We had reservations for 7, we were sat outside quickly….not the restaurants fault but we were in the drizzling rain.-I would have thought that a reservation would have been inside or at least get the option! Waitress asked several times if we wanted to move inside as it appeared to us there was a storm coming, we told her yes every time. Finally moved, the area we were moved to felt completely different. The seats were nicer and more comfortable. When making the reservation we were not asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside. The outside we were put in looked like a completely different restaurant, even spelt bad-the second area was so much better!!!Online menu on their website was completely different from the menu at the restaurant. We went expecting one thing and then couldn’t get those ideas.Lipstick was on one of our glasses, waitress quickly fixed it.One of our daughters asked if the kids shrimp was popcorn shrimp, she was told yes-it was much larger so we wasted $15 for that. Husband and I decided to split shrimp and grits-for $32 we figured it would be enough to share-wrong again.Shrimp and grits were very spicy, but it was good. Fish and chips was very good. Although our water and tea cups stayed empty, we had to ask for refills several times.Would not recommend and wouldn’t eat there again.

Would recommend for happy hour only. Nice place with great views over the water but not amazing in general. After looking at menu from the tuna shak down below the restaurant- we should have eaten there!We had a reservation and waited 20 minutes past that time(with no communication) even though they seemed to be adequately staffed and had plenty of tables open.SUPER EXPENSIVE. Small rolls at $20+each. $16 calamari that was just crunchy bits- no meat. Cocktails are SO sweet and cheap tasting.

Been here the past few years but this year was quite a disappointment. While the food wasn't necessarily bad, although the Manhattan was absolutely terrible, it just wasn't worth with the prices charged, including the $10 miniature deserts. Not to mention that a Service Fee is now added to the bill, on top of all the taxes and the confusing parking signup situation. So while I don't mind spending over$250 for dinner for three, not for this level of service and food. Won't be returning for a while. Just too many better options.

Reservations at 6:30 on a Sat. Absolutely charming and full of flavorful fresh food! Tasty to say the least. We 4 sat outside. Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu and specials offered. Portions were perfect. The sky painted a beautiful backdrop to our amazing dinner. A photographer offered us a free postcard picture of our group of 4 with options to purchase more at a reasonable charge. Thanks for our wonderful dinner. We will be back.

This was hands down the best meal that we had during our trip. Outdoor seating that overlooked the inlet. The Chef Special was a Hog Snapper topped with scallop/shrimp/crab with creamy cauliflower puree and seasonal veggies. For desert we had the Creme Brulee. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend.

We ordered from the truck on July 3rd. The lady cooking was working hard in the truck. They lost 1 of our meals as we paid for it but it didn't show up on their order in the truck. The tables outside were not cleaned by the employees so my husband found a rag and cleaned the table. The bartender was clearly not happy that I asked for a water at the bar instead of an adult beverage. Overall our food orders were good (shrimp basket, chicken sandwich, pulled pork and crab cakes) but there was a lack of details and follow through for sure.

Our waitress Emily was fantastic ! Very accommodating and super nice. Great atmosphere and the food was fantastic.

Family of 6, had a reservation, waited an hour for our food. Waiter made several excuses, forgot one dinner, never delivered sides after being reminded. Catch of the day sandwich was one narrow 5 inch filet on a huge roll. On the Grilled seafood platter, which was forgotten, the grouper was very overcooked. The server was inattentive and forgot things, but our party of 6 had a 20% gratuity automatically added so his poor service was guaranteed a nice tip regardless. It's s a beautiful location, but it seems they rely on the view and tourists who wi not be returning. We certainly won't.

Visited here one evening last week just before closing. Our server was pretty nice until I told her I didn’t like my cocktail and requested wine instead. She had a small attitude but then was friendly again after she brought my wine back. They had 2 fish specials and I was unsure which to choose and asked what she recommended. Went with her selection and it was quite tasty- grouper topped with crab, shrimp, and veggies with a cream cheese sauce, and puréed cauliflower. I ate it all! My boyfriend went with the burger topped with a crab cake. He said it was really good.

After a fishing boat trip out of Crazy Sister’s Marina, we stopped at Wicked Tuna for lunch. Our server was wonderful, and the drinks and food came quickly for a large table. Most had the grilled Grouper sandwich and fries or the Fried Shrimp PO Boy sandwich and fries. The shrimps were plentiful but for $19 there wasn’t enough Grouper to cover the bun. The outdoor seating was lovely.
