The food and drinks are both very very good and are very reasonably priced. They have their own list of unique "tropical" drinks and live music regularly. The service is incredible. We've eaten there several times and never had a bad experience. We just had a big party of 30 here and everything was excellent. Jade, our waitress and the rest of the staff that helped her were wonderful. They really bent over backwards to accommodate us, and give us what we wanted to make it a great event. I would highly recommend trying it out for either casual drinks, dining or your own events.

Awesome atmosphere! Good food and drink specials too. Definitely going back again!

The food is on point. Salmon was some of the best I've had. We loved the crab & shrimp egg rolls. Atmosphere is so vibin' with sand beneath your feet, sitting on a picnic bench. The band was rough like listening to a karaoke set but it felt like the beach. Highly recommend this place!

The place is fun!The food was good:Crab CakesBacon Wrapped ScallopsService was great! Our waitress was so bubbly and fun. Came by to check on us often.

Me & my bestie are currently enjoying the beautiful atmosphere & delicious food & drinks here! Tim is our awesome bartender,he makes thee best crushes!!! My gf is planning a 30th Birthday for her daughter ( my niece) here in June & we have to give major props to ASHLEY who has worked so hard to make this event perfect! She has been so helpful with the planning, the menu, the details! Thank you Crazy Tuna crew!!!!

It was great, the food tasted like it was worth more than gold! Me and my family loved it. My dad said that he felt like he was in heaven and my mom agreed. My little sister who is 3 years younger than me said it was yummy and I was loving it! From Dahlia, a 4th grader.

Understaffed.Disappointed of the service.We waited about 20 min for water, over 1 hour for food.Had to go inside and look for someone to get my check. We were charged for food that didn't get to the table. Followed up with our waitress who said if we did pay for it, it would come out of her pay.I understand the limitations of staffing, but not once someone approach is to say the food was the coming, or offering water refills.I stopped counting after 4 parties, who arrived after my family, were served, are their food and left.Unacceptable. Staff is working hard. And management doesn't seem to care.Never coming back.

Absolutely AMAZING!!! This restaurant is a MUST try for anyone visiting the area or for locals. Our waitress was very accommodating and friendly even recommended one of the best cocktails I have ever had! The location on the waterfront was definitely a delightful atmosphere which made the dining experience that much more enjoyable! The food was delicious as well served quickly and correctly with a menu that even offered options if you choose to bring a furry friend!!! Overall this establishment is beyond five stars and if we were local this would definitely be our number one to go to restaurant. Thank you for making our dining experience so great!!!!

Okay so I decided to take my boys on a date and this restaurant was 4 mins away from. G home. One kid ordered Seafood Portofino which comes with Mussels, Shrimp & Scallops my kids isn’t fond of scallops so he got extra shrimp. I love pasta & have had several dishes but this one was missing more flavor with the add of Parmesan cheese it did give it a little more flavor.The other kids order a burger medium well. It’s kinda hard to go wrong with a burger but he’s very picky & enjoyed it.I ordered the blackened tuna tacos and I was very excited to try them but greatly disappointed. I order my tuna medium but it wasn’t packed with flavor nor did it have any type of sauce which made it hard to swallow without your mouth being dry. The fries where really good so that the only thing that made the dish a dish.I ordered one of the crushes but I might as well stuck to soda.I give it 3 stars because both boys enjoyed their dish. The setting at the water is beautiful and the waiters were really nice and welcoming.

The atmosphere was nice. The crab and shrimp egg roll was amazing.The burger on the another hand was horrible it tasted like lighter fluid.
