    The waitress brought my daughter's dish as we were finishing up and my wife's side dish as we were paying the check. The food was overcooked and dry. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this place.

    The scenic waterfront view was perfect and there was no wait to be seated. We tried the crab pretzel and kokos crazy wings in spicy bbq. The pretzel was average, the wings decent with a little kick. He ordered the seafood platter which apparently no one changes out the fried oysters (hes not an oyster fan). He wished there was more scallops as they were his absolute favorite. I went with the ny strip which was perfectly cooked to medium (i asked medium well since there was not a chart) but i found the glaze to be very Worcestershire heavy and salty for my taste. The potatoes were the worst part of the entire meal, tasting bland and on the verge of instant but overall the meal was enjoyable. Service was attentive and our server did offer to ask the kitchen to switch the oysters out. We plan to go back for beers on the beach this summer.

    6 of us meet up for dinner every month. We always pick a different restaurant that is convenient for all of us. The Seasoned Mariner was very very good! We were seated quickly and service was very attentive but not overbearing. Cream of Crab soup was delish and Cod Cakes excellent. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. I got the Slider Trio (crabcake, fish and shrimp salad) and loved it. One complaint was while the guys drink beer, us girls like our fancy cocktails and the most they had were Crushes which were so-so. I will definitely go back, the view in the spring/ summer must be really nice!!

    Our waitress, Jenn, was great. She was attentive and friendly, and made great recommendations. Hey he food was awesome. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and so tender. The ambiance leaves a lot to be desired, but otherwise, it was a great experience.

    Took over an hour for entree to arrive after salad. Steak was over cooked and presentation was poor. It looked like everything was thrown on the plate with dried out garnish. Sent it back and removed from check. Went elsewhere and got pizza. Manager did attempt to rectify by comping a round of drinks and charged 1/2 price for other entree.

    It was our first time here. Was told to sit anywhere.the room was completly empty, which concerned us. We picked a corner seat by a window. There was a party on the deck so we couldnt go out there. The service was ok. Not the best not the worst. The food was awesome. I had the scallops which i highly recomend. I would return when i am in the mood for seafood, however i would probably ask for it to go, as the atmosphere was less than desirable. I would recomend updating the decor other than that it is a awesome place for seafood.

    Chose to eat inside because outside was off and on rain. window view was nice. Service very good and food was surprisingly good. Enjoined the coconut shrimp , both crab soups, crab cake, calamari and drinks. My soft crab was too small to fill up a sandwich so that was disappointing. Not a big fan of Dottie's coddies either. We will be back!

    It was Fathers Day and we sat at the bar. She was very attentive. There were only a few people here which surprised us but it was not a great weather day, very humid with possible rain. The food surprised us, it was very good, fresh and prepared well. we would definitely come here again to enjoy the outside area which looks really cool.

    The seafood was so fresh and delicious! Our portions of the Smith Island Stew and seafood platter were large enough to share. Overall, it was a good experience and we'd definitely come back here. Other patrons were having crabs, so it's mostly likely a crab house style restaurant. They had a cute outdoor area by the water too, but it was far too hot to sit there.

    Alot of the customers gave ugly looks to me and my mother on Mother's Day 2017. We were absolutely the only African Americans in the entire restaurant and they made sure we knew it. People that came in after us got their food first.

    Went last night for first time booked through open table and ask if possible could they put a little note saying Happy Anniversary to our friends. Not only was there a note there were flowers a candle table cloth and little hearts.. They had our table set up so we had this amazing view. Went way beyond what was asked. Now for our service can't rave enough about Julia and everyone else. So attentive offered great drink suggestions and they were wonderful. Our food was incredible portions seriously of the best meals we have had . The owners came over and wished our friends a happy anniversary. i truly cannot say enough how wonderful of an experience we had a true gem. Will be back many times. Thank you for an amazing memorable night.

    We took my husband's grandmother here for Easter, having never heard of it. The food was fantastic! It sits right on the water and the view was relaxing and comfortable. There is an outside area with some (old) play things for kids which kept our 3 year old plenty entertained while we ate. Will definitely go back!

    We were looking for somewhere different to eat and found this gem. Place was empty but probably in warmer weather it's crowded. Food was excellent. There were 7 of us and everyone enjoyed their meals. We'll definitely go back. Nice view too.

    Decent place. Too bad it was dark or the view would have been incredible. Service was a bit sparse and slow for only having 2 tables seated in the entire restaurant. Crab imperial was lump crab on top only. Seafood Alfredo was very skimpy on scallops and shrimp. Had to ask for berry sauce for the cheesecake and came out with a light drizzle. It just seemed like we had to keep asking the waitress for the basics.

    The service could not be better. Julia was our server and she was friendly and attentive. The food was well made - Stuffed Red Snapper was perfectly prepared and overstuffed with delicious crab. Recommend the stuffed mushrooms too! The Peach sangria also was unusual and very tasty. Large portions all around. I wan to make this a regular haunt.

    Out of the three of us in the restaurant I heard the N-word thrown around profusely. Luckily the bartender -shut it down. Or at least tried to. I'm from the south and I was very uncomfortable.
