    Oysters were awesome, rest of the food wasn’t that great, never relieved any gluten free bread for our 1 quest, slow on drinks coming out. Over all quality has gone down over the years. Was hoping for a better outcome.

    First of all the good, the staff genuinely wanted us to be comfortable, and moved us from outside to inside to a nice table when I was concerned about the heat, there just are not enough fans inside or out, but the staff did their best and were very attentive. We ordered the bang bang shrimp for an appetizer and it was delicious! The bread with honey butter they bring to the table was amazing. A couple of us ordered the crab cake which was really good, and a lot better than I expected it to be. A little drier than the best ones I’ve had at Cafe 30a in on the Florida panhandle. My husband had the burger and loved it with the fries. I was expecting a more quiet environment and certainly wasn’t expecting it to be so hot inside. They really need to invest in more fans.

    My wife booked this place for our 5 year anniversary. To begin with we had to wait for 25 minutes, just to go inside and stand by the gift shop for another 45 minutes. I have 2 stars bc the waiter was very nice and even brought the manger to the table to check on food allergies. However, folks, I've been around long enough to know that meals... come with sides. The waiter never asked what sides we would like, nor did he mention the meals ( $37) each, did not include sides. So here i am with salmon and 4 carrots, and wife with a 3oz blue fin tuna served with a few green peppers and that's it, for $ 37-45 each, that's it. I had to order a sweet potatoes separate and was charged separate for it. By the time we got the potato, we were done with our 3 oz meats. Super super disappointed

    Wait was long but we loved the experience with our server Geo, who is fantastic and 100% hospitality expert. Food and drinks were great, live music was fun. Our birthday girl got a giant slice of ice cream which we all enjoyed (it was at least a foot tall).

    We came here 2 times on our long weekend to Disney. We didn’t think they could top the first night and they sure did - even on a busy Saturday night. Service was top notch and the food was amazing! Mike was our server and he was the best!
