Gift Tips

  • Try the grouper dishes, especially the grouper tacos or blackened grouper, for a solid house-style seafood choice.
  • Start with the bacon-wrapped scallops, grouper bites, or Oysters Rockefeller if you want a strong appetizer round.
  • Order the coconut shrimp if you like a sweeter seafood option with dipping sauce on the side.
  • Ask the staff for drink suggestions, since the cocktail list includes favorites like maple-infused old fashioneds and martinis.
  • Save room for key lime pie or caramel cheesecake to finish the meal on a classic Florida note.
  • Ask for a waterside table or an upper-level seat if you want the best bay views during your meal.
  • If you like rich sauces, the seafood pasta and citrus cream sauce are worth considering.
  • If you are dining with kids or a mixed group, the chicken fingers and fish and chips offer easy crowd-pleasing choices.
