Wait staff and hostesses extremely friendly and service was excellent. Good was solid, standard Florida seafood and american dishes. Bugs were a problem as it got dark so keep that in mind as it gets dark. No wait on a Friday night. Would definitely go back.

The beers should have been colder because it was warm out, but breezy. Overall it was a nice Saturday relaxing and overlooking out to the Chanel with my hubby while pelicans and seagulls scattered about.

It took a while for the bartender to ask if I needed anything even though I was ready to order it immediately and I didn?t have much time. Ordered the lobster Ruben which seemed like the flavor would overpower the lobster. It did. It was a good sandwich, but I really like lobster flavor and the sauerkraut over powered the lobster flavor. Looks like an enjoyable place to eat outside. I?m willing to try it again the next time I?m in the keys.

The oysters were plump and tasty, and the tuna appetizer was equally excellent. We tried both fish dishes and a conch burger, all of which were fresh and full of flavor. I also liked that the meals were lightly salted, which was a thoughtful detail. This is a perfect place for a relaxed, casual lunch and is dog-friendly as well. Situated in the marina, diners arriving by boat can take in a wonderful view right from their table.

I even saved some room to enjoy a bite of Key Lime Pie, which had a wonderful tangy flavor. This place is definitely going on my list of favorites. The service was top-notch as well—Jorge offered excellent recommendations and thoughtfully prepared a smaller wedge salad so I could sample the tacos too.
