Overall food wasnt bad, just very over-priced for what you get, baked stuffed lobster filling was very dry. 2 apps, 4 drinks, 2 main courses & 1 desert will cost you $250 with tip. Won't be going back anytime soon.

This place is right on the water. The experience of sitting on an open deck right on the water eating fresh lobster is a wonderful feeling. Everything we had there was excellent. My suggestion though, is to get here early in the day because by 6:00 or 7:00 at night this place is packed.

The atmosphere and service was excellent. Great view sitting outside with nice weather. The claim chowder was not to thick and had a nice peppery taste with a good amount of clams. The beer battered fish and chips had a light batter and thick fish inside. The clams Casino were tasty and filling. I had the Asian glazed Sea Bass and it was amazing. The Death by Chocolate cake was definitely to die for ( comes from Gregg's ) and was big enough piece to satisfy 4 people. Definitely going back.

Pricey. Waitress had no personality. Didn't offer any specials. No warm greeting nor offer any substitutes. Food was tasty but small in quantity.if you order tacos limited in choice $16.00 for 2 & no fries. Bread came out after appetizers for those who ordered with meals. Because of the service I wont go back.

Just a wonderful place with great views, great food and terrific service. Clam Chowder was one of best ever!! I will definitely return and next time going for that huge lobster. Oh and 16.00 for 15yo Mccallen is a great price.

Really fun time. Food was good. Stuff lobster was huge and expensive. Tasty but a little heavy with the breading and personally, I think they had add scallops to their breading.
Drinks were great and service was friendly. We were a large group and a bit louder, they did a great job.

The roasted beet salad was amazing... my favorite of the night. A must try.
Everything else was very good - dirty martinis, fried calamari, seafood paella, heath bar chocolate cake (from Greggs Restaurant), decaf coffee. High top table with ocean view was lovely. Efficient and friendly service. The manager and staff stopped by often to check on us. Thank you all for an enjoyable 39th anniversary dinner! ❤

Great location right on the water. We were able to watch boats go by as we drank and ate. Got ahi tuna tacos and oysters for the appetizers. The oysters were medium sized and had no shells in them, the ahi tuna didn't really impress me but it wasn't bad, I just think it wasn't my thing. For the main course we got lobster Mac and cheese and steak with potatoes and green beans. The lobster Mac/cheese was creamy and well cooked with large pieces of lobster mixed throughout the plate. The steak was well seasoned but overcooked but the potatoes were great! They had some sort of crust on them that was

The food was expensive and it was very bland and very minimal prawns in my dish. I got a prawn risotto and the rice was half cooked and did not see one decent prawn on the dish... it was very disappointing and won’t be going back there!
