I wouldn't say I'm a regular but I have been here many times and have always loved the food. Tonight I ordered the grilled shrimp sensation salad on the Waitr app. It was terrible. The absolute worst I've ever had. I'm extremely disappointed.

We had a group of 12 on a Thursday night. Service was great. The kitchen was happy to modify the nightly special to be gluten-free for a member of our group with celiac. Being from the Fla panhandle, we are fish snobs and we all agreed the seafood was among the best we've ever had.

The live music with Kevin Schexnaydre makes for a great experience! Great food, very reasonable prices and a fun atmosphere too!

The wait staff never has been much to brag about at this restaurant. Very hit or miss with the service. We went last night, both ordered the special. It took 45 minutes to arrive and it was cold. The food has always been mediocre at best but 45 minutes for cold, overpriced food? Uh... no. It almost seems like their heart is not really into serving food but more about the bar and the bands.
