Daniel AbbottFebruary 25, 2017Get in early if you're coming for dinner, the patio view and atmosphere is worth the wait and if you're not sure what to get the lobster tacos are out of this world!
Ashleigh GravattJuly 23, 2018The lobster roll was fabulous! I had the chili and a salad which was also so yummy! We got to watch a manatee while having lunch 😍 service was perfect! View was even better!Upvoted Feb 12
Marcus ClarkusApril 24, 2014The Grouper is amazing! Try it fried and with some blackened seasoning sprinkled on it. The sauce is also good for French fry dipping.- Tanya TillsonOctober 26, 2020Shrimp and grouper bites are amazing. Bread service very tasty. Make reservations for sure and if it’s not dark sit outside otherwise get bit up by mosquitoes.
Mike DJuly 11, 2022have a grouper sandwich and side of monkey flavored cheetos! i'm sitting over next to the downstairs bannister with my ukulele making music and taking bacon off serving trays while nobody's looking
Michael G.March 17, 2022This place is wildly popular and for good reason. They are so thorough with cleaning every table and the food is phenomenal. I recommend the fish tacos and the coconut shrimp salad- Matt ClaneyJune 5, 2015The red snapper and sea food linguini are both very delicious. Sit outside in the evening w/ Angela as your server! She was so accommodating and helpful!
Roemer Johansson👑June 28, 2014ALL of the food including the non seafood choices are amazing! Quick seating too! We were told it was an hour wait and only waited 20 mins! Definitely worth it!
Liz StrandAugust 17, 2011I highly recommend the Grouper Bites (under appetizers). I get those with fries as a full meal, for amazing flavor at a decent price! (they are like chicken fingers, but with very fresh grouper).
The grilled grouper sandwich was perfect. The cook on the fish was spot on. I will be back!
Kerry HassenApril 8, 2016Awesome fish tacos (go blackened) and the soaps (lobster, spicy and chowder) all good choices. Excellent setting, great service.
Joseph KMarch 15, 2013Absolutely fantastic food. We had an awesome view of the water and the quality of the food , service and price was outstanding. High recommend.
Kim KohlmaierApril 16, 2012Call ahead seating is very helpful but make sure you call as close to 3pm as possible in the winter season! Entire menu is fantastic!
John HenslerMarch 5, 2014+1 for the Fried Grouper Tacos. Add in the fine view and attentive service and you have a great meal.- Deborah "Deb" LambAugust 5, 2013Fresh salad, awesome lobster roll & fish & chips. Great service and view.
Sautéed grouper, double vegetable and CEASERS salad with anchovies , topped off with key lime pie! Makes for a great evening
Lisa Giampa-MignognaApril 25, 2015You pay for the atmosphere of eating outside on water! Not exceptional for the three days to get a reservation. Fish tacos were good!
Ron BrowmMarch 12, 2016I had the fish and chips and they were average. My wife had the seafood pasta and she liked very much. Service was great and it had a view.
Michael ErbNovember 27, 2015If you want local fresh fish don't miss the grouper or red snapper! Amazing!
Great food! Try the Blackened Chicken Sandwich with Swiss Cheese and the sauce they give you on the side!
Shira SternbergMay 28, 2013They have great outdoor seating on the water. The food isn't amazing but I did well with a burger and a side salad.
Alexandra DorschuckJune 25, 2013The tacos are amazing. Especially the shrimp and lobster. Just the perfect amount of food
Glenn MangoldJuly 13, 2014Lobster Tacos, bread, Spicy Crab Soup and Key Lime Pie were absolutely wonderful.
Kate SchadeJuly 20, 2013great view! i recommend having something other than the fish and chips, i have had better!
