Such a lovely experience sitting by the water! Ray was an amazing waiter too. I came by myself and it was exactly what I wanted- good food, pretty views, and a low key vibe.

We came for the boat viewing and they had great Sunday drink specials and good food! We even saw a boat we were going to buy a few years ago pass by. Relaxing environment and great reminder of why we live here! Been here for several private events as well in the Maxwell room in the back.

Review from a non local! Riverside seating and views made our meal delicious and fun. Ordered the mahi fish tacos with Spanish fried rice, sirloin steak tacos, shrimp cocktail appetizer, and Lauderdale Brewery Coconut Porter. Everything was delicious! Hot and fresh. Absolutely delectable. The coconut porter was very interesting; tasted like a Guinness with coconut. Service was wonderful and very attentive. Our server was excellent and was very knowledgeable of the menus. Family friendly restaurant. I really loved the water views. Everything was nice already but the waterside seats made it just more fun. Highly recommend!

Gathered her for dinner and to celebrate my niece’s White Coat ceremony a couple of hours before dusk. Seating is available inside, outside, and outside across the street along the river. Dined along the water, there were a few annoying flies and we fanned a lot. I ordered the fried meatballs and conch fritters, they both were tasty. Wanted to know about parking and when so phoned ahead, no one answered the phone. Paid $3 for an hour of public parking, my brother then said there was lots of free parking behind the restaurant. Lots of motor boats quietly sailed by and the condos, other buildings, and activities across the river made for a nice view. This place is a nice place to gather after work for a cold one.

How can I make reservations or can I just walk up without for dinner on a Sunday?

Hi, We take reservations for parties of 6 or more only. Also depending on your preference for seating, such as "only on the seawall" or "outside only" there may be a longer wait when you arrive. This seating is on an extremely high demand and we can not hold out tables for long periods of time before you arrive. However we will place you on the wait list 30-45mins before you arrive and better insert you into the wait.
