Servers are always friendly and attentive! I love when the bartenders make something fun after I give them a free pass to make whatever! Tom is the best! If you're from here, you know parking is not going to be ideal but you get over it! -1 star because I feel like the variety and quality of the food has decreased with slight price increase over the last few years. I understand raising prices, but the last few times we've been, menu items I have not been available and the food was semi-Bland unfortunately

Great location by the water with fabulous views. Service is fast and friendly and there atmosphere is very casual. We both ordered specials, myself the crab and lobster mac and cheese which had a great flavor even though pasta was slightly overcooked and it came with a really nice side salad. My friend had the blackened shrimp and grits which he said was pretty good but not a lot of flavor. We ordered the breaded green beans with ranch dip as an appetizer which was tasty. I ordered the HITW island triple mojito which was also very tasty and my friend ordered a beer on tap, the waitress was great and let him sample a beer he was unsure about ordering. Prices were reasonable and the food was good. I would recommend for a casual seafood meal on the water.

Finding this place was such a catch! (Get it? ) I don't live in the area, but I don't think you cod do better than Hole in the Wall. Don't trout me and just go! I had the fried oysters, my partner had the grilled sea bass, and both were amazing! It's a lot of food with the sides, but the views over the water are fun--if you have a boat they also do boat-based takeaway--and everyone is socially distant at tables. Considering going somewhere else for lunch seems a bit fishy to me. This place is o-fish-ally a winter! I should dolphinitely scale back on the fish puns.

I'll start off saying the service and ambience here is always good! I was disappointed w my food recently because my burger did not come out the way I ordered it. But, I won't hold it against them lol. Because overall, it's always a good experience when I come here to eat!

Great water spot (5) with OK food (3) makes this a solid 4 star review. Gets crowded easily as it's really the only place around.

A very casual place on the water on Gwynn's Island, this is a true "hole in the wall". The decor is homey with a typical watermen

We ordered a few appetizers and entrées and everyone pretty much enjoyed their meal. I do feel like the flounder was a little bit undersea, but everything else was pretty good.

We had the Appalachian salad to start- fresh and tangy. I had pheasant sausages and duck. My husband had the surf and turf- crab cake and small filet. Our side were the same- mashed potatoes and rote kohl. My dish also had a very tasty garnish of onions and blueberries. It was all prepared well and with the pheasant sausage they offered something I would have trouble finding elsewhere. Dessert was good- the Sinatra, a limoncello cake, and coffee. Portions were on target. I hate to leave food and always need to take a togo box. Not here and I left pleasantly satiated. Tables were a little too close to one another for my taste, making less romantic than I would have liked on this night. Our server made up for this minor flaw, as she was personable, attentive, and accommodating. Fun cocktail menu.
