Great view of the Amelia River. Casual, relaxed atmosphere. Happy hour and Live Music most afternoons. Dine inside or outside. The menu mostly consists of seafood but has a little something for everyone, including the kids. Food is tasty and drinks are strong. Children will enjoy the playground and it is pet friendly. Arrive early for Happy Hour as it can get very busy. Don’t order take-out! Everything gets wet and soggy…YUK
