again, not the best I've had but it satisfied our craving. My girlfriend thought it was delicious and was making sure to soak everything up in the sauce, haha. One thing I noticed was the crab was lacking on some of the legs, not as meaty. Not sure what caused that. Also, there was a bit of a funky after taste with the boil that I haven't encounter before. I don't know if it was the seasoning or the sauce. Just my personal opinion and others might think differently. Also, wasn't really a fan of the potatoes or the egg. Just tasted off to me. Overall, we had a good experience. Might return in the future to give it another shot.

The food is good, not great...but it's enjoyable and the portions are reasonable. It's fun for larger parties or with kids. It's not the "best" seafood you'll ever have, but I'll be back.

We walked in and were told to sit wherever we wanted, we chose the window seats. Hahahaha! I ordered the Locals Favorite and my guest ordered the Salmons Benedict we shared the Chicken and waffles. The service was great, our server was great too! We asked about real maple syrup and she actually tracked down a bottle, I couldn't believe it! ( Pictured) The Local Favorite was excellent! The crab cake was perfectly seasoned, the English muffin was toasted perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was also perfect. The cheesy grits were good as well! I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. My guest also loved her meal, ( Salmon Benedict) the salmon was perfectly done without being dry, the eggs were a little beyond poached but that's okay. The home fried potatoes were golden brown and an excellent addition to the meal. The ambiance is super chill which is surprising considering how good the food is. The chicken and waffles were exceptional as well. The four chicken strips with tender, juicy and well seasoned placed on top of the golden brown waffle which was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The butter and maple syrup was butter made this waffle an 8/10.
