“Fun spot with great food, beautiful views of the water and a live band! Stopped in on a busy Friday chilly night, the wait was long but we were able tp enjoy some drinks while listening to the band over looking the water. Does it get any better than that. Erica and Miya took great care of us! The ahi tuna wrap was excellent and a great way to top off the night!”
— Joshua Gathings★★★★★
“We loved everything about this place, from decor to service to food. The clam chowder was excellent, grouper tacos were simply amazing (I am coming back tonight to have them again), ahi tuna and shrimp tacos were also very good, and their signature cocktails are quite unique - my wife loved them. Both our visits, the service was super friendly, the music is very nice, and the sunset view from the upper deck only compares with beach sunsets.”
— Mike S★★★★★
“The staff is super friendly. Bree was our amazing waitress. Both the ahi & mahi tuna tacos were delicious. So many drinks to choose from. You will enjoy whatever you decide to drink. Great place to listen to live music & watch beautiful sunsets”
— Rae G★★★★★
“What a great place to be! The staff was friendly, and the food delicious. We got some sliders and the Ahi tacos. When we got here it was a 30 minute wait to be seated, but the bar had open seating so we sat there. It took about 5 minutes to get our drinks then another 5 for the food, so I was very impressed!”
