    Everything about this restaurant was very good, but the prices were on the high side for our lunch. The view of the Gulf of MEXICO was fantastic. Our waiter, Cody, deserves a thumbs up for his attention and personality.

    We are seasonal, first time visitors. Excellent experience! We will definitely come back & recommend to friends & family in the area. Great service. (Thank you, Isabel!) Delicious food. We enjoyed a crab cake appetizer, stuffed flounder, blackened shrimp. Lovely sides of perfectly cooked green beans, rice pilaf, & very good coleslaw. Generous portions, always appreciated! We are definitely looking forward to leftovers. Good value. Great ambience. Beautiful facility. The weather was cloudy & cool, so we look forward to seating on the deck for our next visit.
