    Waterside dining was so nice to see the boats go by. The food and service was excellent. We dined on Memorial Day at 5:30 and the restaurant was moderately quiet at that time. Very enjoyable!

    We had a lovely lunch with a lovely view. My chicken salad sandwich was excellent and my dining companion had the Grouper sandwich which she enjoyed very much. Do not hesitate to choose the Crow's Nest!

    The good: fresh seafood, excellent service, nice atmosphere, very nice coconut martini. The bad: everything except the Cole slaw was way too salty. Taste wise nothing hit the mark. Nothing remarkable.
