The food is amazing. Overall would recommend. Definitely coming back soon.Fish Tacos:We got both fish tacos (Ragin' and Hawaiian) which are extremely worth it. There were three tacos but we both ate two before even remembering to take pictures. The fish in the tacos were tender, well seasoned, and ample. It wasn't just like tuna salad but chunks of fresh fish. The fries were pretty good too.For my Hawaiian taco, the pineapple salsa was well balanced with other things. Also I was afraid the tiger sauce was going to be too sweet or too hot. However, the sauce was lightly sweet to compliment the pineapple sweet and had a little light kick. It was very good.Oysters:My oysters were from James River. They have a slight salty taste that I love from the east coast but are sweet and mild with rounded delicate flavors. It's a great choice overall for most. This was eaten too fast to get pictures of.The experience:Staff was attentive and positive; very good at describing menu items as well. The facilities were very clean. I loved the nautical decor.

Great tasting food and comfortable atmosphere.

Wow this place is great! Phenomenal service, great drinks, great casual atmosphere. The mussels were amazing to start. Crab(no)cakes and the salmon were fantastic as well. We have been meaning to try this place since we moved to Frederick...wish we hadn't waited so long!

It was the best food I've ever had at a restaurant. It felt like someone was cooking in their home kitchen...with love. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely come back. I hope y'all will bring back brunch someday. The pancake pictures look so delicious!

Amazing late lunch! Appetizers were tasty and quick, but the main courses stole the show! Highly recommend the wicked pasta, stuffed shrimp, herbed chicken, and scallops. Perfect visit today for Father’s Day

Enjoy the meal, service was great, thank you Faith. Over an hour drive from my house but worth that

We just finished an impromptu lunch after doing some antiquing and I couldn't have been more impressed with this place! As a Florida native good seafood is hard to find; this place impressed from start to finish and the staff was SO friendly! Robin took incredible care of us. Will definitely be returning

Kind of dive-y place but with great food. Genuine Maryland crab cakes. I had the battered, fried shrimp and will definitely order it again. Beers are mostly blue-collar domestic but they did have a couple of craft ones.

This place was great! I felt like I needed to write a review since the outside of the restaurant doesn't do it justice. The servers were great, the food was fabulous, we didn't wait long for the food to come out, and it was very reasonably priced. My husband got the crab cake and I got the fish tacos. Absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back here again and will recommend this restaurant to our friends who like seafood.

excellent seafood, just like eating ocean side. spinach divine, crabcakes amazing
