"Great location without question , sitting outside watching the river flow by is a wonderful experience , drinks menu is good , but the food is far from stellar , we ordered 3 dishes & 2 were "off"  , service was reasonable & plenty of parking albeit with a longish walk along the pier before you arrive"

"I give them two stars just for the customer service alone. Full rack of ribs and my 200lb beast of a husband couldn't make himself love them. You know you have a problem. I ordered the shrimp and scallops pasta.., the scallops were so small, I questioned the authenticity. This restaurant sits right on the water.. The ambience was ok but I just was hoping for..."

"Since moving to Palmetto in June of '15, our family of 3 has dined there 5 times, and the appetizers, drinks and food was good ( not incredible but the prices aren't outrageous either) the atmosphere a bit too loud by the bar, but we enjoyed dining there fairly early to beat the crowds, and try to sit as far from the bar as possible. We took a relati..." Read more

"Everyone ordered a different dish and everyone boasted their meal was the best! That's how good their food was. I personally ordered the island time salad and the honey-lime dressing was amazing! Also had a great view of the river. Slightly expensive, but worth every penny"

Notable dishes include the Island Calamari, which is crispy, fresh and full of flavor; the Lobster Corn Chowder, which is creamy with great lobster meat; the Lobster Pot Pie, a bundle of baked goodness; the Cajun Crawfish Burger, which has juicy meat and a great, spicy sauce; the Fish Tacos, which are topped with great aiol..."

"Great view but wow, my partner got sick and threw up right when we got home. The Mahi was uncooked and he took a bite to realize that...though they fixed it along with the bill, it was late. The fish bite was ok but had some weired taste in some of them. Lobster Fritters were ok. My sushi was disappointing, slightly hard rice, with odd ingredients such as ch..." Read more

"I've visited this restaurant several times and it's always a good experience. Excellent views on the water, great food and good service. Recommend the fish tacos! There is quite a hike across the pier from parking area to the restaurant, so, if you aren't the walking type or are too stuffed to make the trek they have a courtesy extended golf cart to take you..."

"Just Ok. Tried it twice, won't go back. Menus are sticky and mine was smeared with what looked like mashed potato (still wet) that I had to wipe off to read. Tacky and messy. For openers, they serve a 'pina colada' sweet white bread with cinnamon butter - too sweet for us. Seriously overcooked and under seasoned vegetables look like t..." Read more

"We came upon this restaurant by accident, driving back north from a visit to Sarasota.Location:  Outstanding, waterfront location.  If you aren't up for the short walk along the docks they have a "trolley" (overgrown golf cart) that will take you from the parking lot to the restaurant.  The restaurant is nicely decorated.Menu:  Not ex..."

"Fantastic Restaurant. We were in the area house-hunting and will be taking ALL of our out-of-towners here. The food is delicious, the location is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and attentive. My fiance ordered the club, because he wasn't in the mood for fish and I got the spicy shrimp app (which is THE best shrimp I've ever had!) and the ahi tuna s..." Read more

"Go here for atmosphere not food or service.I have been here several times to entertain work colleagues.The atmosphere is wonderful.I would say the food is what you would get at an Applebee's. The sides were low quality. Vegetable medley is definitely microwaved and the mashed potatoes were old and dry.It took 15 minutes to get..." Read more
