I had the baby back ribs, they were so tender. Sides: the fries used to be gluten free but are now fried in a shared fryer. Since I didn't feel comfortable eating any of the sides I asked if I could have a caesar salad instead (no croutons). They do not offer side salads (should!) but since my order came with 2 sides she just charged me $4 for the originally $16 salad in substitute for the two $5 sides included in my order. The atmosphere was wonderful. Dick and Kammy played live music and the sunset on the deck was beautiful! Would definitely come back to try the gluten free chocolate torte :)

Gorgonzola with pecans, raisins, greens, the amount of chicken on my plate, WOWZA! SO DELICIOUS!!! My mojito wasnt bad either They even have valet parking, which looks ridiculous upon first glance, but I bet at 5 or 6 pm when traffic is really flowing, it makes perfect sense.

It took a while for the server to come, one person took our drink order and then another waitress apologized for the mix-up and wait and took our food order. I saw on a board behind the bar the drink specials, so I ordered a glass of wine for $5. I got the cobb salad and my boyfriend got the swordfish entrée. The cobb salad was huge and full of all the things (eggs, tomatoes, cranberries, blue cheese, corn and bacon). I did not care for the chicken on it. It seemed pre-packaged (it was nicely cubed and cold). Swordfish was a little over cooked but we liked the veggies and mango salsa on top. When we got the bill the glass of wine was $6.08 and the miller lite was $4.67, which are not was noted on the drink specials board and the price was odd. The restaurant was closing and service wasn't great, so I didn't get to ask the waitress why the difference. There is plenty of parking and lots of in and outdoor seating. I saw a two dart boards, cornhole boards and mounted TV's. Seems like a great local spot on the water to catch the sunset and just have a good chill evening.

The lone bartender was slammed with drinks for bar and inside and outside dining in addition to taking bar food orders. Still she managed to take my order of a shrimp boil, one of the dinner specials for $18. The gulf shrimp were big and crowded around sausage slices, red potatoes and two pieces of corn on the cob. A shaker of Old Bay accompanies the dish. I also got a side of their coleslaw. It actually was very good, not heavy on mayo and was made in house. But about 3 ounces for $3.50, I didn't think it was worth that. All washed down with a draft beer in a frosted pint glass. The servers and barkeep were friendly and none of the customers were in a rush. This is a very good locals spot.

I've gone here a handful of times throughout the years. I've never been impressed. This time…read morethough, will be my last. They changed the inside of the market. Before, you used to be able to view the live lobsters and see them pick them out. I used to like this, because I want to make sure the lobsters are alive and moving when they are removed from the water. Now, I don't know where they keep them, but I can't see them. I wouldn't trust that I am getting the fresh and very alive lobsters. Second, and most important of all, the prices are BAD. I called them a couple weeks ago for the price of lobsters. They told me 3 for $65. For me, that's extremely expensive. For me, I wouldn't pay that for myself, but my wife wanted me to cook some lobsters (would have been only her second time having lobster in her life). I decided to give them a try one last time and compare it to other markets that cost much less. If I could get similar taste at the other markets, I would no longer go here. Sadly, when I went in, I noticed the prices were now 3 chick lobsters for $75, or $25 a pound if you don't want 3. I asked about this, telling them they recently told me they were $65 on the phone... maybe not more than 2 weeks ago... and they said they raised their prices. Holy shit. That's not a $1 raise... or a $3 raise, but a whopping $10 raise. It wasn't too long ago that 3 of their lobsters were $25, and even that seemed expensive. I was willing to try them one last time at $65 (highway robbery bent over backwards), so I asked if they would honor the price quoted on the phone a few weeks ago, and they said no. So I walked out without spending one penny. These prices are terrible. TERRIBLE. Other markets in the area are charging $15 a pound for new england live lobsters. It's their store, they can charge what they want, but I won't buy anything if the prices are too high. Maybe this will go out of business like the port charlotte location? Maybe the snow birds don't know about other places to buy fresh lobster and pay the price? Well, if you know where to shop, you can find everything I've seen in this store for about 1/2 the cost. Tourist trap? I don't know, but buyer beware.

They were pretty busy but the food arrived quickly. Lots of people were stopping in for fresh seafood from the market while a few were having lunch outside. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. The only issue we had was that I was hoping to just get fried shrimp for my daughter but the only options were coconut shrimp or the shrimp po boy. They said that's all they could do. Once we received the shrimp po boy, I was confused why they couldn't just give us that but without the bread. Oh well, she just picked the shrimp off the bun and loved it anyways. Just didn't seem very accommodating when they seemed so helpful to the customers ordering from the actual fresh seafood market. We will definitely come back.
