A nice sit down restaurant with a view. Food was very reasonable, service was fast and the food was good. This place has the total package and they are not over the top expensive like some of the "by the water" establishments.

Great location and a very friendly staff. The food was good, location was great. The drinks were excellent and maybe the best price on the island. Plenty of parking at the mall.

We stopped here on a Thursday evening and really enjoyed the appetizers and band. They were quite busy, but staff did a good job of trying to keep everyone satisfied.

The first things I order are the Five Pepper Dip and a Cussin' Sailor drink!!! Check out the drink menu...The names... More

We dined here as we waited for our excursion (sailing on the Fury). Right on water next to marina. Eight of us - 4 adults and 4 teenaged girls - ate typical American lunch of pizza and burgers. All better than average. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather and marina while we waited. Pricey, but the location and view made... More

You can sit by the water and feed the fish while gawking at the amazing boats docked there. Food was ok, nothing stellar but nothing wrong with it either. seemed considerably mmore expensive thaan most places but I am sure that is due to the cost of the location.
