"I'm tired of trying to type a review that is good enough for Yelp to say it's good enough. What I will say is that if you are in the area, you need to swing by. Part of me wants to keep this place secret so it won't be busy next time I swing by but the secret is already out. This place is awesome!"

"Service was amazing, had a great server on the deck and the food was superb. A delightful spot and a very wonderful dining experience! Happy hour appetizers and drinks are an awesome bargain. The green goddess shrimp & ribs were to die for!"

"We are new to the area and have now been here 5 or 6 times. Each time we order something new. We haven't been disappointed yet and really enjoy sitting on the patio and watching the sunset. Service is good too."

"Very, very nice restaurant. The food is delicious and fair-priced ($$) and the ambience is very comfortable and inviting. I got a wonderful seat inside by the window to look out at the water. Very busy place, but I was seated with no wait time.To start off, I ordered coffee to drink and for an appetizer I got their calamari. Most calamari I've had is..." Read more

"The snook deck outside is great for happy hour (3-6 pm). The location right on the Manatee river is great. Drinks are $3-5 and small plates of food are $5. You will not be satisfied with one or even two small plates, but at least you can try different items for a reasonable price. The customer service has been good every time. I have been coming to this rest..." Read more

"Awesome lunch and great service. My 82 yr old parents are still talking about their 5star lobster pot pie. The view of the marina & river is one of the best spots on the Manatee River. We will return soon!"

"Visited this on a recommendation and could not have been happier. The setting was great for sunset dinner. Service was outstanding. The waiter was there before you asked. Both my wife and I had seafood and the portions are great and the food was superb. Definitely going to be a regular stop when visiting the area."

"Great service, an outstanding meal and delicious dessert to top it all. My husband and I started out with an order of Goddess Shrimp. We're both convinced that is some of the best shrimp we've had. The bread that was brought out was baked to perfection and served with a cinnamon butter. De-licious. We each order different fish from the dinner meals. Both mea..." Read more

Not as spicy as home though.The housemade chips were amazing, though the coleslaw was..." Read more

"While visiting in Florida recently, we dined here with my wife's family. The first thing that you love about this restaurant is the view...it's right on the water. Unfortunately, we were here on a rainy day. In nice weather, sitting outside would be ideal. Two things to get to before the main courses...1) The bread was good, but the cinnamon butter t..."

"Had an excellent lunch here yesterday. Great view, great drinks, great food, & great service. We split coconut shrimp as an appetizer - they were perfectly fried and the dipping sauce tasted homemade. I had the scallops wrapped in bacon appetizer and a side of fried shrimp for my meal. Again, all perfectly cooked with excellent fresh sauces. Other 3 had..." Read more

"UPDATE: We went back a few nights later, and had better service than before. Our waitress (Ariel) was very busy but she frequently came by to check on us and ask if there was anything else we needed. The food and view were still 5 star quality, so Ariel is why I am changing my rating to 5 stars! Food = 5 stars. View = 5 stars. The service, however, w..." Read more

"Lobster Pot Pie? WOW! It was fabulous. So were the fish tacos my wife devoured. The server was the best - friendly, informative, very courteous. It was a fantastic lunch experience and we will most certainly return especially when it's a little warmer so we can enjoy eating on the outside deck."

"We arrived (party of two) around 7:00pm, we were told it was 45-50 minute wait. In the middle of a couple great margaritas, 15 minutes later, our table was ready. Our waitress made our getaway night, great! We started off with the island calamari. Our entrees included a combination seafood platter and blacken shrimp with Cajun remoulade sauce. Great foo..."
