The Signature Sassy Bloody Mary was excellent with a bit of a kick. The backfin burger was tasty. Get the sweet potato fries, they are lightly dusted with sugar & cinnamon. Service was a bit slow.

All of the entrees we tried were very good, but the ones which stood out were the steamed shrimp seasoned with Old Bay and the snow crab legs. The appetizers were tasty, too.

$13.99 early dinner special is sooooo worth it! Had one blackened swordfish and one fried shrimp dinner for $13.99 each. Absolutely excellent!

Had the restaurant week special. Oysters on the half shell FRESH, rockfish delicious, coconut cake is one of a kind and you have to get the Lobstertini just to say you did!

Eat the Crab Cake Benedict for brunch with a mimosa or bloody! Trust me, you won't regret it! Delish

So far, not impressed. Trying to get a table outside and they will only seat a party of four at a table meant for four and no other. Won't seat us at an open table meant for five, making us wait.

Enjoyed restaurant week - try the lobster roll - best she crab soup!

Great food but if you take a family of 5, they will add a mandatory 20 percent tip. I guess we did not look like tippers in our post beach attire.

The food was very average. The fried oysters were mushy and the breading was dense. We were disappointed.

Great food!

I eat here to night. I was very disappointed, Very expensive for small amount of food. My lobster tail was rubbery. The rolls were hard as a rock (REALLY!) I don't like this place what a shame!
