    As always, their expertise in making some of the finest food continues to amaze us. This was our 10th time bringing others with us because we get so excited every time we come to Gatlinburg because we know we’re coming here for dinner. Their lobster is outstanding, their creamed spinach Marie is beyond delicious! My husband loves the broiled seafood platter so much that he orders it every single time. Nina was our server and she was phenomenal. I highly recommend asking for her to be your server for the evening. She’s very personable and kind. Keep up the great work! We will be back!

    This is a very popular restaurant in downtown Gatlinburg, but no parking and reservations are necessary! I had Swordfish steak that was cooked beautifully and had fresh onion rings on the side. A great meal, crowded restaurant but great service! Wife had shrimp skewers too much to eat but said they were delicious! Wedge salad also quite tasty!! Wine and alcohol selection to the moon! You will not be sorry you ate here!

    When my food was delivered to the table, the waitress accidentally dumped the plate onto the table. She took it away and cleaned up the table, and my meal was brought back a couple of minutes later. There’s no way they were able to cook a new meal in that timeframe. I had ordered grilled shrimp and it was undercooked. The server failed to notice that I had left all my shrimp uneaten.

    The menu choices were great. We had tuna, swordfish and red snapper entrees. Everything tasted great and fresh. I love how the menu wasn’t a typical fish menu and the dishes were creative and very tasteful.

    Dawson was our server and he was awesome. Excellent service! All of our food was delicious. I have a gluten allergy and the manager came out to answer any questions. I appreciate that. We had raw oysters, crab dip and blackened grouper-all wonderful! You get a view of the river running through town. Great experience!

    Food was absolutely divine and you get a great portion for the price. Better seafood than you can get at the beach.
