Came here for lunch while visiting family. The seafood was extremely fresh and we received great service. They provided complimentary rolls and toastini. I ordered the steamed gulf shrimp which was so tasty and fresh.

Had our first meal at this place and can't believe we haven't been here before! Everything we ordered from the fried green tomatoes, to the crispy oysters, to the mahi-mahi, and the pumpkin cheesecake, everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic! Our waiter Eric could not have been more attentive, and also provided us with some great information on what to order as first timers here. There are restaurants that serve you their standard dishes from a menu that never changes. Then there is a place like this where the chef takes great pride in creating a daily, fresh menu. Believe me, that makes a huge difference! We will definitely be back!

First time coming here, and the entire vibe was very much "vacation". The decorum of this place was so quaint and cute. It was very peaceful, and I had a beautiful view. The food was pretty good as well, I really loved the sweet potato biscuit with the jelly and butter. Perfect sweetness and saltiness. The Brussels sprouts were so delicious as well. The service was very hospitable, everyone I encountered was very welcoming. Definitely can't wait to come back here!

LOVE it here! The atmosphere is super cute and I love watching all the boats in and out. Theres plenty of parking too. I highly recommend making a reservation as they can get super busy on the weekends. The service here is always fantastic - we had Mandy this last time and she was wonderful! She was able to answer all questions about the menu and gave awesome recommendations. The drinks are always delish and they have a good selection. The food - chefs kiss! It's always fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend adding into your food rotation!

Restaurant was nice! Great service and ambience. Reservations are required to have a water view. We received a complimentary appetizer from the kitchen. Was a little shocked at the Merita bread (rolls) that can be purchased cheaply at any grocery store. They came with pimento cheese, butter as condiments... also got two cucumber slices with a topping that included olives. I'm not a fan of olives so I didn't try one. As for our entrees, my husband ordered a ribeye. He rated his ribeye 5/5. Menu description: ribeye 15" blackened "never ever" black angus beef ribeye (roseda farms, monkton, md) / crispy truffle fingerling potatoes / bacon and chorizo braised kale and collards (quindocqua farms, marion station, md) / cabernet reduction / cowboy compound butter 62 I ordered the crab cake sandwich. I rate my order a 3/5. Yes, it was lump crab meat which is great but had little to no seasoning. It was also very small! Menu description: crab cake sandwich 22 FRESH jumbo lump crab (chincoteague, va) / lemon caper dill aioli / sesame brioche roll (crack of dawn bakery, berlin, md) / tomato / fries We were there on a Monday night. The restaurant was at about 50% capacity. At the end of the meal, our waitress brought our check, and after a minute came back over. She came back over with a corrected check, telling us that Monday's are 25% off. Overall, we had a good experience.
