All the fish looked great, but we opted for shrimp and large blue shell crab. They were still alive and kicking, that's for sure! Service was professional and prompt.

Not sure if they had just run out or never have it on Sunday.

Last night's dinner was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in years. I've worked in the…read morerestaurant business for over 20 years, so I know things can go wrong, but what made this experience especially disappointing was how the staff and manager handled it. We arrived as a party of eight without a reservation and because our group wasn't all there yet, we weren't seated right away. That was understandable, so we had a drink at the bar next door while we waited. Once we were seated, Michelle, the hostess, was lovely. She even asked whether we were celebrating, which we were, we had two birthdays in the group. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. Our server, Husham, seemed annoyed to be serving us from the start. He took our drink order and walked away before we could order appetizers. When he brought the drinks, he again tried to leave without asking if we were ready to order. We had to stop him to even get appetizers ordered and then waited about 20 minutes before he returned to take our dinner order. Throughout the meal, we had to ask for water refills, condiments and attention and no one checked whether we wanted more wine. The food arrived lukewarm at best. The manager brought it out and snapped at me when I tried to help place the plates, saying, "It's in order." When I told him my meal was cold and asked if it could be remade, he did so and the replacement came out piping hot. We appreciated that and the complimentary cheesecakes for the two birthdays, but those gestures didn't make up for the rest of the evening. At the end, the server had handwritten a mandatory tip and total onto our credit card slips without explaining the gratuity. When my husband spoke privately with the manager about the service and the bill, the manager argued with him and blamed the problems on our not having a reservation. The restaurant was about half full by then. As we were leaving, the manager came back to our table to continue the argument. I explained the cold food and the repeated requests for water, but he insisted we had never told him the service was bad, even though he had been present for some of those issues. He mentioned a $25 gift card, but by that point, an apology and some understanding would have meant far more. We spent nearly $400 for a very disappointing dinner. Michelle was kind, and the replacement meal was hot, but the poor service and the manager's response overshadowed everything else.

Great fresh seafood market that I would come Back to again…read moreand again. Came twice during our stay and both times the quality and service was outstanding. Prices seemed on par for the region and felt that the quality of options for fresh was wide. Scallops, grouper, salmon, and Key West pinks all came home with us for the week and didn't break the bank. Dinner for four each night was about $30 in seafood and really it was almost too much. Loved the service with a smile and check out the weekday special dinner for four on the wall for take out!!

We've lived in this town for more than 40 years and have never dined at this restaurant. I don't know what it looked like in the past, but it doesn't feel like they have changed their menu or their pricing in ages. Service was great, the food was ok, and the drinks were mediocre. It was nice to check this off our bucket list, but I don't see us going back. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't worth a second trip to us. The restaurant was buzzing with people. I can see why it is a staple in the community, we just prefer something a little more memorable.
