What we originally thought was simply a fish market actually is nicely decorated market AND restaurant, with a pretty nice menu!

They don't seem able to handle their business with time and attention to everyone. It's hard to watch our waiter serve folks who came in after we did, then serve newcomers before we got our meal! We only ordered a small pizza and wings. The lettuce salads were good because I love their dressing, but what happened to the cukes, red onions, etc. - 2 cheery tomatoes ? , I guess it was a bad night and we need to show up earlier? This is the second time we've had extremely poor service here. The Salmon has always been a favorite - it's now dry...overcooked. And the pizza, although delicious wasn't the the small crusty 4 piece I'm used to. I received 8 very thin crusted pieces.. I'm just so disappointed!

Also, we booked the reservation for 7:30 PM and, even though they closed at 8 PM, they still graciously accepted my reservation and provided us with the most outstanding service. I ordered the low country skillet, which was like a seafood boil with sausage on top of cheesy grits with a side of green beans. It was delicious and hearty. I recommend ordering this dish, especially since our server deemed it as one of the restaurants signature dishes. I also had a glass of Malbec red wine, pair of quite nicely with my meal. One of the other guests ordered the corn dip, which had a side of pita chips to dip into. The corn dip was slightly thick and sweet, with a few slices of avocado sitting on top. Also delicious. Highly recommend this place if you are craving a New American cuisine with a southern twist.

Our server was great and was doing her best to keep up. Food and appetizers came out fairly quickly for how packed it was (35 min wait on a Saturday night), definitely try the crab puppies! I got the Jackson Creek Boil and I was wowed! It was cooked to perfection and the seasoning was just right. The andouille sausage was some of the best I've ever had. Key lime pie was just okay. I got a half dozen oysters too which were lovely. Lovely view of the marina, just be careful where you park! Also be warned, they do sell out of items.

Server was very friendly but after bringing water initially, took over 10 minutes to take any orders at all. Also took a while to come to our table each time. Scallops were cooked absolutely perfectly! However, there was soooo much salt on them that it was overpowering and made the dish not good. The corn with it was great though. The red pepper crab soup was the worst on the table, they have a lot of work to do on this soup. Ceviche was flavorless and in whole pieces of shrimp, wish they were chopped up. Can't go wrong with oysters! The lemon coconut custard was not a custard, it was runny coconut yogurt with coconut flakes and fruit on top. If you want a yogurt parfait, order this! Chocolate cake was okay, nothing crazy. Would not come back to eat

Wow! What an amazing experience…read more We were visiting from Texas and decided to find a restaurant near the waterfront. We stumbled upon this place by accident and we're so glad we did! The hostess was friendly and seated us by a window with a great view. Our server, Jessica S., was fantastic--friendly, upbeat, attentive, and genuinely made our visit enjoyable. An unexpected bonus was that we happened to be seated next to her parents, who were having lunch there as well. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The food portions were enormous! We thought Texas portions were big, but these were even larger than what we're used to back home. Best of all, the food was absolutely delicious. We only wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. And if you can, ask for Jessica--she's amazing and truly made our experience memorable! Jessica - you rock!
