Food scene
Great southern food with southern hospitality. Located right on the Intercoastal Waterway. The crab cakes are spectacular and the key line tart is the bomb! You can toss bits of bread into the waterway and the catfish will swarm.

Great for brunch. if you go on a Sunday expect a wait. If you order a bottle of Champagne for mimosas the owner will serenade you. The live piano adds to the ambiance.
