✨ We hope you all had a beautiful Christmas. Now let’s gear up for the New Year and go out with a bang. 🎉

We’re open every day at 11am, serving up island vibes, cold drinks, and the kind of food you think about long after the last bite.

🔥 Pictured here… our Cortez Stone Crab Rangoon
Golden, crispy, and packed with flavor, served with a tangy Thai chili sauce that hits just right. Crunchy, creamy, sweet, and a little addictive. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 😍

🎶 Live Music Lineup:
• Tonight: Justin Layman
• Saturday Lunch: Tim Chandler
• Saturday Dinner: The Stockton Brothers
• Sunday (all day): Tim Chandler

Reservations and walk-ins are always welcome. Only about half of our tables are available for reservations, so if you don’t see an opening, come on in. The wait is usually short and the reward is worth it.

Come hungry. Stay awhile. We’d love to see you. 🍹🌴

Read what our
customers
have to say
“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
