The view and the breeze made it all worth it, but overall, a disappointing dining experience. We…read morestarted off with the buffalo shrimp and she crab soup. The shrimp was exactly as the name would suggest- nothing special but tasty. The soup was probably the best part, taste-wise. I ordered the filet and it came out overcooked and dry- something akin to a hockey puck. Our server was excellent and saw it within minutes and brought me a new plate. The second was juicy and cooked perfectly, however I think this restaurant is scared of seasoning. The garlic butter on the steak was the only hint of flavor- I had to heavily salt the asparagus and mashed potatoes to get them down. No seasoning at all. My partner got the mahi mahi and while the flavor was okay, everything was dry and muted. Eating on the deck made it all worthwhile, but I think next time I'll just got for the view and apps.

Casual with amazing food and drinks. We ordered the Shrimp Nachos. OMG, the platter was piled high with crunchy homemade tortilla chips layered with actual real cheese (not cheap "cheese sauce") lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, banana peppers, avocado, and a generous amount of shrimp. If you see a chip with a bubble-those were my favorite. So delicious and could have been a meal for both of us to split. We also got The Gaff and it was absolutely delicious. The French fries are house cut and they were fantastic. Our drinks were great. Our server was attentive despite it being really busy. We will go back again this week while we're here.

Inside, the music was dulled until the door swung open. Service was prompt and friendly. Dinner entrees included puppies (again), citrus tuna (again), parm encrusted Mahi, and two NC shrimp and grits. The citus tuna salad was just as good as last year, and the parmesean Mahi was flavorful (especially the tomatoes!) and worked very well with the bed of risotto on which it was served. Both who selected shrimp and grits were pleased but noted the grits were thin (soupy), but tasty! Even though our party claimed to be full, there was zero difficulty knocking out a basket of funnel cake fries. Gaffer's is fast becoming regular territory on our visits to the island.

We were not that hungry but I will tell you that side salad with the sweet sticky croissant filled me up. The booths are in need of more foam. When we walked in there was a strange smell to the place but it went away. The restaurant did look clean and at noon on a Friday is was dead. BUT the summer is coming and you won't be able to get in here, so we were so happy to stop by before tourism hits.

Plus for a group of 6, it all came out within minutes. The lack of preparation is what our food tasted like. We all drove over 45 minutes to have dinner here (and 45 back) so that was a bit of a bummer. Sure, their croissants are good, but they also over-charge for those too now. Had to take what we ordered home so we could fix it up ourselves. Kind of disappointed in how this Rucker John's in EI went up higher in prices, but decreased tremendously in food quality. A plus side- server was very sweet and did a good job taking care of our group and keeping drinks filled.
