The service was good. The people greeted you well and the wait staff was attentive. The cheese seafood dip tasted good. The stuffed catfish was very tasting. The flavors were delicious. The stuffed red snapper was a bit dry.

The oysters are so YUM. The fish & chips plate was HUGE & the stuffed jalepenos were amazing. We mostly got a variety of each oyster dish! 😋

The food is really disappointing. This restaurant is on the water and should be serving fresh fish and seafood but everything is so obviously not fresh. I expected more for sure! Service was awesome.
