Nice spot to get off the boat and have a meal and a drink. Got there right when it opened, and they were quick to greet and seat. Servers are very friendly. Food was good at a reasonable price

It was my first time at this wonderful place, with girlfriends! We love the atmosphere as it’s a very welcoming place. You can enjoy nature away from the crowds. We were celebrating a bachelorette and the service was great and fun (supporting the tasks we asked our bachelorette to do at the place)! Drinks and food were great, we had mostly appetizers. We will definitely be back with our husbands and family!

We are not from this area but we love to try new restaurants and with a high rating! This one showed up in my feed and we decided to try it! What a wonderful experience! The place feels like you are in the beach! The atmosphere and ambiance were superb. Our server, Meg, was outstanding! The food was fresh and delicious! If I could give them a 10 out of 10, I would! Definitely recommend this place! Next time in this area I will definitely return back and ask for Meg! Another update - Visit today 05.25.2025 Everything was perfect! Natalie was our server and she was amazing! Last time we had Key Lime Pie and it was delicious! Today we had Key Lime Cheesecake and it was spectacular! George is the baker and his desserts are all excellent! Keep up the amazing food and service! Will definitely go back every time we are in this area.

We were here from Michigan, and we loved visiting pubs in a neighborhood. This was everything we hoped for. Great location on Peace River, right in a friendly neighborhood. Atmosphere was everything. Great Service, our waitress was MaKayla, she knew her menu, knew her drinks and was so friendly and accommodating. We, of course ordered Gator Bites with Mac and cheese, Coconut shrimp with excellent sauce and lastly, country fresh greens beans cooked with bacon. YUMMY! There was a live band outside with nice seating all around. Mother Nature had other plans, super loud thunderstorms. We just went inside. Desert was out-standing and home made, cheese cake with lime topping and a thick graham crust. SO GOOD. The manager stopped by and talk with us for a bit. She worked as hard as her employees. Very nice and created a great work environment. Gotta make this a stop on your next trip, we certainly will.

Love this place! Been coming here since I was a kid and it’s amazing to see what the new owners have done. Whether you just want a quick drink when coming off the boat, a full sit down dinner, or just want to sit out back and listen to live music. They have everything to keep a family entertained! I went with the blackened grouper and it exceeded my expectations

It is a great place to go with friends. The entertainer was good without being overpowering. The food was excellent.

Very good conch fritters appetizer, followed perfectly prepared huge filet of fish and chips and the catch of the day for myself, the blackened grouper. Grouper was tender juicy and flakey with nice level of complementary flavour from the blackening spices. Nice version of a simple tartar sauce. Unique riverside marina setting with eclectic buildings and furnishings. Will be back, perhaps to enjoy their live music. Only thing is their printed menu...it has no prices so check the online version before or during... And, at one point did get a blast of outboard fumes from a boat revving to get onto its trailer at the adjacent launch ramp..and also from the dick that drove right up to the outdoor dining area in his stupid vintage restored truck letting it run while he talked to his buddy in the cab.
