The margarita was good, not great, but pretty good. My husband had deviled crab with a baked potato and applesauce. I had the 2-item platter with shrimp and scallops. Both were absolutely delicious, came out hot and cooked to perfection. I had grits, and found them to be pretty good, but not real hot. I'm a picky southern gal and I don't mess around with my grits!! Green beans were excellent!! We will definitely come back if we are in the area again!

"Hey we'd love to be your friend." I think that's great. They were very knowledgeable with the menu, they answered all questions and let me tell you something. The specials were amazing! The four of us wound up getting the shrimp special for 1499, which included 20 butterfly shrimp anyway you'd like them grilled broiled or fried two sides and two hush puppies. What a fantastic deal the food arrived hot delicious and they also had half-price appetizers so I wound up getting the fried green tomatoes. Very healthy portion and tasted delicious.

The sauce pairs well with the bitesize pieces. Next we had the Shrimp & Grits which was amazing. The grits were creamy with a white wine butter sauce that sent it over the top. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. My only recommendation is a piece of garlic bread would be a nice side with it. Cool water front vibe. We will recommend this place to folks visiting the area. We will make it a definite stop next time as well. Wonderful!!!!!

We went here for lunch last week because my dad had a hankering for a fish fry. It's been a minute…read moresince we've visited Jax Fish Fry, so I was excited to try it again. They are located in the plaza on 210 where Grumpy's is located (but it's tucked away in a corner back by the cigar bar). They have some yard signs in the plaza that advertise a $10 lunch special. When we walked in, we went to the counter and checked out their lunch specials. The $10 lunch special includes a main, fries, and a drink. Some of the items on the lunch special were a fish fry, fish tacos, clam roll, shrimp roll, etc. I ordered the fish tacos, my dad ordered the fish fry, and my mom got a clam roll. Everything was made to order. Our items came out roughly 7 minutes after we ordered. For $10 you get a sizeable fish fry, for $10 you get two fish tacos and a plentiful side of fries, and the clam roll was chockfull of clam strips. The fish was perfectly fried. It wasn't heavy, it was light and crisp. I loved the addition of the remoulade sauce. The fries were delicious. I would definitely come back here again.

We had been wanting to check out Rustica since we walked by them a few months ago and we decided to…read morefinally come check them out for our anniversary. We made an early reservation since we saw they do Happy Hour 4PM to 5:00PM everyday so we had to get in on that. We walked and and were seated at our table. They made sure to let us know you can sit anywhere during Happy Hour and still get the specials where many restaurants limit it to a bar area. Rustica does a great job of Happy Hour. They have appetizers, cocktails, beer, Sake, wine, and even main course happy hour entrees too. I started off with a cocktail going for the Liliko Martini which I really enjoyed. I have really been into my Passion Fruit drinks lately. We of course had to get some of the Happy Hour appetizers too and we might have gone a little overboard but for sure worth it. We got: The Naan Bread Yellow Beet Salad Crispy Tofu Roasted Pork Belly Bao Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia Japanese Style Fried Chicken These were a great way to start off dinner and not one of them were $8 or less. If I had to pick favorites the best was for sure the Roasted Pork Belly Bao. I think it might have been the best Pork Belly Bao I had ever had. I was a large thick piece of Pork Belly but it just melted you your mouth and had so much flavor. We also very much enjoyed the Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia which were much bigger then expected. The Japanese Style Fried Chicken was great too and the BBQ Ranch took it to the next level. For my entree I went with the Basil Crusted Roasted Monkfish which came with Vietnamese Yellow Curry, Crispy Shrimp and veggies. The Monkfish was cooked perfectly. I had a great sear on it too which gave it a bit of a crunch. I know Monkfish can sometimes be intimidated people because it was pretty ugly looking but let me tell you if it's prepared like this you're going to love it. Some of the best fish I have had. The Vietnamese Yellow Curry paired very well with it too. Wasn't too heavy and didn't over power the fish but just added an extra boost of flavor. I know what you're thinking who could was possibly be hungry for dessert but it sounded good so we ordered the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee and the Yuzu Cheesecake. Both were light enough that we could still really enjoy them after all we had eaten. We really like that the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee also had bubble boba in it which we didn't expect. We had an amazing meal and for sure be coming back sooner rather then later.

Note for the locals: Simone's has a menu featuring daily specials that you can scope out on their website in advance if you desire.

Only a couple of tables had interfering sun issues. The garlic bread tasted AWESOME. We believe they were made out of the same bread they use for their lobster rolls.

She walked around to check on available tables and came back to let us know a large table was finishing up and that as soon as it was cleaned, it would be ours. About 15-20 minutes later, we were seated inside. Our waiter, Josh, greeted us with a smile and was extremely friendly and attentive. He quickly took our drink orders, came back with waters for the entire table, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The service, food, and atmosphere were all amazing.
