We were seated right away, but I saw another group of 3 wait so long to be seated that they left. The ambiance is fantastic and the servers were friendly, although not attentive. The food was so good and the margaritas went down smoothly! But we sat with empty drinks a lot and slow service. Thankfully, we (my boyfriend and I ) enjoy each other's company immensely. If we didn't, it would have been a frustrating experience. Will I go back? Of course. Will I recommend it to others? Yes, but don't be in a hurry. You're on island time.

For Dan: a dozen oysters on the half shell dressed to the nines - the man uses every add on available. Had I not paced myself, I would have been through with my six before he even started! He also had the crudo and he helped me with the crispy delicious fries that accompany Captain Johnny's shrimp taco. His drink of choice was a Red Stripe. Y'all it was so, so good. The oysters were perfect in size and flavor, the crudo had a punchy Asian sauce with sesame seeds, and the oddly delightful shrimp taco and fries knocked it out of the park. My advice, go and prepare to be sated (autocorrect wanted this to be dated!) and pleased!

Now we get it. The service was on point from the start--even with a big group (which can sometimes feel like you just signed the staff up for a group project they didn't ask for ), they were super gracious and handled everything like pros. Food? So good. Tons of breakfast AND lunch options, so everyone was happy (no small feat with a group, let's be real). And the real MVP... the coffee. It just kept coming. No empty cup anxiety here, which is basically the cornerstone of a successful brunch. Great vibes, great food, great service--even when it got busy. 10/10 would absolutely come back (and yes, I'll be thinking about that coffee).

The brisket was good and appears to be their most popular item (they run out frequently). But I've had other brisket that I like better. I like their bbq sauce and they gave an ample portion on the side. It's a small place and there is no eating inside although they have outdoor seating. It's counter service.
