Seafood lovers will delight in signature mains like the Triple Tail Blackened — perfectly seasoned and seared to create a smoky crust that locks in juicy tenderness — and the mesquite-grilled grouper, available either as a sandwich or a plated dish with sides. The fried grouper basket and fried shrimp basket with fries offer crispy, golden textures complemented by tangy house marinara and the unforgettable Flamingo Garlic Bread. Non-seafood options such as the blackened chicken sandwich, topped with just the right kick of buffalo sauce, and the fried pork tenderloin sandwich show the kitchen’s versatility and attention to bold, satisfying flavors.

The atmosphere here strikes an ideal balance: relaxed yet attentive. Guests arriving by boat are quickly greeted and guided to their tables or booths, often enjoying fresh sea breezes and views of the marina from the dockside patio.
