GREAT food! So many choices that sounded great. I picked shrimp tacos and it did not disappoint…read more The only complaint was very slow service and we waited a long time between drinks then apps and then main course but waitress apologized and said only two people were working in the kitchen that night but the food came out hot and fresh so I can understand short staffing and it didn't affect food quality. Also with the garage doors open there was a beautiful view and wonderful environment but man o man--there were tons of flies all around. Not the fault of the restaurant more of nature but swatting 4-5 flies all night wasn't fun. Of that really bothers you I'd steer away from sitting inside--maybe outside they're not as annoying since there is open environment???

Worst meal out all year. Went with the wife for a nice evening by the water. The food was…read moreexceptionally poor. Her roasted potatoes were crunchy, not crispy. Half cooked at best. Same with the roasted Brussels. Rock hard and legitimately cold on the inside. While it seemed like decent quality ingredients they were prepared so poorly it makes me question the quality control throughout. Two stars because our waitress handled it well and was very nice. She exhibited the appropriate amount of shame for what her kitchen produced that one would expect. We will not be returning. At least until next year when some new owner will likely take over. We were really excited to try this place and just wish it was half as good as it pretends to be.

Our server, Raul, quickly took our drink orders and before you could say "burrito" we had our drinks and chips and salsa delivered!. We did order some queso as well and it was warm, rich and creamy. My friend ordered the Philly cheesesteak burrito which was humongous! He could only eat half! We split the chicken fajitas which came out sizzling hot with peppers and onions tortillas, with rice and black beans. Delish! The prices didn't empty our wallet, and we will definitely come back! Just in queso you missed it, this place rocks!

It was tough to peel, but it was worth every minute of it.. We had hoped for outside dining, but there is no seating outside on the water. it was freezing inside of the restaurant. We heard some other tables complaining about it as well. Again, we didn't eat anything else off the menu, but the crab legs and the spiced shrimp, and of course, the hush puppies that they give you when they first sit you at the table. This was all delicious. I forgot my son did get the crab fries. They were not great. Not what we would've thought of when we thought of cheddar crab fries.

We came here for a lunch get-together, as one of our counterparts was craving for a sandwich. I knew I wanted to try their Philly Steak, opting out of the green peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes; this came with chopped sirloin steak, mayo, and white American cheese no a toasted bun. Subs come in a 6" or 12", in which I opted for the 6". The sub itself was pretty okay; it was generously filled, beefy, and filling. The bread itself could have been better, as it was a little dry. They had a nice selection of Herr's chips, with various flavors I haven't seen before - we tried the Cheese Ravioli and Marinara flavored ones, and they were interesting! Staff were friendly, but the individual who was preparing the sandwiches seemed to be super overwhelmed in keeping up with the orders; she seemed a bit exasperated when asked for a side of missing toppings (such as the pickled jalapenos), getting the bathroom door unlocked, etc. Some of the other sandwiches that were prepared gave off some strong odors, particularly the proteins that were being cooked on the grill. This could be an issue for those who are sensitive to smells. The place doesn't have a sign, but it's near Domino's and Top's China. Located in The Shops at Beach Gate, there's plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. +decent subs +handful of seating inside

The escargot were some of the best I've had and the broth was so good I sopped it up with fresh rolls. Sauteed calamari was excellent but I would have preferred jarred kalamatas over the canned black olives. The homemade spring rolls were excellent with a nice crunch and a simple filling of seasoned potatoes and vegetables. Our entrees were excellent. My wife had the fillet which was prepared au poivre and perfectly cooked. My duck breast was perfection and the reduction was divine. Once again, I put my bread to use for sopping up every drop. My only criticism is that most of the dishes seem to come with a standard medley of baby carrots and fresh crisp broccoli, a few new potatoes, and a mold of cous cous atop a oiece of grilled zucchini. Rice would have been a nice option. Overall a positive experience and we'll be back.
