It's temporarily closed until April. We were told by some workers having a meeting. When we're trying to figure out where we enter. RESPONSE BACK to owner. Is this not true, we never been & we were wanting to come check it out & that was what we were told that it's temporarily closed until April.

Busy, but cool outside area with view of the water. Food was decent, but I've only eaten there once. I'd go back.

We ordered peel and shrimp. The bartender, Alex, came back with two orders of shrimp cocktail. $13.50 serving without even asking us if that was ok. Also no TVs on because someone stole their Apple TV? Come on. Sounds like management doesn’t manage well. Finally if you are so worried about the environment on the water stop serving plastic and come up with a renewable reusable option. No vone wants to drink wine from a plastic cup.

Went on a family outing. Food was great the grilled cheese was amazing they had like 3 different cheeses and the fries reminded me of beer battered fries. The tilapia was tasty. My family loved the food tooParking: Parking was pretty easy, plenty of space to park .Kid-friendliness: My little one loved the sand lot !

Decent view of the river but the food was luke warm at best and very over priced for what it was. The shrimp dish said an abundance of shrimp and came with 8 small shrimp and weren’t even hot and were rubbery for $26. The fish was decent but the fish tacos were also not very good. Said a mango sauce on them and it was just sweet Thai chili sauce. Cigarette butts were on the sand floor everywhere. Just wouldn’t go again for the price and what we got!

Fun atmosphere and have been there a few times with some good live bands. Today was just a light lunch shared two apps w/my husband and a few cold beers. Every time the staff has been friendly - sometimes not enough staff, however they make up for it by being attentive and honest if something is going to be a few mins from the kitchen.

I love the atmosphere. So beachy and tropical. Drinks are good. Service at first was iffy but picked up and was good. Food was bad. Got a chicken quesadilla and was soggy and water logged.

Played music here! Great place, friendly crowd and overall good time. Loading in and out is a bit crazy as a performer there though! Especially when the staff gets tired of waiting for you to finish, so they leave and turn all of the lights off, and you get to haul your last trip of band gear out in total darkness...

The set up is really weird. I get that they're going for "on the water" but a little signage would go a long way. My friend and I hadn't been there before and both got turned around finding the parking lot and the restaurant after we were parked. Basically, you just keep walking past everything you think might be a restaurant and end up on a boat.No complaints but also nothing special. My friend and I each got a salad and they were both fine but kind of blah. The chicken on mine was clearly the kind you get frozen in a bag, not freshly cooked and hers barely had any toppings. That said, the lettuce was fresh and nothing tasted bad, so no real complaint. I'd go back if it was to meet a friend, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a great lunch.Parking: Parking is down a hill behind another restaurant but there's no sign directing you. Very confusing if you're not from the area

Love the food and atmosphere! Great Maui sandwiches! I love when they have live band there and in the evenings along the river it's so relaxing! It almost seems like your on vacation! Service is great! Everyone is nice!
