Had blackened red snapper with Caesar salad, broccoli and jalapeño corn. Best meal our whole trip -- NOLA to Englewood to home, TN. The corn was good, but a different vegetable would have been a better finish, something not quite as heavy.

First time trying this place and we were very impressed. We ate at 1:30 on a Friday and the restaurant was hopping. Service was on point, food was excellent, and drinks were solid. Location is superb located right next to the beach (5-10min walk) and also within walking distance of a playground for the kids. Great experience overall!

Super busy. Nice people that work there. They have contests at the bar to win drinks which is neat. Good food.

I have no photos to share for here, but I do have a hoodie. Thank you. Best Oysters I have ever had, and 1 drink (perfectly made). Thank you for accommodating Gini, my copper Italian/Whippet mix, she's gone missing since then. She's somewhere in Sarasota. Fantastic staff, owner, and cook too. I was well cared for here.

Hands down the best fettuccini alfredo I have ever eaten. The service was excellent, the prices were very good, and it's nice to be able to walk on the beach both before and after your meal.

I’ve eaten here at least 100 time throughout my life and it is my favorite place to go when I visit my Grandma. Always good food, always a good atmosphere, and always something you wake up tomorrow thinking “when should I go back”. 😁

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday. I knew when we pulled up that the food was going to be good- people were waiting outside in torrential rain to get in. Was not disappointed- the swordfish melts in your mouth, the filet was perfectly cooked, even the salads were fresh and delicious. Our waitress was wonderful, I'm awful with names but the receipt says Danah so let's go with that- she offered suggestions and opinions, was very attentive and so personable. 10/10 will make the 2 hour drive to come back again!
