DO NOT be put off by the location or looks of this restaurant. It is tiny and only seats 18 including the counter, but it has the freshest fish and the best prices around. It is family run and they have a lot of pride in their restauarant. We had raw oysters and clams as well as a grilled grouper... More

I am a local and have been going here about 8 months now. I go at least once a month. Great food and its fresh. Get there before 6 or you will be waiting. This is a hole in the wall.

Went here as a family of 4 around 9pm on a Saturday. Was very busy, around 30 min wait time, mainly due to a small amount of tables available. The food however was very good. We had clam chowder, lobster bisque, fried combo platter, and grilled combo platter. The soups were very good, and we liked the grilled platter a... More

We found this little restaurant in Pompano that serves fish and seafood. A neighbor recommended this restaurant and we were very impressed and pleased with the food. It is not a very large place only sits 15 people plus the bar but what a meal we had. I would recommend this place to all my Canadian and american friends.

Don't expect bells an whistles here... Just extremely fresh fish perfectly prepared. It's not uncommon to have to wait for a table during lunch. Worth the visit!

I read the online reviews on this place and it looked great, I called to make reservations and they said they did not take reservations. I asked how long of a wait and they said there was not currently a wait. This was on a Saturday evening around 7PM. We arrived about 15 minutes later and found it extremely difficult... More

Great food, low overhead, clean as a whistle. This is a hidden gem, not much room so we had to wait a little bit on a Saturday. The food was worth every second.

We loved this little hole in the wall joint! The seafood is the freshest, best priced you'll find, simply prepared and delicious. Oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, grilled swordfish and a yummy shrimp and scallop " burger"....all a hit! It really is a dive, but who cares when the food is this good and priced so well.

Had the trout special and fried oysters, delicious! The even serve wine and beer. Love the Unwined Chardonnay, the best! Small hole in the wall and its not cheap but worth spleeging every couple of weeks.

We found this hidden strip mall with google maps, which actually listed it as an icon, so finding it was no problem. You would never just be driving by and find it, it's a block off the main drag hidden in a run-down strip mall. Read reviews on tripadvisor so we just had to check it out. It's about the... More
