    A fun local restaurant that offers a more formal side and a dive bar side. Our family of 4 had reservations for the dive bar area and it is not ideal if you are trying to enjoy a meal over conversation. I would recommend eating on the formal side if possible. The food was authentic and presented beautifully. The flavor and taste was good.

    The food was amazing, our waitress was better than perfect! We went with three children 4 and under. The service was fast and the wait staff attention was so sweet. What a great experience! We will recommend and be back.

    It was a great night at King Neptunes for my 40th birthday. The host was great, service was awesome, and the food amazing! The Crab soup was great. The fresh catch my wife got was excellent, and I got the fillet with fried oysters. And the bread pudding was out of bounds!! Super happy about this place!

    The seafood that we had, and saw, was excellent. The salads and non-seafood foods were below par, especially for the price.

    Seven of us dined here to celebrate my husband's birthday. We sat in the pirate room, which was a little on the noisy side. However, the waitress was kind to turn down the volume. We shared the crab dip appetizer, which was delicious. I had the cream of crab soup (cup) which had a hint of sherry. I like that. Not much crab meant in the soup compared to our last visit in February. For the entree, I had the flounder piccata with linguini in a lemon butter sauce, spinach, crab and fried capers. The flounder was a little dry, but overall a good meal. My husband had the grouper special, which he really loved. I like his fish better than mine. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. Prices are a little on the high end. We enjoyed the pirate bar room. Next time, we'll eat in the other room. Great service by our waitress.
