At first, we were a little surprised because it was a Friday night, and the crowd was light. It did not matter the food and the service was outstanding. We had the jerk chicken nachos. we also had the Aji tuna tacos, and shrimp bang bang tacos. phenomenal. Dessert was Off The Chain. They had a fried cheesecake. That was probably the best dessert I've had in at least five years. Pricing was reasonable and highly recommend I regret not taking any pictures at the restaurant, but I took some photos at a beautiful park just before we got there. It's called Washington Oak.

We ordered The Classic and added a pound of scallops and a pound of shrimp. The sausage is delicious and seafood is so fresh! Everyone ate until we were so stuffed we couldn't take another bite. Spiced perfectly, and the directions are so easy to follow! So so good! We added cornbread muffins and key lime pie to the order as well. The cornbread was so delicious my guests thought it tasted like desert! And I have to know who made the key lime pie! Best key lime that I've had locally! Both were such a fantastic compliment to our meal! I would give more than five stars if I could!

Our waitress was Jenny and she was absolutely wonderful. I got the fried shrimp and soft shell crab combo and Jenny informed me they had collards and claimed they were some of the best she'd ever tasted. I was skeptical at first. Not gonna lie. And you know who else didn't lie? Jenny. Those were undoubtedly the best restaurant collards I've ever had. Period. Jenny and I bonded over those greens. My husband had the soft shell crab and fried oyster combo and he was also very happy with his choices. Coleslaw was great. Fries were great. I cannot find one negative thing about this place and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants great seafood at a very affordable price. Portions were huge for the money also.

Plenty of parking- yep a very popular place and worth visiting. So 5/5.

Earlier than normal, and quite honestly the perfect time for an early table…read more Calamari was good, the sliced fried peppers are an added treat that cut through the breading just right. The Redfish was perfectly cooked and my Piccata was absolute perfection. The angel hair pasta was cooked just right. Really, everything was very good. We were an early table and maybe between shifts, but we felt ignored. Easily added 30+ mins to our visit. Can't give top marks on this visit, our first. But not last. Next time we're in the area!

Not being a pasta person, I really don't know how the cavatoppi (sp?) tasted, but the shrimp. Now, I am not talking little popcorn Shrimp, I am talking big ole shrimp. I did try half of one, yes, I said half a piece of shrimp. That is how large they are. Our waitress, Diane took care of us like we were family. Actually, she appeared to treat everyone that way! I loved the decor, and did I mention how great the entire staff was?? Despite the long line, but little wait time, this restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. I wanted to mention, there is upstairs seating also.

Once we arrived, we were seated in a comfortable booth outside - the beach area can get hot, but this restaurant has good covering and plenty of fans blowing. The food itself is casual beach fare... Crab dip, shrimp and everything was just wonderful. Iced tea drinks were refilled frequently, and service was overall excellent. Pricing is very reasonable, and a good value for the area. This was a fun place to spend a Sunday afternoon, and we'll definitely be back.
