Excellent food with a incredible view. We sat on the patio. I wish I could remember our waiters name, he was great. I had the shrimp scampi & it was delicious. Do your self a favor and grab a bowl of clam chowder as well. The chowder was amazing.

Exceptionally great service from Leo. He was very friendly, attentive and helpful around the restaurant. Leo was hosting, bartending, serving and cleaning tables. Very impressed by the food. Mahi- mahi was delicious. Fish and chips were tasty. Also, had the kids chicken tenders meal very creative in presentation. Forrest Gump is one my all time favorite movies and to visit restaurant right across from the Beach was a cherry on top. Highly recommend. Great food and service.

Had lunch here on a Tuesday. We sat outside so we could enjoy the wonderful fall weather and look at the ocean. There was construction going on and our entire meal was serenaded by hammers, staple guns, and equipment. I know there is a price for renovation, but you need to keep in mind if the atmosphere you seek is quiet. The food and service however was excellent. Our server, Bill, was great and kept us in drinks and our empty plates cleared. We had the crab and shrimp boil and the bourbon Mahi. Both were perfectly seasoned. We enjoyed our meal, would go back when construction is over, and highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing all around. My husband and I came here while celebrating our anniversary and his birthday. If you love the movie you have to come to this place. Tyler, our server fabulous!! He made awesome recommendations. We tried the Run Across America Trio which was great and the Jambalaya which was some of the best we have ever had. We tried 2 of the cocktails and they were both amazing! We will definitely return when we are in town.
