It's a cool laid back waterfront good food restaurant. My favorite are the scallops & lobster bisque. My son loved his ribeye steak & wild rice. My other son loved his Backwater burger. The couple's food next to us, chicken parmesan looked great too. I've been 5 times & consistently good. Our waitress was super nice too.
