Wonderful dining experience for an Easter Luncheon. Food was absolutely delicious! It was nice that they had a special Easter menu but also their regular menu for choices. Dessert portions were humungus..enough for 4 people. Very crowded but well organized with parking and parking attendants working hard to accommodate everyone. Will definitely go back.

I’m here March 30th, probably one of the busiest days of the year and service is excellent! Server Makayla was the best- knowledgeable and attentive! Great house pinto Grigio:)

I'll start by saying that, unless it's a special occasion, we always eat at the bar. We ate here on the 1st night of our 3 night stay and then, again, the last night. The 1st night, we enjoyed the seafood tower and grouper fingers, which were both tasty, fresh, and wonderful.Fir our second visit, we dined on unbelievable raw oysters and the Cajun boil.In my opinion, this is a must try while you're in the area. Enjoy!(Oh, be sure to save room for a piece of ice cream cake!)

We went to Lock n Key and was told 45 min to an hour. We walked to the end of the packed bar and the bartender greeted us immediately. Asked if there were any draft beers especially any local. She described each to me. We ordered 2. Went outside to stand at the bar rail when Collin didn't see I had a drink and asked if I needed anything. We said no, just waiting to be able to get food. He said we could eat right there and then found us chairs! We ordered calamari and ahi Tuna nachos. They were brought out in a short period of time. They were both delicious. We were done eating long before we would have even gotten our table. Made it across the street in time for a de ent sunset in spite of the clouds.

Both the food, and drink we’re exceptional! We had the shrimp in the raw. (Peel and eat) By far the best I have put in my mouth! Followed by grouper tacos. Simply fantastic! Drinks: Rum Runner, Mojito and lastly a Sea Breeze. This was not inexpensive, but I feel money well spent. On a last minute lunch for my wife and IDana completed the experience! Her timing was impeccable! Thank you!Highly recommend stopping here. Parking is a little difficult however.
