We were a little disappointed with our first visit for this trip. Ordered 2 draft beers when we arrived. Beer wasn't cold. Ordered an appetizer of royal reds(gulf shrimp). They served us regular shrimp. Almost $22 for 8 regular shrimp was a bit much. Our 2nd appetizer of buffalo grouper bites was good, but almost no buffalo sauce . Grilled grouper dinner was excellent. Didn't make it back for the rest of our trip. Seems as though quality has dropped off.

Hubs got peel eat shrimp and fries, friends got grouper sandwiches as well. I don't think it was worth the price to be honest.The beer was flat and not very cold. There was a live band playing at 7pm. We could barely fit through the tables, chairs, anddancing patrons to find a table out from under the cover. We could barely hear each other over the music. The bathroom alongwith most of the restaurant was dingy and did not look like they wipe down the tops of cabinets or display cases. By the timeour food arrived we were being eaten alive by sand fleas or noseeums. My legs are covered with bites. We were all a littledisappointed overall.
