We had lunch here on our way out of town. Loved the decor and the food was good too. A nice variety on the menu for the seafood lovers and those who prefer something else. Our grandsons loved the pirates and nautical decor and of course, the souvenir shop!

This establishment was a combo restaurant & souvenir shop; which was not entirely a bad idea if you have to wait as we did for close to an hour. We were there late on a week night and when finally seated there were only 3 other tables occupied. I still have not been able to figure out the long wait... More

This place has good food but might be a little expensive depending on what you order. We had cheese sticks, 2 hamburger plates, a grilled chicken dinner, 3 cokes, and it was $60. Not too bad for the meals we got and it was all good.

Disappointment this time around, went a year ago service and food was much better. Food was not as good, always get Mahi Mahi and didn't taste the same. Service was rude and took a long time for waiter to attend us.
