"Cool place with lots of food options. The waiter recommend the jerk seasoned grouper and it was amazing. Coconut shrimp appetizer was very good and the sushi i tried was amazing. It gets very busy around 6 and can be hard to get it. We were there on a Friday and they had live music, which was pretty good. Parking can also get tough, but they had someone there navigating and it wasn't terrible."

"We went for the Thanksgiving Special and were thoroughly pleased! The turkey was juicy and tender, the sides of scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, cornbread stuffing, and sweet potatoes were equally delicious! Our waiter, Kerr, was pleasant and attentive, and we never had an empty glass! They have a dog menu and Amelia enjoyed some salmon with rice! We had yummy apple pie a la mode and peach cobbler a la mode for dessert. Our table was by the water and the scenery was serene. We will definitely be back."
"We dined here with a group of 6 and it was very busy. But we were seated immediately. Server was great and food came out quick. Food was good, margaritas tasted watered down. my husband and I shared a happy hour spicy tuna roll and a black n blue burger. Sushi roll was small but good. Burgers were good. Chicken bbq sandwich was good. One couple shared a fish basket with the fish blackened. Came out with 2 little slivers of fish, a little cup of coleslaw and a small roll. They said fish tasted good, but looked more like a kids meal. We come here for the fried Key lime pie and that didn’t disappoint! So delicious. Music and atmosphere was great. Staff was working hard! We also went to play miniature golf after dinner next door and it was a beautiful miniature golf course and we had a lot of fun."
"This place is wonderful! Starting with the awesome staff who treated my 80 year old mom with care. Then there was the fabulous food! We tried the pulled bbq chicken sandwich and the pulled pork! Both delicious! My mom also got a bowl of clam chowder, which was huge! She loved it. We also ordered their grilled shrimp and it was seasoned perfectly. I don't think twice about coming here for their delicious food. And the restaurant itself is just adorable as well!"
"The staff was very nice & attentive. I visited for breakfast & highly recommend the Tequila Sunrise mimosa and Key Lime French toast! I'm not usually a French toast fan, but I love Key lime pie, so when I saw Key lime stuffed French toast, I had to try it. Absolutely delicious!"
