What a great find!! My wife and I do not stray much from what we know works but we decided to try something new and man are we glad we did!! What a cool little spot. The live music was on point, the atmosphere was great and the food was very very good! Cannot wait to get back there next year!!

What a great place. This is our second time here and this time greeted by a lovely young lady (not the mean guy). We were seated fairly quickly and the place was busy. Server came by and alerted us she’d be right back with us and she was in about 2 to 3 minutes. We ordered our appetizers in our drinks which came out very quickly and we then ordered our dinner.. Dinner was pleasantly surprising as we ordered steak and a Caesar salad to share and very flavorful, and nice size portion. The 2 piece band they had was good, and the crowd seemed to enjoy them. Nice atmosphere, good energy . Glad we gave it another chance. We will be back.

Absolutely incredible restaurant location very efficiently staffed and operated right on the water. Located by a beautiful rain with fishing boats and yachts. Cool place to hang out multiple bars indoor and outdoor seating. Great food. Really cool and worthwhile place to be in North Myrtle Beach.

This is a great place on the water. Found it by accident. It tucked away off of a side street. Parking was ample and easy for a handicapped person to get in. They allow kids to eat at the tables. When we first walked in it looked like an upscale bar well decorated. There was a live band playing so it was a bit loud. We enjoyed our Server Steven. Very personable and attentive. We started with some sodas and water my sister had a margarita. She said it was well balanced. The food came out at the right temperature and very tasty. Overall an enjoyable experience Would definitely recommend go again.
