Amazing experience, my server was absolutely awesome; brought me out two sweet teas immediately so I had enough drink. I’ve had snow crab legs in Alaska and the ones I got from here totally beat those out. So good all around and highly recommended!

Best seafood offerings in the area!
Made a second visit with four friends. All were very happy with the menu offerings and the delicious seafood. They loved the dining atmosphere and the display of fresh wild caught delicacies of the sea! We all shall return with others to discover the treasures of the sea!
Dorothy is a very excellent waitress!
A third dining experience with friends. The lunch included the delicious seafood chowder, shrimp salad plated with various goodies, the fried oysters, calamari, and the tuna steak sandwich; ate all but the plates!
Waitress Karen gave us excellent service!
Check out the fresh seafood market section!

They have great fresh seafood from the Gulf to Maine & Alaska. The seafood chowder was probably the best I've had. Mussels were great. The steamers were great.
I would have been 5 plus stars but a little skimpy on the portion size of the steamers.

Blackened red snapper sandwich and a cup of Manhattan clam chowder.
Good tasting chowder, not enough clam.
Slightly overcooked bland fish.
Fries were ok.
For the price, don't think I'll be back.

The seafood is really fresh and the staff is very friendly. It’s my sleeper favorite in Sarasota. I def recommend the seafood chowder and New England steamers.

The owner was a very nice man and he shared the story of how he wants to keep Brians legacy going! The food was good and cooked well. The service was excellent! And the place needed updated. But a wonderful good experience! Thanks we will definitely come back for the fresh seafood!

The seafood is delicious! Highly recommend the fried oyster basket. I have been visiting this restaurant since I was a kid and still attend as an adult. The seafood chowder is good as well. I would like more done with the French fries but the seafood is good so I keep going! Wait staff hangs out chatting at the bar which is a bit unprofessional, the place definitely could use an update as far as decor and look. But if you like fried oysters definitely visit!

Easy to find and we were seated quickly! Got the lunch menu here at 3 pm. Seafood chowder, grouper bites and grouper basket ordered. The salad was unique with beets and lotsa fresh veggies.
Capt. Brian sold the place to the employees and occasionally helps to filet the fish, as they are shipped here whole. Delicious.
Next time will try the key lime pie!
Servers were efficient and friendly and attentive. Menu Prices in line with other similar offerings. Drinks were moderately high as a LIIT was $12.
Ambiance is very seaworthy. :-)

First visit. New England clam chowder was awesome. Smaller portions than other places we have been. The fish was extremely fresh and delightful. Husband had platter, all great (shrimp, crab cake, scallops, grouper). I had fish and chips. What I liked the best was batter was not heavy and oily, nice and light on everything.
Guy was singing with guitar...was nice background music, not too loud.
