The burgers are amazing! The salads are huge! Great service! Nice view of a lagoon and canal. Definitely recommend.

A must to visit when in town. Food was great. They listen when you ask for dairy free and leave out anything with dairy. Thin onion rings very good although a bit oily. Grilled salmon fresh and delicious and linguini and clams are chock full of clams. Shout out to our server Steve [I will be serving you tonight] He was super busy but totally took care of our needs immediately. On a negative note the wait is a bit long but it is snowbird season and you can get a drink and take it out on the deck and they will text you when table is ready. Also guy serving drinks behind the bar could lose his crankiness. Will def go back before the season ends.

I was lucky enough to come here recently when meeting friends. We ate outside on the patio,and it was delightful! The food was delicious-everything was perfect! Our server was so friendly-and took great care of us! I can't wait to come back here again!

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! Fantastic prices! How can you go wrong! We will patronize this business over and over! Love them!

Great atmosphere. Gives the impression that you are outside. Waitress was quick to take care of us. Yet, food took a very long time and it wasn't that busy - my only complaint. I I loved my black bean burger not sure why the bottom of the bun was soaked so I couldn't pick it up but I could afford not to have the carbs Fries were soooll yummy. Hubby loved his fish & chips

An interesting dining experience - almost an anti-sports bar atmosphere with movies and Hallmark shows on the big screens. Salmon was a little overdone but a decent flavor. My dining partner enjoyed his meatloaf dinner. Still a limited menu post-hurricane, but the service was friendly and fairly efficient.

What a great spot! My boyfriend and I were looking for a good indoor spot to escape the Florida heat and landed here! The inside is so nicely decorated and very welcoming. Our waiter was attentive and so kind. We started with the espresso martini (add the baileys) and it was the bomb! I got the pesto crusted salmon which sounds like it would be weird but it was very good. The thin onion rings are my obsession. The pasta salad was a panic order and it was ok, not my fav. My boyfriend's blackened chicken Cajun pasta was the real star. I couldn't keep my fork off his plate. So creamy and delicious!! I need it in a 10 pound barrel. A must try!

We enjoyed a family dinner here after a short wait. They have bocce ball courts outside which helped kill the time. This place was packed full by 530pm! We all enjoyed our meals and of course, their famous onion rings which are basically haystack onion rings you'd see on a burger. The tacos were very good and I enjoyed the fries but wish they were crispier. Service was friendly but nothing special. The food all arrived quickly and our orders were correct. We would come back!
