    The service was spotty at best. My girlfriend's steak was overcooked, and the oysters I ordered were no bigger than a nickel for 22 dollars a half dozen. I don't mind paying 170.00 for a nice dinner for 2, but I have had better meals at more casual style restaurants.

    Food was good. Menu is limited. We ordered Oyster's on the half shell... they were so SMALL and for what we paid... it was pretty bad. Couldn't really enjoy them because there was so little to taste. Service was great and the view was excellent. But I don't think I would ever go back.

    The lamb meatballs and fish special were amazing, but the burger came out well done instead of medium. Drinks were slow to come out of the bar, and they weren’t very busy. The bourbon chocolate cake is a must!! Fair place, but priced high because of water location.

    Beautiful view sitting outdoors overlooking the Caloosahatchee River. We enjoyed a nice breeze and a gorgeous sunset. The menu is very limited; only siz entrees to choose from. No bread service. The entrees were tasty but the hot food was served cold. No one enjoys cold fish which was the special. The chicken entree was a better choice. It was flavorful and hot.

    From the first encounter with the Hostess to paying our bill, the experience was wonderful. We sat outside and enjoyed the amazing view. Our lunch sandwiches were delicious. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. The craft cocktails were exquisite.

    We were very disappointed. Extremely limited menu, and no steak available on the evening we were there. The noise level was astronomical. We had to practically yell to hear one another. We were also sat at a four top table with a chair stuck on the end in a very high traffic area, and the person on the end kept getting bumped. Overall, we had a very bad experience, and we had hoped for so much more.

    The view is the best but the menu is very limited and not much to choose from , my group likes more of a variety and there were 2 people in our group that needed Gluten free options and you didn’t have much especially if they don’t like fish as well. My question is why not keep some Gluten free rolls in the freezer to toast when your guests request a nice GF burger or handheld sandwich. Or even GF pasta is easy enough to make. We may consider coming back in the future if the menu chances a bit. Thanks again.

    Service was great, atmosphere is why we picked it- it looks out over the water and there’s indoor and outdoor seating options. The food was really good. There’s no excuse for a regular biscuit to taste that good. I took my mom for brunch for early Mother’s Day and she loved everything so much that she wants to go back for her birthday in July and she rarely makes requests to go specific places.

    A pretty venue with views of the Caloosahatchee River and bridges over it. Sunset here is gorgeous! The menu is small but interesting and the food was well cooked and presented. It tasted as good as it looked. Our waiter was really nice but not very skilled, maybe new to the job. We waited a VERY long time for our drinks. Food is brought out by runners, so that wasn't too slow, although 3 meals came out and the 4th lagged a bit. I'd still go back because it's a nice location with good food. Servers are hard to come by these days so they get a pass on that.

    We were a party of 5. 2 of us ordered the short ribs, they were over cooked and fatty, waitress barely let you finish a sentence before walking away, did not checking after food was served and when we finally found her, it took her 15 minutes to bring us the check. No plans on returning.

    The atmosphere outside was wonderful! Perfect weather and view. Food was “ok” not terrible but not special. Service was fine. Not outstanding and not a lot of attention but our food and drinks came out ok. Definitely there for the views, not the service or value
