We have been back twice in a week! We loved the blackened chicken tacos and their wings! Cannot wait to go back! Ordered crispy wings naked with their hot and money sauces! Both homemade wing sauces were great. Service and location were outstanding!

I went here last night with my family. The food was great as always. We started with the smoked fish dip. It was very good and came out fast which was good since we were starving. For my dinner, I had the grilled grouper sandwich. I usually like my fish blackened but I elected for grilled since they have footnote on the menu explaining that their blackening seasonings is very salty. My girlfriend had the grouper sandwich as well, fried. She said it was excellent and it looked like it. My son had the kids cheeseburger with fries and my mom had 10 wings. If I was just reviewing the food, I would be happy to give it 4 or 5 stars. Our service was terrible. It started when the fish dip came out. My girlfriend asked for hot sauce. We didn't get that until we were about done with the fish dip. Then we ordered our food. We didn't get a refill on drinks or ask how we were doing until we were over half way done with our meals. The person that brought our food out (not our server) even told us she would get us more water and that never happened either. My mom was eating wings with one napkin. We tried to flag down our server to no avail. At the end of the meal we waited about 20 mins for a small box and the check. She came back with drinks for another table and tried to serve them to us. I said no we need a box and the check so she gave us the check and had to go get the box. For these reasons, I am giving them 2 stars.

We love the place! My family and I have been going here for years. It's close to the house, friendly staff, killer view, and a value in my opinion. I typically get the wings (be careful their HOT is HOT) with seasoned fries. Lately I have been getting the grilled fish sandwich or fish tacos and I have been equally happy. It's a quaint little place on the water at Harbor Town marina. The view is great with plenty of wildlife since it sits seconds from the Barge Canal. Please don't don't misunderstand...it's a nice, clean bar with good food. Not a fine dining experience. It's got a salty crowd of water lovers as patrons and a great place for local flavor. As well there are some tour boats that offer fishing, wildlife tours and paddleboarding right out the back porch for tourist or locals looking for something to do. Look up All Water Adventures for times and schedules. We bring friends and family to Nautical Spirits often, set your expectations to a laid back atmosphere as if you were in the Florida Keys or the Bahamas.

my father in law used to have a sailboat here, thank goodness, otherwise we never would have known about this place. great little place for lunch, I've had the fried grouper sandwich-delish!-the grilled grouper tacos-delish!-and the wings-just ok. I say stick with fish and a cold beer, and you can't go wrong. they have GREAT screened in patio, which comes in very handy during love bug or mosquito season, so that pretty much covers most of the year.

The setting for this restaurant is amazing!!! Its right on the river going to the ocean, it has a marina with boats anywhere from $200,000 and up, but the food and atmosphere are a very, very basic bar setting. Fried food, and average drinks. My wife ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and asked to substitute a side salad for the chips and pickle. Waitress number 1 said no, they won't do the salad but the will do a slaw or veggies. I suggested the veggies and she was ok with that. We both ordered our standard at any restaurant, a margarita on the rocks and no salt. Waitress number 1 came back with or drinks and I took one sip and the glass was half full after that. I looked at it and noticed that there was an over abundance of ice in it. More ice than drink. Our food came out and we ate with no other issues. Waitress number 2 came over and asked if we were ok and did we want another drink. My wife said yes and asked if I wanted another, I said yes but can they put less ice in the next one. She said no problem and left. Thats when my wife said, ok now they'll be spitting in our drinks. I said I was just telling her how I felt with that drink. If I am paying good money I expect more drink and less ice. The second drinks came out with waitress number 3 and the ice to drink ratio was at a normal level. I was pleased. We finished up our food and waitress number 3 came and asked if we needed anything else. I said no just our bill. She returned with it and we paid and left. Some concerns. Mainly, why did we have 3 waitresses? Never understood that. Why were the drinks so iced down? Did the alcohol come out of the bartenders pocket? And why can they NOT substitute a side salad for the pickle and chips but can substitute slaw instead? This is the second time we have been there. Like I said, very nice location at a marina, one would expect a lot more than a basic bar restaurant. If you go here, expect very basic food at reasonable prices.

My brother in law and I recently discovered this hidden rustic pub/sports bar. We call it the tree house because it is 2 minutes from our subdivision and on our way home from work. Haven't eaten dinner yet but the 1.25 drafts are good.

Discovered this place after a trip with All Water Adventures. Great view and atmosphere and casual enough to come off the boat and feel comfortable. We had great burgers and fries. I have been back about three times since and it is consistently good and relaxing. It is simple and just right.

I used to have a boat here for many years. One of the best things about having a boat in the marina was going to lunch... great food. I can't think of a burger, wrap or sandwich I had here that i didn't like. Normally I would give this a "three" star for just being good, but I've had many visiting friends who have LOVED their food, and I really do love the chicken philly...so given the fact that it's a marina restaurant....it gets bumped up a notch. This IS NOT a fancy place. But, if you're a boater and you'll pulling in, it's four star.

Terrible, service and food. They only care about getting out on time. The food delivered was adequate the service was fine until. The manager realized there was an $8 mistake on the bill. She was matter fact, rude and abrupt for an error they had made. When she knew she upset me and my guests she did nothing to empathize or rectify.

Their Friday night fish fry is worth checking out. $10 for 2 huge pieces of fried fish, a side, and coleslaw. The fish is really delicious. Also, we like their fried shrimp po boy. And they have really cheap drafts during certain times of the day (not entirely sure when). Bottom line: it's a good place to have some beers and eat some tasty fried seafood in a very casual atmosphere. We like to sit on the back porch when it's not blazing hot.

This place has never had a good reputation for food, and a recent experience confirmed that is still the case. We ordered a mahi caesar wrap, and the mahi fish tacos. Normally, I would have ordered both meals with blackened fish and not thought twice about it, but then I noticed a disclaimer at the bottom of the menu. And I quote, "Our blackening seasoning is very salty and spicy. Even lightly blackened may be salty and spicy also. Please consider when ordering. We do not re-cook or refund because of the seasoning." Are you kidding me? I have eaten blackened fish all over the place and never seen anything so preposterous in my life. Yes, blackening season has spice in it, and some salt too, but there is something seriously wrong with their interpretation of it if they have to put a warning on the menu. Immediately, that disclaimer put me on the defensive. We ordered mahi, but what arrived at the table was some kind of chopped up white fish. My gut tells me it was tilapia, but it's also possible it was old, frozen and beat-to-hell fragments of grouper since I didn't' see tilapia on the menu. Either way, it was disgusting fish. I ordered the wrap "lightly" blackened and it was the saltiest, nastiest interpretation of blackening I've ever had. The grilled fish tacos were just mutilated pieces of white fish with no seasoning or grill flavor. The tacos consisted of 2 cold flour tortillas, crappy fish, iceberg, tomato, low quality cheese and a side of sour cream and pace salsa. All of the ingredients were the lowest possible quality and prepped just as poorly. I've seen cafeterias that serve hundreds of people put more thought into their food. Oh, the sour cream and Pace salsa cost extra. Unbelievable! I can't be bothered to spend another dime in this place if they can't be bothered to put together an edible meal. The food is just plain insulting. This place has a nice waterfront location with dockage, so it's a crying shame the food is this bad. I'd rather eat a soggy sandwich that got lost in a boat cooler than come here.
