Nestled on the West Shore, this charming, family-owned restaurant has garnered mixed reviews from diners. While many rave about the extensive seafood options, such as fish tacos and crab cakes, others report inconsistent experiences. Some guests appreciate the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, highlighting the prime rib and stuffed shrimp as standout dishes. However, isolated incidents, like hair in a burger and concerns about flavors from cross-contamination, tarnish the overall impression for a few. Despite these drawbacks, the bustling vibe and local charm make it worth a visit, particularly for those craving fresh seafood and hearty steaks. Reservations are recommended.

The food here is fantastic and affordable. The rustic decor is also really cool (pun intended).

Good. Not excellent. Been a few times now. Good ribs and steaks. No solid bone in Ribeye choices though.Scallops have been good in the past. So have the ribs. Carrot cake is great.

Absolutely Amazing! Traveling from out of town with a family of 5. Everyone was extremely impressed with their meals, cocktails, and service. I had the french onion soup, stuffed shrimp and scallops. Everything was perfect. Amanda our server was wonderful. I highly recommend this local restaurant. Skip the chains and eat support local!

I was in town for a sporting event with my family and we decided to get takeout from this restaurant. The food was delicious! We ordered prime rib and stuffed shrimp with crab meat, but the standout dish was the seafood in red sauce over garlic bread. The prices were also very reasonable. Overall, we were very pleased with our meal.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. I was greeted by a lovely woman who made my visit and dinner last night very enjoyable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.
