This was located around the corner from our rental. It didnt look great from the outside, but inside was great. A little cramped when all the tables were busy, but well worth it.

Was suggested to try this from a local store owner and had high hopes. Had the 8oz filet and ordered it medium and it came out with no red but was really moist and tender. Ocerall the steak was good. My wife had the ribs and they were sub par. We also tried the crab cakes and were very disappointed.... More

No windows and sticky floors. The oysters were really top notch however. My wife's drink was clearly made using a powdered drink mix (not her favorite)

We visited on a Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent. My brother and husband got the fra diovolo which was excellent, I had the Mahi Mahi - also wonderful, and my mom the scallops (she was raving). My only complaint was that the mashed potatoes were only luke warm, but besides that, we found this... More

Small restaurant but nicely redecorated. The food was very good, but the services was a little slow, even in the off season when it wasn't extremely crowded.

One of only two restaurants open during the off-season in the Corolla area. Service was friendly. Bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer was yummy. The rest in my group enjoyed their seafood platters. Ordered a filet Bearnaise medium, but received it well done. Steak has been frozen or a low quality cut, very mealy texture for a filet. Overall, not a very... More

My girlfriend and I stopped in and got 2 teas. Looked at the menu, and we had to leave because the prices were out of our range. The server was very understanding and gave us te drinks on the house.

We came here for New Years Eve - the food was hot and freshly prepared. Especially good were the ribs - very tasty and melt in your mouth. They did run out of a few items such as Prime Rib and Ribeye Steak, but the filet they substituted was excellent. At the end, we felt like we were very rushed... More

Found this place quite by accident and go back year after year. The menu is inventive and food is consistently good. Their specials are the way to go. Fresh, fabulous and fun. Not exactly what I would call a family restaurant, more for adults in my opinion.

This place was OK, but the prices were a bit high. My wife thought there was something wrong with the water there. I ordered the Crab Cakes, which I thought were perfect. She ordered the Special, which consisted of crab stuffed shrimp, which she said tasted a bit off. Over all, it seems like an OK place to eat, but... More
