Parking always hard but if you follow the overflow signs you will be fine! Also, disclaimer: if you like a good salad dressing, or if you like sauce on your fries you need to ask for it, they will not just include it. The servers are friendly but only if you ask them if they like their job ;). but the fish was DELICIOUS! The fish n chips and the tripple tail were big hits at our table. I would say the outdoor atmosphere is calming and a good place to chat with some live music to vibe to in the background. Portions were sizeable coconut shrimp had 6 pieces and was DELIGHTFUL. highly recommend!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Split decision: chicken vegetable soup is the best soup I’ve ever had. Literally!! Wow and the fried pickles are incredible. Shrimp & grits, although beautiful - the only flavorful part of the dish are the shrimp. Also, the $10 Marco dog was a disappointment. Not only is it not in a brioche bun as advertised on the menu, it comes with a tiny basic flavorless white bread bun that splits the minute you pick it up. I was able to add toppings since it comes plain but I would never have ordered it not as advertised. Also, the Bloody Mary’s were pretty weak, not a whole lot of flavor. The service was very hurried, there seemed to be one waitress and the service wasn’t great. So split decision - some gems, some not. Great atmosphere though.

Had dinner last night @6:00. Charming coastal decor. Oddly we were the only table for a while but it was off season. My husband and I were very happy with our meals….triple tail blackened tacos and blackened grouper with onion rings. The downfall was that his glass of Merlot red wine was very warm and very old. It should never have been served. Will try for lunch.
