Everyone comes here in the summer, so visit Friday or Saturday if you want to see every single person you've ever gone to school with. Quick service and good drinks!

Every once in a while, you'll ask for a Corona. And you'll get said Corona but it will be lacking in lime . That's a tragedy. Otherwise this place is pretty cool, so have fun!!

Had lunch there, few hours later I am feeling sick. This place serves cocktail sauce in little unchilled containers so bacteria city Plus the food is over priced low grade dog food. Call Bar rescue

Kevin Cavell

nicely prepared seafood with great views . Too bad its closed for the season.

Food is terrible. Service is almost as bad as the food BUT if I just want to drink by the water it's fine

Good hang out for some drinks during the summer months .

Food was terrible I have to order something fried, that way I can be sure that the bacteria on the food has been killed in the hot grease.Service is awful and wait staff is inattentive and rude.
