I enjoyed the food but the service was beyond what I expected. My server (Brendan) noticed I was drinking a lot of water and he brought me a pitcher of my own.

Pull up to this waterfront bistro on your boat! This place is connect to a dock that has about 10 public boat slips!!!

Service was TERRIBLE, food was OK. My husband ordered his grouper sandwich with no veggies and wanted fruit for his side. His sandwich came with everything on it and his side being fries.

Salmon wrap is great, more like a fish taco but it doesn't matter!

Great food, but if you sit in the bar area, be aware it may take awhile for the bartender to notice you.

The tuna salad isn't that good. Strange mix of seasonings and soy sauce. The house salad looked much better.

Not worth the money spent. Food took long to come out and when it did my order wasn't correct. Sat outside so there were flies everywhere. Not a great experience.
