Hear from our valued guests
Wow found this place while out cruising the ICW. Great service. Mgr came out talked with us a bit. We felt like we were at our home time bar.
We had the fresh catch “yellow snapper” and the conch chowder. Wonderful fresh food and with excellent presentation. Very cool atmosphere both inside and on the patio. Lively crowd and popular so get there early.
This place was phenomenal. It definitely lives up to its name as a hidden treasure. The most amazing food, huge portions, the freshest seafood we’ve ever had. Russel was our server, he was so attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and the restaurant. We sat on the patio it was a beautiful atmosphere. We will absolutely be back. The peanut butter pie is a MUST. It was SO good, worth every penny.
We came here first time. Seems so popular then we waited over 30min in weekday. Restaurant is near the water then small fishing boats are in and out next door. It's fun to watch it. We wanted to have seafood and all order is so delicious. Highly recommend place.
I've been here a few times and walked away due to the wait. Last night I went with another couple and decided to grind it out for the 45 minute wait. After we got our table we're informed that the kitchen is small and it is a scratch kitchen. This place is worth every minute of weight and every dollar in the quality, the presentation and the taste of every dish they serve is somewhat unique. We sat outside with view of the water. One of the few places I found that actually serves Florida lobster. We will definitely be back!
Lovely place with inside and outside seating. Marisa C was our server and she was polite, kind, and attentive. I always get a few apps to share with my family because there are so many wonderful options that it’s so hard to choose! (A good problem to have) Both their lunch and dinner menus host a wide variety of entrees. Beer and wine only but they have a great sangria. I prefer the red, but I’ve had the white too.
FANTASTIC! Wish I could remember the name of the lady at the Seven Gables House who recommended this place when I asked where she would eat. So happy and we went and definitely going back before we head out on our next leg of camping… no cooking for me!!😁Thank you Deana for a wonderful welcoming and for following up periodically…and for helping clean tables. That’s a team! Toni was a spectacular server and I loved her knowledge of different oysters… although I will eat them all. Conch chowder was chock full of conch. My shrimp were as advertised “ lightly breaded and flash-fried”. Thanks again Toni for leading me there vice a sandwich. And the FINALE, crab cake. Coming from a Maryland gal, she gave the cake 5 stars plus. She tossed the bread aside!
We came on a busy Saturday afternoon and even though the wait was about 45 minutes it was so worth it! The atmosphere here is so nice for even a more upscale restaurant. Indoors it’s classic and boat esque while the outside is relaxing and very laid back, with fun sights like bar cats and lizards. The space is overall well put together and inviting. The service was friendly and quick always checking on us. The food was top tier, we ordered the bang bang shrimp (can’t miss), ahi tuna, and fresh catch. Everything was absolutely scrumptious, and to finish off we had their iconic key lime pie! Definitely a must visit!
Visiting from out of state and dropped in. We were told a 40 minute wait, but it was more like 20. Service was impeccable. Our server was Russell M. We ordered the Onion Straws, Lobster Alfredo pasta and Shrimp tacos. Everything was delicious. The food was cooked perfectly and presented well. Russell provided great service by refilling drinks and bringing additional ranch for onion strings. He offered feedback for suggestions and provided service with a smile. If we're ever in the area again, we'll certainly drop in. Thanks for the good experience.
Experiencing exceptional cuisine is always a delight! 😋 From the surprisingly exquisite Miami soup that left me in awe, to the impeccably fresh and delicious groper, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. I truly savored each and every bite. This dining experience was certainly one for the books! #Foodie #FineDining #CulinaryExcellence #Delicious
