    "Excellent cuisine."

    - Thomas S.

    "Waterfront dining? This is the place for a great view over the sound. Fresh food? The shrimp was terrific - peel & eat. So was the guacamole . Big platter with lots of chips & big bowl of guacamole. Quiche was light and fluffy & salad was well presented. This was great meal and had to wait a bit, but just enough to walk around the town once. Plenty of families here today. ADA restrooms too. But there are steps to get up to this restaurant- did not see ramp or elevator, but may have overlooked this."

    "So many amazing gluten free, diary free and vegan options here! Yes there was even a gluten free dessert option. Since I am gluten free it has been decades since I have had fried chicken, it was so good! The marina and water view outside the restaurant is incredible also. Cannot wait to return to this restaurant!"

    - Melissa R.

    "Very nice view of the water if you're able to get a table by the window. The crab dip with pita points was very good! We had red drum fish tacos and the shrimp & grits. The food was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. We also tried the Lost Colony blonde beer from Stumpy Point, NC which was delicious. Very limited seafood options for being on the water. Service was so-so, but overall we had a good time here."

Very tasty!"

    "This is a fantastic spot to visit. The patio is fantastic and provides a wonderful view. The server was quite pleasant and helpful. The food was excellent. Fish tacos with tuna are a must-try. They also serve an incredible chili. I'll return if I'm ever in the region."

    "This resturant was extremely good. The staff were friendly. Our waiter was great. The inside was beautiful with all the glass windows overlooking the bay. The food... man was the food was delicious. We picked this place specifically so my fiance could try brisket. I got the honey pecan fried chicken. The brisket was very good and the chicken was second only to the Pirate House in Savannah GA. Amazing food and service all around."
