Stopped here for lunch and the food was excellent. Mahi mahi BLT was cooked perfectly. The service was great and the place inside was nice and cozy. They offer outside dining as well overlooking the marsh and inlet. If you go for dinner, expect a wait!

Always love a good boil! I'd recommend asking for some extra seasoning, but other than that, it was delicious. The gator bites were well seasoned, and the ribs are to die for. I'll definitely be back to try the snow crab!

The staff beyond fabulous, the food fantastic . I'd give them 100 out of 100. I will return. For whatever reason, the police in the parking lot, the general manager made everyone feel safe and informed . Do go enjoy a beer or a fabulous bourbon chocolate chip pecan pie....thank you guys for an outstanding dinner . I only wish I could remember our waitress name ,cathy?? She's great.

Excellent‼ Try the Greek Salad, and be sure to try the Sweet Potato fries. Also, do not forget the fried green tomatoes, with pimento cheese. Mmm Good

This café is perfect for a family outing or even bringing along your pets. They’ll be treated to a bowl of water and a cozy spot. The terrace offers a stunning view of the lake, with fresh air, delicious food, and incredibly friendly staff. My husband and I had a wonderful experience. It’s easily one of the best places we’ve discovered recently!

We came in at 3 after leaving Penn Center. Even though we were told that the kitchen was set to close at 3:15, they accommodated our party of 6. The chef(s) did not disappoint! Our food was hot, fresh, and well-seasoned. Our server was hospitable and attentive. The bourbon chocolate pecan pie was also good, but needed more bourbon and more filling.

An amazing experience, a hidden gem indeed. We sat outside and had the best experience. It was quiet, and our server was the absolute best. Our food was DELICIOUS as well. We didn't get the marsh view at night, but the vibe was on point!! Many locals recommended this place to us, and we fell in love with it! Thank you for the great service, frog legs and atmosphere. we will be returning I absolutely loved the snow crab legs.

This place was great from top to bottom! Jasmine was incredible and so pleasant when making the reservation and even remembered us when we came in. We’ve never seen such good customer service. Deena, our server, was awesome!! She made sure to explain anything we were confused about and checked in on us frequently. We cannot wait to come back and cannot recommend this place enough! 5-star experience for sure.
