Everything was hood and fresh. Deliciously seasoned! The lobster was amazing! Decor very casual but the food is 5star!
Get the poke appetizer , very good. Of all the tacos , the blackened swordfish is the best. Skip the lobster tacos . Ask for extra tortillas as the ones they serve with the tacos get soggy.
The food is amazing! You Def. Need to come out here and try it! Super friendly and fast service . Try the poke !
The seafood is fresh. You'll need to doctor up the dishes. Break out the Tapatio . Add a little salt and pepper with lemon juice to the mayo . Good local joint.
Avoid the temptation and do not get the lobster taco . The meat is claw meat from Maine and is a little chewy. All the grilled fish tacos are dank, though. Try your favorite fish blackened!
Clam chowder and lobster salad were great for lunch !
I tried seafood skewer (kabob ), chowders , and fish and chips . All was really good
While it lacks a happy hour menu , it has amazing food and beer for the price and extremely fast and friendly service . A pool table and TVs are available too. A+
No frills, but fresh fish restaurant- go early as they don’t take reservations . Sea bass is good.
Good food, awesome atmosphere and GREAT service! A plus that in off season they stay open late (10pm!)
We had the seafood pasta . It was enough to share with someone else. Make sure you try the monkey balls !
first time here for dinner took almost two hours to get food. The food was so good we came back next day for lunch . Fast excellent service and still so good
Get the pancake breakfast shot ! Comes with bacon , orange juice , and a buttercream shot!!! So good!
Wonderful food! Wonderful service! We will be back again!!!!!! Yummmmmmmy!!!!!!!!
Decent food compared to other places on the island .
local lobster > maine lobster ! soo sweet and perfect! must eat!! ;)
Service was subpar for a big group, but the food was great. I'd recommend staying with the Seafood . (Lobster , ironically is not always available)...
Swordfish Tacos...MmmmmmClam Chowder so good that people who hate clams will moan over it. *swoony swoon swoon*
Coconut Shrimp Tacos and Poke ! Can't go wrong!

Clam chowder was heavenly. Blackened swordfish tacos were okay. Meat was too salty.
