Amazing place! The food was delicious! Gavin our waiter took very good care of us. From appetizer to entree and drinks again was delicious! Definitely will be back
Located by the water. Boats, boats and more boats. I had a hamburger because I was craving red meat. Oh my! I was surprised that it was so delicious. The meat was so flavorful. My friend had shrimp and it looked yummy! Sit outside, beautiful scenery.
Wasn't too sure about this restaurant it was 5 pm on the 4th of July Saturday it wasn't very busy at all. The menu is limited. I wanted to leave but the others in my party wanted to try out. Fish and chip perfectly done jambalaya was full of flavors Ruben was excellent it was on a hoagie roll which was a surprise it was full of meat not overwhelming with sauce or sauerkraut The fish sandwich had a nice thick piece! The price was very reasonable for the nice portions! Clean Little dark inside Cute artwork on the wall it sits right on the river
Some of the best shrimp I ever had were here today at lunch. Great location. Waitress was outstanding. Good drinks. They have music at night.
Excellent food and service. Great dockside dining with beautiful views. U-5 shrimp cocktail were cooked perfectly! And the Belgian Waffle with Ice Cream was a great dessert. Eat out often and demand good food. You're paying for it!
Great happy hour drink and food specials. Happy hour 3pm to 6pm, Monday through Saturday. Although the menu says 2pm, the bartender said they don't open until 3pm on weekdays. Great water view. Friendly service and great food. A good place to watch your favorite sports team.
We just came home from a lovely dinner here. Our understanding is that this place used to be Bootleggers but the menu and the chef have changed. Now they seem to understand that their location requires additional seafood and more of Florida feel. Their happy hour for food is from 3 to 5 and I've included a menu picture for that but mostly it's burgers, wings and those types of bar food. The drinks happy hour goes from 3 to 6 p.m. and the well drinks were generous. I had the shrimp scampi which was loaded with shrimp but a little too much butter sauce for my liking. It had a spicy kick that wasn't over the top & surprisingly, being out on the deck, it stayed hot the entire time we were sitting there. The fresh shrimp was right off the boat from Trico Seafood, next door. My husband opted for the gator tail basket and said it was the best he had ever tried. The fun part was that we were able to meet Eddie the chef and Rob the owner and we were served by Megan who did a terrific job of making sure we were happy with everything. It's a shame that it wasn't crowded but we did enjoy meeting everyone. Don't let the old Bootleggers reputation keep you from trying this updated, refreshed place. There is clearly pride of ownership happening here, so please support their efforts!
Great place to drink and eat on the water. We came for drinks and dessert, we got there close to closing time but they were fine with that. The key lime pie was good but the bread pudding was phenomenal! Gretchen and Ashlee both served us with smiles and fun conversation. Oh, the tiramisu martini and the watermelon margarita were great as well.
