★★★★★ 5.0 Richard Torbett · Sep 2025

The seafood served here is fresh and cooked perfectly. They are very generous with crab meat. The crab cakes are almost all crab meat unlike some restaurants where they are mostly breading. I enjoyed the broiled seafood platter which included shrimp, flounder, scallops, and a crab cake. I also enjoyed the potato cake. It is made with shredded potatoes instead of mashed and they are mixed with cheese and served with sour cream. The restaurant is located right on the water. I highly recommend it.

Great views and food. The staff is very friendly. The she crab soup is a must! Got the special - crab legs and they were seasoned and steamed perfectly.

The menu was a little sparse, with mostly just your staple options. The fish and chips were only passable despite using mahi mahi, as the batter was soft/soggy in spots. By contrast, the crab dip and naan was one of the best dips I've ever tried and the tuna bites were likewise amazing with just the right amount of seasoning. Lastly, the waitstaff was friendly but had some trouble coordinating, resulting in delayed drinks and bill. Overall a good experience.

first time here, beautiful restaurant, right on the water with the tremendous view of the water as well. recommend the calamari really good. had the shrimp pasta tasted good. The Alfredo sauce is a little watery, but still good. beer prices are very cheap. They have a full bar come on down great bar prices.

Very good seafood restaurant. A little out of way for me, but that doesn’t stop me. Their clam strip is a must try. I haven’t find any clam strips near me that are as good as theirs, and that’s saying something. Most of the restaurants’ clam strip taste like fried rubber bands. And their steamed shrimp is also very good. Good size and portion. Actually, I would recommend any of their seafood dishes.
