Service…read morewas great, food was amazing, we had a reservation so we were seated right away, and we like the vibe here. Even though you are in a strip mall, this is a comfortable location. We started with an appetizer we have not had before and we really enjoyed it. Get the Crab dip. You get a hot, bubbly dish of the dip with some fried pita chips. Get some bread at the table too, so you can enjoy the dip if you run out of chips. My husband loved it so much he ate it plain. We got some excellent entrees this time. We had the Figure 8 stuffed flounder. Instead of the green beans and risotto, he got risotto cakes and sautéed spinach. Risotto cakes are really good. Nice and crispy and so tasty. We also had the lemon pepper scallops with risotto cakes and asparagus. We really enjoyed everything and our server was so nice. I didn't take a pic but I also had the handcrafted lemonade which is delicious. Unfortunately no room for dessert, but they have some yummy selections to try. We have enjoyed coming here repeatedly and do enjoy this place. We have had very few minor issues that were not deal breakers for coming in. As with any restaurant, they will have some minor flaws. Overall it is consistently good.

They just have a miserable kitchen staff or lack of leadership at management level. It will be a very long time before we return, but Dan and Jason at the bar were amazing! It is a sad situation that the "seafood" meals are hosed up! 2 stars as my chicken sandwich was decent. So disappointing! Such a cute place

Service is welcoming and professional. They have daily specials. My husband and I ordered the crab dip and hush puppies for appetizers. The hush puppies were perfectly fried and slightly sweet. They were served with a seasoned butter. The crab dip was served with toasted French bread as an option. The crab dip was delicious. For dinner my husband ordered the shrimp po boy and really liked the shrimp. I had the fried shrimp platter. It came with coleslaw, string fries, and hush puppies. The shrimp were large, breaded but not greasy. They were fresh and very well seasoned. We really enjoyed our dinner here and would definitely go back.

The interior is gorgeous, the staff are extremely professional and friendly, and the food is wonderful. The menu changes seasonally so don't be surprised if it's different than what you find online.

Lol, I ordered a crab cake and my son ordered the Wellington sub (I probaly got the name wrong). My crab cake sandwich was okay, but I must mention that it was big in size. My son loved the Wellington sub , the fries with the gravy sauce was amazing. Our server was amazing , service was awesome. The Restaurant itself was tidy and well kept and good times were awesome.

This little out-of-the-way place gets my vote for the best seafood in Carolina Beach! Everything we…read morehad was fresh, flavorful, and delicious--and the best part was that it wasn't fried. They do have fried options on the menu, but we chose the fresh, lighter choices and were so glad we did. The homemade soups were fantastic. He tried both the lobster bisque and the New England clam chowder, and we also had the spinach salad with poppy seed dressing--absolutely delicious! Then we tried the daily special: a blackened shrimp wrap with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. You could tell the potatoes were homemade, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. I wish we had discovered it years ago! Hands down, one of the best places I've eaten in Carolina Beach in many years. We will definitely be back as soon as possible!

The catch of the day was blackened swordfish and it was fantastic. My wife had the crab cake sandwich and it was amazing. But the part that I loved the most was my son's fish sticks.

This wasn't my first visit but it's been years since I was here. Glad to see it's still going strong. It stays as my top recommendation for folks coming to Carolina Beach

They have a pasta special of the day and the server let me know it was a Cajun Alfredo that you could add a catch of the day (at the time salmon, grouper', and swordfish.). I chose the Cajun Alfredo with Salmon. I was a little disappointed because the Alfredo wasn't seasoned like Cajun, but neither was the Salmon. The Salmon was done well but it wasn't Cajun, really just felt like salt and pepper. The Alfredo itself needed some extra pepper as well. I give it 3 stars because I do think getting just the catch of the day special would be delicious, maybe my dish just wasn't the best.

The interior was clean, but if you're hoping for waterfront scenery, the indoor views are lacking, we couldn't see much of the water from inside. Keep in mind that while there is outdoor seating, it isn't well-protected from rain, so keep an eye on the forecast if you plan to sit outside. On the plus side, parking is a breeze; they have a large, free lot that easily accommodated our full-size truck. We sat down for dinner around 5:00 PM and started with the crab dip and a cup of New England chowder. The crab dip arrived hot; it had a slight fishiness to it, but was decent overall. The chowder arrived lukewarm, though the flavor was good enough to make up for the temperature. For entrees, we tried the newly added sweet corn risotto and the lightly blackened seafood trio. The risotto was excellent (though I wish it came with a few more scallops!), while the seafood trio was just average, good, but nothing spectacular. Service fell a bit short during our visit. Drinks weren't refilled promptly, and we experienced a few lulls, waiting over 10 minutes for appetizers and another 10+ minutes just to get our final check. A small detail, but there were no coasters or napkins provided for our cold drinks, which left the table wet and dripping on the sides from condensation throughout the meal. Overall: A decent spot with easy parking and a few standout dishes, but speed of service, indoor view placement, and small details could be dialed in.

The staff was so welcoming and efficient. The view was amazing and food was delicious!read more
