We highly recommend this cozy restaurant. The service is excellent, prices are reasonable, and the food is great. We tried the admiral platter, which included fried flounder, shrimp, scallops, oysters, calamari, crab cakes, and a side. It was absolutely delicious! We shared it and couldn’t get enough. It wasn't greasy at all; the batter was lightly crispy, and everything was tender and fluffy. They have a fully stocked bar and an outdoor seating area, along with daily specials and desserts. There's also live music on the weekends. If you leave here hungry, it’s your own fault!

The stuffed flounder was fantastic, and the black shrimp were cooked to perfection. The staff was attentive and provided excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant!
