I have lunched here twice. Best fried shrimp i have ever had. Enjoyed it with the fruit cup. Fruit was fresh and refreshing. Only wish they served cornbread and hush-puppies, a must for a seafood restaurant. I can overlook that, however, and will return whenever I'm in the Ft. Pierce area. Thanks, J, (our daughter-in-law's dad) for taking us here.

The best restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside - and you'll probably look twice, wondering if it is really a restaurant! But the menu is fine dining at it's best in a fun casual atmosphere! Yes, it is small but it is worth the wait to be seated. There is outdoor patio dining with live music too. But... More

Food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. Had the conch salad, lobster mac & cheese, blackened scallops, and peanut butter pie. A hidden gem, will defiantly go back.

This is one of those gems that we look for and seldom find. The food is fresh, creative and delicous. The atmoshere is complelely casual, yet the fare is white tablecloth. It's a pleasure to sit out in the evening and enjoy the vibe and the the pleasures this restaurants offer. Service is friendly and the servings are generous. Finally,... More

Not from the NE but love me some clam chowder. Always get it when I go. Hubby always gets a cup and the crispy grouper sandwich.

There was absolutely nothing I disliked about this restaurant. The service was excellent as the wait staff and the food was excellent. The prices were incredible for the size of your servings. A seafood lovers delight. The only draw back is that it's closed Tuesday's so I had to eat somewhere else.

Great food and presented very well. My favorite is the Florida lobster, The place does not look very attractive from the outside and the dinning area is small, however the food is exceptional. They only serve beer and wine.

I have reviewed this place in the past but never ate there. After my initial review about sitting in a parking lot and leaving because we were expecting a water view. We decided to sit inside and have a meal, after all we had read all the reviews, that said how good it was. The decor is very dark and... More

My hubby and I thought the food was excellent. It was overpriced considering the surroundings, though. I love local places and don't care if they're not fancy. Don't expect to pay $22 for an entree, though, if it's not a little fancy at least! That said the food was REALLY good. The scallops were cooked to perfection. I asked for... More

Crunchy Grouper Sandwich, Fried Shrimp, Lobster Mac & Cheese and Shrimp & Grits with Tomato Gravy - My kids are in town, asked us to take them to our favorite local fish restaurant. This is it for the tourist and locals alike.
