    Coconut shrimp
    J L.

    Outdoor seating under huge umbrellas. Relaxed atmosphere. Good food, good drinks. Frozen strawberry margaritas are so refreshing on a warm day. Old fashions are a bit on the sweet side. Great coconut shrimp and rich Shrimp Alfredo. Easy to find off Main Street.

    Over price is an understatement. $35 for a lobster roll that had minimum lobster and robbery taste. $15 for 1 crab cake and the scallop is really not worth it, even though it was only $5. Servers were busy talking to each other rather than checking on guests. Cocktail that tasted like water. Really not worth the money.

    Scallops Casino - I ventured beyond the lobstah roll!  So yummy!

    Really great food and staff! Scallops casino were great! Went out of my lobster roll comfort zone!

    A diamond in the rough of Basalt. The clam chowder was incredible. It was super tasty. The Shrimp in Shannon's Garlic Cream Sauce was my absolute favorite. This is one of those dishes that I could see craving and needing to satisfy that craving. The Baja tacos were ok, but the rest of our lunch was truly fantastically yummy.

    Outdoor settings, located in the center of Basalt old town. Average greasy food with overpriced tags. Served in plastic utensils and paper plates. Cash only! During the Covid it seems unsanitary to handle food and cash with the same hands without gloves.

    Onion rings?

    To start, we ordered this to go and usually am more forgiving on to go orders, but this food just wasn't good. Lobster Roll was OK at best and the shrimp had really good flavor, hence the 2 stars. Agree with others it's quite overpriced and packed with mayo and lettuce. French fries were exactly like everyone else's reviews state, directly from a frozen bag. Not only that, they were under cooked and soggy. Some we still cold. Onion rings really don't need any explanation. Just see picture. As far as service, I agree with the other posts about their attitude and treatment of customers. For the 5 minutes I waited for my to-go order, multiple comments were made by bartender about some customer who didn't tip well I guess. Loud enough so that anyone at the bar could here. Pretty sure the owner was standing right there and didn't say a word. Last, don't add gratuity on a 2 meal to-go order. That's just tacky.

    I stumbled upon this adorable little place after a hike. I really wanted to love this place but when I sat down at the small bar all I could hear was the owner complain/freak out about everything. I use to be a server, bartender and manager so I understand if you're in the weeds, but you dont act like that in front of customers or really should you ever if you're in the biz. I felt bad for the other employee that had to put up with that behavior and handle everything (getting water for customers, taking food orders, bussing tables, running food). The lobster roll was nothing exciting. Drank water, ate the lobster roll and got out of there asap.

    Over priced and VERY Slow service! They DO NOT know how to handle a busy evening. Small portions that took forever to be served.
