Cheesy pig burger, buffalo chicken sandwich, ahi salad, and sliders (avo smash and cheeseburger) with a free cookie! Everything was delicious! The burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked.

What really makes it worth going to, though, is the convenience and the service. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, which goes a long way. It's also right next to their sister sports bar, Rounding Third, which makes it an easy spot to grab food before or after a drink. The whole setup just works. I'm a fan and will definitely be coming back.

Great greetings and helpful staff. Sat at bar for a little unwind time, drink and snack. We love a good calamari ( always looking for the best in the area). Ordered a beer and house Chardonnay. Great tasting house Chardonnay and great beers on tap. Then we ordered the calamari; unfortunately cannot recommend. The calamari was so salty you could not eat more than one piece. I am sensitive to salty so I let it to my husband decide, but he could not eat it as well. We had to send it back. The service became noticeably cooler after that :(. Sorry, but I am just telling you what could be improved.

The chicken is cooked to perfect, crunchy on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside. The waffles are topped with napoleon syrup and are sitting on some sort of gravy sauce. As far as drinks, I tried a guava margarita and it got the job done and had me feeling a little buzzed before my food came out. Service was fast, there were plenty of servers around and they all seemed very attentive. This location offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. I will be returning for happy hour.

Our server Monserrat recommended some excellent choices to my friends on my second visit. With her easy going personality and humor she made the visit a lot more memorable! The place has a ton of western looking decorations that are quite interesting to look at with some pretty decent tunes to listen to while waiting for your food. I would forsure be coming here more often and bringing more people to enjoy the food with me!

I had a cup of clam chowder with it and it was tasty with a good amount of clams. Oddly it was served in a tall coffee cup. Not a problem, just kind of weird. The service was good and prompt and overall the place is a cute little fish market and diner grill. I won't bother going back as the three stars are mainly for the service alone.

The biggest highlight revolved around the staff working so hard making sure everything was cleared for us as well as making sure if any food orders were missing or there was someone missing their food. I ordered the chicken sandwich and I was absolutely blown away by how large it was and how flavorful their steak fries were. I'll have to try ther barbecue the next time I'm around!

The pasta had a spicy kick to it, which made it even more tasty! Our drinks tasted fresh, and very refreshing. We got the hibiscus iced tea and the freshly squeezed house lemonade.

The salmon was extremely dry and the rice it came with was NOT good(very dry and seemed undercooked). My clam chowder had pieces of napkin in it... I chewed and pulled it out, low and behold it was a paper napkin and immediately sent it back. I was asked if I wanted another one... uh NO THANKS. That ruined my dinner hence the 2 stars.

I added a little Tobasco to the house tartar sauce, as it is a little bland. Another diner had the crispy fish sandwich, which was huge, I think is from the same process as with fish & chips (deep fried). Fourth party elected a breakfast of fried eggs, sausage and french toast. She said the french toast was among the best ever. Sausage didn't seem to be pork, maybe turkey, but 'OK.' I also had the Danish Red beer, which was nice with my meal. But I'd still like to know the type fish they use for F & C.

The location is great,…read moreright on the beach, but also because it is right on the beach, parking can be a little bit of a challenge since you're competing with all the beach-goers. I was a bit disappointed when we got there as the vibe is more "beachy" than classy/upscale in my opinion, so that's good to know what to expect. I got the macadamia crusted halibut ($36.95), my wife got the boathouse seafood pasta ($44.95), and the kiddo got fish and chips ($11.95, no upcharge for substituting fruit for chips). The fish was good but rather plain- it certainly didn't look like it was crusted with macadamia nuts to me- just looked like a grilled halibut. Wife's seafood pasta was tasty. Overall, I felt expensive for what we got and also the fact that I was expecting a more upscale atmosphere.
