We visited the restaurant and were absolutely delighted! 🍽✨The atmosphere was cozy, the service was attentive, and the dishes were simply outstanding.For me, it was a special evening because I tried black pasta for the first time — and it was just wow! 😍 Tender, full of rich flavor, and perfectly cooked — every bite was worth savoring.I’ll definitely be back to try something new from the menu! ❤️

Beautiful scenery. Customer service was excellent. Service was quick, everyone was helpful. Food wasn't great but not to bad either. I expected more from the food, but it was below my expectations. They had a crowd of people which means people must enjoy their food, but personally im not a fan due to some of the foods being so bland. Bathrooms were not flushing well.

The lobster ravioli in their pink sauce.....to die for!! Okay, maybe not dying over it but you get the concept.Ridiculously delicious. The ravioli is made with real lobster meat! Yes, my mouth dropped too! Lol unbelievable.Ugh, it was so good. 20 out of 10.Wished it came with a side of pasta or potatoes but regardless it was heavenly and you need to try it.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been craving Maryland blue crab—and that’s when I discovered this little gem right here in Brooklyn!I ordered the Maryland blue crab with garlic butter and Old Bay seasoning—it was delicious. The beautiful outdoor seating right by the water made it even better.Lauren, my waitress, was super friendly, and Brendon was great too.Overall, I’d highly recommend this spot to any seafood lover looking for authentic, laid-back, waterfront dining in Sheepshead Bay. I’ll definitely be back

We got the fried flounder which was good, good homemade tartar sauce. Calamari was fresh. Marinara good, but we liked sweet chili sauce better, just not a fan of the fries, too skinny. It's right by a marina which was nice. Food came out very hot and the server was attentive.
