Amazing place. Great atmosphere right on the water. We sat there for about an hr watching manatees playing in the canal. Staff were great. You have to try the stone crab.

What a gem. Little off the beaten path restaurant. Super friendly owners. Lola was great! Boat right up. They are attached to a seafood distributor and market so it’s a fresh as it gets! Great music. Fun vibes. Beer, wine and seltzers. Homemade fish dip is different than the rest. OYSTERS! Raw only. It’s next to a cool paddle board/dive shop type place that shouldn’t be missed either. This is a locals place that should get more attention. Weekend lunch only. So don’t go for lunch during weekdays. Love the experience.

Cute little hidden spot off the highway and right on the canal! We only stopped in for a beer, but the vibe was super chill and we watched some parrot fish swimming around while we hung out. We'll stop here on our next Keys trip so we can check out the menu.
