This was a very pleasant experience! The food was delicious and even though it was somewhat understaffed it was probably due to them just being busy. The pricing was reasonable for the location, and the food was very good. I highly recommend the oysters off the shell. You can make a meal out of that! Every meal item in these pictures was delicious. I definitely recommend visiting and making this a stop if you are hungry.

The atmosphere was fine. Not sure about the sunset view however as the hostess sat us behind a wall. Manager JP gets a 1 star. Food was decent, overpriced. The servers were awesome, engaging, friendly and very helpful. Courtney was amazing and made our birthday celebration a win for the night.

Stumbled across this gem while staying close to Panama. Worth the drive! Had a party of 8 people, no wait, seated very quickly and had great service. Drinks were delicious as well as the shrimp tacos! Atmosphere was good, not too loud!

Firstly I did come during an off-season, but I ordered the fish fingers and smoked tuna dip. The tuna dip was great, however the fish fingers were unimpressive, no flavor and a bit rubbery, service was great however and the design of the restaurant is cool.

Came at a busy time and they got us seated right away. The crab dip I recommend trying, the steak was over cooked and didn’t have much flavor. My hubs fish was super good and so was the double baked loaded potato
Super pricey here tho

Great Service. Great Atmosphere and Location. Okay food. I got the angry amberjack and it was okay. Nothing particularly special. It’s a little spicy which I liked. The location and great service made the visit worth it.
The Firecracker shrimp appetizer was good. The sauce it comes with is well balanced and very good.

Easy parking / located at Pier Park mall. Nice location. Right across from pier. Option to sit outside w nice view. Inside seating also very nice establishment. We ordered seafood plates. Loved the seasoning. And the side dip ‘marmalad(?)’. Our server was very nice & attentive. I ordered a drink I wasn’t sure I would like … she stayed at our table until I was ready to sip it to make I was ok with it. I recommend trying!

We came here one evening because our usual spot was closed for the season, and HUGE REGRET. RUN. Do not eat here. As someone who works in the restaurant business, I usually look for an inspection score and look at reviews before even walking in any eatery. Being that we were tired and hungry from our 8 – hour drive, I was in no shape to pay attention to details. My mistake…and a huge one.
I could’ve saved myself and my friend from 48 hours of pure misery. First of all, there was no one in the restaurant beside the five of us and the staff. This was about an hour and a half before their posted closing time on a weeknight (Thursday). We were famished, and it seemed nothing else was still open on the pier except clubs or bars full of teens. The girl at the front told us to sit wherever, and we asked if it wojld be ok if we sat on the patio to see the beach. She huffed and said she didn’t know if patio seats were available (despite it being almost empty). The server was just as rude and acted like we were an inconvenience to her, even though they were not closing for another hour. We ate and went on our way, but not even two hours later, one of my friends and I started to have severe stomach cramps. We thought we were going to have to go to the ER they were so bad. We both had cold sweats, rapid HR, vomiting, dia***** etc. for hours into the next day and evening.
We connected the dots, and she and I were the only ones in our group to order the tuna dip and share it. It had looked a bit “off” when it was brought to the table, but as I said, we were too tired and hungry to pay attention. We didnt even finish it because it tasted too salty to me and she said it tasted too “fishy”. Thank God we didn’t eat it all, because we WOULD have ended up in the ER. I had never experienced food poisoning this bad before. Run from this place unless you want to ruin your vacation.
