We planned a vacation to FWB and I looked up restaurants before we arrived. After arriving and realizing how many restaurants there actually were we were going to change our minds but I’m so so glad we did not. All of the food from appetizers to dessert was insanely good. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. The mixed drinks were refreshing and the atmosphere and views were absolutely stunning. There was even live music to enjoy while dining. Our waitress Cursetyn ( we discussed the spelling but I had a few drinks lol) was absolutely delightful. She was very knowledgeable about the food and after telling her about our recent engagement she was just as excited as we were! She was a breath of fresh air and made our dining experience even more enjoyable . We will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing red beans and rice with andouille sausage! Just enough zing and perfect serving size for 2 meals. Staff was attentive! And right on the water view dining was beautiful!

We went here for dinner and drinks and atmosphere was just perfect. There was a band playing and we sat outside and watched the beautiful sunset. Cody was our server and he was amazing! We had the stuffed flounder and shrimp spring rolls. All the food was really good. We will definitely be back when we are in this area again.

We were seated promptly (a Sunday around 7:30p) There's plenty of cool vintage items to gaze while you graze. Food did take a while to arrive, but it was fresh & flavorful. Location is kid friendly & near the water for a great view. We were able to see thunder & lightning off in the distance. I ordered the shrimp & grits.
