    What a great place to eat! Beautiful Waterfront view Great food Great drinks Great ambiance Great service We booked a reservation for Thursday during the busy summer season and were pleasantly suprised by the availability the day before our planned outing. The beautiful view was accompanied by wonderfully crafted food. I feel like it's hard to find affordable tasty food with a view like this. We started with the ceviche and bread board which both hit the spot pretty well. The ceviche was fresh and tasty with the perfect amount of sweet/salty and acidity. I think there was some kind of tropical fruit in it that really added another element to the dish. The miso butter bread was very hearty yet light, a perfect pairing with our Caesar salad. Wife ordered the key lime pie martini which was so good I wish I had gotten one and wasn't driving. For mains I got the whole fried fish, which was vermillion snapper paired with edamame fried rice and crispy Brussel sprouts. I'm literally salivating thinking of it right now. No complaints on my end. My wife ordered the mushroom fried rice with steak added and after asking for medium rare received well done steak. The waitress was very understanding and offered to take it back and have it made correctly. Unfortunately it came back medium well and at that point we were ready to just eat, and they offered to comp the rice dish which was nice but my wife was still a little disappointed. I understand these things happen and won't fault them for trying to make it right. But it is a little disappointing to have a "fixed" dish come back unfixed. That being said it was still a great meal and we felt very taken care of by our waitress. Would love to come back and give them another shot.

    Love this place! Consistently delicious. Service is always good. We always eat here on vacation and will continue to return. Recommend reservations.

    Justin was a great server! He made our lunch entertaining and we were well taken care of. I was disappointed in the lack of seafood options on the menu for lunch. I ended up getting the seafood Cobb salad which came with 5 jumbo shrimp. The portion was large for $18. My fiancé got the fried shrimp with fries. The fries were cooked well and nice and crispy. We didn't have to wait for a table since it was the off season and enjoyed sitting by the water. Overall, I expected more fresh fish options so I might try another place next time.

    Birthday and Good Friday dinner. Wife's birthday party. Good food and attentive wait staff. Get there early as they get busy. On the water Southport Yacht basin. Birthday cake at the end of dinner to complete an excellent meal.

    Sorry for dark pic but this is shrimp n grits   A bit soupy and huge polenta chunks and bacon   Delish!

    Party of 4 service and all of our meals were spot on Stephanie our waitress was sweet and attentive I had the shrimp n grits which were delicious! Would definitely go again! Ambiance is ok...it's really an outdoor deck which is enclosed in plastic drapery to shield from the outside elements I hate being cold and we were very warm inside:) Nice glimpse of the sunset

    Tilefish special - very good but not sure how the plantains fit in.

    Should be 4.5 stars. Excellent dinner, drinks and service. We sat on the patio area with a nice view of the boat docks and the IWC. Like pretty much everything nowadays, the prices are a bit high, but it was a very enjoyable meal. We had the excellent ceviche to start. It was a decent size bowl of seafood with good flavor. The seared scallops with bok choy and bacon jam was a real winner. Scallops were properly cooked - tasty but still tender. The fresh catch special (tilefish) was another outstanding dish. The salsa Verde and sauted greens worked well. The dish included sauted plantains. These also were very good, but I'm not sure how they fit in with the rest of the dish. Overall a very good experience.

    A real gem! I'm so glad my Uber driver recommended this restaurant because my colleagues and I had an amazing time. The food and drinks were delicious but the service is unparalleled! Also loved the ambiance here as it is situated on the waterfront.

    Wow just wow! Tried this place for the first time today with my friend. Cute spot overlooking boats on the water. Nathin was our waiter and he was delightful! He checked on us often and made our day even more enjoyable. I had two mojito's that were nice and strong. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, very tasty with bits of crab on the top. I had the salmon sandwich and she had the crab cake sandwich, Parmesan fries were really good. Split a crème brûlée. Made in house and light and tasty. Nathin deserves a big fat raise! He's the best waiter I've had at any restaurant since moving here 1.5 years ago. I eat out at least 6 times a month. We will definitely be back soon. Parking can be tough so get there early.

    Pan seared snapper in corn succotash sauce

    Decided to give it another opportunity after a disappointing experience in the fall. We were greeted and seated right away in the main dining room and met Stephanie our server. She was very attentive and pleasant. The cocktails were very good along with the seared tuna and ceviche apps. We both chose the daily fish special, pan seared snapper in a corn succotash sauce. Everything was fresh, presented nicely and tasted great. My only comment would be the $40 per plate for the main seafood dish was too steep. Great waterfront sunset and servers so I'll compromise. Thank you to the manager who sent me a $25 gift card after the fall experience. Cheers to a terrific 2026!

    Beautiful spot, love the oceanside vibes! They sat everyone by the view as best as possible which was nice. All the staff were really friendly and answered all of our questions. I got the shrimp and grits and it was so good! My first time ever having it, however I noticed they cook the grits different, it was more fried. It tasted amazing, especially the shrimp! The only thing was because it was fried it got hard for me to continue eating it since I get acid reflux easily so I was only able to eat one fried grits piece but I did eat all the rest! Would definitely come here again :)

    Love this place The dining views are great the deck area is heater and wind proofed when needed. Even the outdoor dining has well behaved four legged friends area. The menu always has something for everyone. The service has always been prompt and friendly and professional. The bar is well stocked and craft cocktails are very delicious. The mixologist is very capable. Overall a wonderful experience. I guess you could call us regulars. Guilty... they get a 10!

We have been to the restaurant 6 times over the last several years and our visit in March 2026 and last night, May 15th 2026, has prompted me to lower the rating. First, my wife's shrimp cocktail had not been deveined, for $17 dollars would expect the few shrimp to be pristine and ready to eat. Plus the greens that were under the shrimp were not just wilted but "gooey" like they were past their due date. I had the ribeye and ordered it medium rare. It came out well done without a hint of pink. The chefs potatoes last night were a mashed variety and they were cold and stiff enough to lay brick with. Our server, Richard, was friendly enough but he came to our table a total of 4 times in the 70 minutes we were there. Even if we wanted to communicate about our meals preparation it would require for our service to have been better. The lobster bisque was excellent and my wife had a side of fries that were also good. The ambience is lovely and we like the location, but after two recent visits with really poor food and service, we won't be back. To those about to nosh, you have been warned. Go elsewhere.

We were greeted by very friendly staff that seated us in a back corner. No foot traffic over there. Server came by for drink orders and we had some time to look over the large menu. It is your typical diner food. Big portions and all fresh made. We tried the Henny Penny sandwich with side of fries and the Reuben with side of fries. Chicken was cooked perfectly on this wonderful roll. Looked delicious. The Reuben meat was chopped and mixed with the sauce and sauerkraut. Very easy to eat this way. And I love the marble rye bread. Not sure where they get their bread but both sandwiches were amazing. Fries were hot and crispy too. This is a great spot right in the middle of Southport. When we finished and left, almost every table was full, even outside tables. There are only about 8 tables inside, so when they are busy, I'm sure there is a wait.
