A chill place to grab a drink and light bite to eat on the water. The menu has seafood and non seafood options, beers, and cocktails. There is table service, although when we came you did have to seat yourself. There is also a stage for live music which could be fun.

My bloody mary was solid - nothing unusual or fancy but still tasty. I would also recommend the crab cake sandwich. I know that pairing may sound odd but it was what I was in the mood for!

As I mentioned, we seated ourselves but our waitress made herself known fairly quickly and we didn't need to wait long to order drinks (or food). We also didn't need to wait long for our food and drinks.

We came on a somewhat quiet holiday mid-day. I'm sure it gets a lot more exciting at night or the weekend. Either way, I'd still recommend checking them out as their food and drink hit the...

Why change a good thing???? We have loved going here for years and have been excited about opening day of 2023 season. I was excited to sit down, relax and enjoy the amazing waitstaff, that has been there for years. Unfortunately, besides drink service, you have to serve yourself. (amazing waitresses are still there) No menus (scan the damn QR code).......pay on the app, and then go to the food truck and pick up your food. I don't know about you, but when I go out to eat/drink, I'd rather enjoy myself and not go through the hassle of all that. The menu seems smaller and the worse part was.....THEY CHANGED THIER FRIES !!! They used to have the best fries that we would always look forward to. I'm hoping that these changes are just because they just opened, but today's visit was...

Nice location but horrible service. Initially sat just outside the bar looking over the water and we're told a server would be by. After 15-20 min of no service we decided to move to the bar to try and get service. Luckily someone did come by and asked us what we wanted! When we asked if they had draft she looked at is like we had just look stabbed a baby kitten. She went on to say they had cans or bottles without elaboration. The website says they have the best drinks on the island but when I asked if they had a drink meme again she paused and looked at me like I was asking an absurd question. Needles to say my friends and I have no idea what kind of drinks they have our of they taste decent because we left due to...

Delicious! Crabcake sandwich was tasty and fixed my Grilled Shrimp Ceasar Salad PERFECT w/special order of tomatoes & onions mixed throughout. I really enjoyed your refreshing Ceasar salad dressing. And, the BEST was your homemade shoestring french fries! They tasted BETTER than the big OC fries. Truth! The live entertainment, Bryan Hanifee, was right on perfect key. He sings beautifully! Thanks for having him there!!! Can't wait for that party!!!

I ordered the Phillips Crab dip and this is what I got. 🤮 I sent it back and asked the waitress to please remove it from my check. She said she wasn't allowed to unless something was wrong with it. She did replace it with more pretzels and cheese dip. I've eaten a lot of crab dip including Phillips and have never seen any that looked, tasted or smelled like this. 🤮 Look at the picture and decide for yourself! Absolutely disgusting!
