First time here and you know what? Phenomenal, top-notch service in every area.
Food & Drink Quality:
I had the fish and chips — beer-battered grouper with French fries, coleslaw, and a side of tartar sauce. Let me tell you… I’d choose this over Captain D’s any day. The fish was perfectly sweet and ON POINT.
I also had the Summer Fling Lowdown cocktail — super refreshing! My husband had the Hurricane Platter and said everything was delicious. His drink was the Spicy Pineapple Margarita, and he loved every sip.
For dessert, he tried the seasonal crème brûlée — we got the lemon one — and it was gentle, delicious, and a must-try. Big recommendation!
Service:
Big ups to the staff, and a HUGE shoutout to the amazing bartender, Mr. Spencer! He had the most welcoming aura, was super knowledgeable, and didn’t hesitate to ask questions when needed. We watched him behind the bar and could tell he takes pride in his craft. His energy was magnetic, and his recommendations? Spot on.
Environment:
What can I say?! This new spot feels just like home. The décor is soothing and relaxing. The back seating area is absolutely beautiful — I love the nature-inspired touches.
They’re not just a vibe… THEY’RE THEE EXPERIENCE!
