“Oysters were excellent and margaritas were cheap!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

What more can I say? We biked on the beach over to this very casual, highly recommended outdoor bar restaurant and were not disappointed. Well priced menu with a surprising variety of choices. We went during happy hour and the "well" margaritas were $4.25. They were delicious!
Raw oysters, Cajon scallops, shrimp Aioli, and oysters rockerfeller were all very good.

Recommend going on the early side to avoid having to wait. We went at 5 PM and were seated right away. Our waiter Josh was very attentive and never made us feel rushed.

“Don't bother!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

We read the reviews and thought what the heck, lets do it. We were so disappointed! The restaurant was difficult to locate, and difficult to get to, the map was not right. Once we got there we stood around trying to figure out if we seated ourselves, or were seated. We were seated, then waited for service, and waited. We placed our order, received our food, ate the left. The food was not worth it at all. We over payed for mediocre food! We were entertained by the live music. Really don't waste your time and money here.

“S.O.B.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

The first night we went there we had Doug as our server and he was hilarious and definitely gave wonderful recommendations! Loved the Shrimp Aioli (nice kick to it) and the special which was shrimp was also amazing! The second time we went, we brought our own Red Grouper to have them cook and they did a beautiful job with it. However, the blond spiky haired waitress we had was a pretty big damper on our evening. Definitely hope she is not there next time we visit. The music was perfect though and the food was exceptional!
