Spring is springing. Having dinner on the outside deck was a great experience. Attentive staff , great food.

Go see Jourdan at the bar and ask her husband to cook you some fresh seafood ! Way fresher than dockside. Stay classy when you eat on the water!

Justin Riek

2 for 1 appetizers ! Buffalo Shrimp were fantastic - better than the Lobster spring rolls . Wedge Salad was good but it was the size of a side salad making it way too expensive .

Bethany G.

Whatever the fish special is, get it. You can't go wrong.

Diane

Wonderful food and service. Ask for Aubree for server

Sit outside & watch the celebrities stop by.

Just moved to town and was applying for a job. Kyle was incredibly rude. I definitely qualify for the job but I can guarantee I won't be eating or working there,

John Stringfellow

This is a great place.

Don't forget to file with the fuel tax return with NC to receive a refund on your boat fuel.

El muy rico el salmón al estilo japonés; sin embargo, la porción se me hizo pequeña para el precio, la atención muy buena, malo el wifi
