Boated up with a couple friends and ate inside to escape the sun for a little bit The docks are clean and well-kept.. The customer service was top notch and the food was excellent! I ordered the steak bites with mushrooms and pita bread and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are looking for somewhere to stop and grab a bite to eat.

Great food and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the steaks and the pastas. Bourbon street pasta and blackened chicken fettuccini Alfredo in the picture.

Stopped in by boat yesterday during lunch and dinner hours. Overall our visit was nice and we would come back again. Really can't beat the prices on their menu and the server our group had was very pleasant. The drinks did take a little long but the food was quick. The ahi tuna was not as seared as we would of expected and some pieces were a little fishy but the grouper sandwich I had was awesome and very big in portion.If you have to use the ladies restroom, beware, the stalls are very tight. I'm not a large person and was fine but definitely not much room to move around.

Boated up to the restaurant, the docks were good. When we walked up the the dock we were greeted by friendly staff. They seated us quickly and served us cold beverages almost immediately. Food came out fast and was delicious.

Great views and food. Sit outside and watch ships go by. The food is always great. Had some delays on service in the summer, but we enjoyed drinks and took in the view- so it didn’t bother us. The staff is always super nice. Try the fried cheese - it’s amazing!

My boyfriend and I stopped here for a couple of drinks and an appetizer. Let me tell you....we had a blast! Loved the atmosphere of the bar and the live band there, The Barrelmen, were amazing! Little dive bar. The bathroom could have been bigger but it's whatever. We will be back! :)
