The hostess was precious and so welcoming. Our server, Matt, was superb, kind, polite and attentive. The food was delicious and piping hot and fresh. I highly recommend if you are looking for a sit down restaurant.
Food was phenomenal!!! We got the Cajun angels and the crab cakes Benedict. Great service. Little pricey but love that it’s not a chain restaurant.
This place was great. I grew up in New England and am VERY particular about my seafood. We have been here twice on vacation and ordered several items on the menu. We are very ratings driven and frankly based on our experience, do not understand why their ratings are not 5/5. I have to say that we were very impressed. Their crab legs were incredible, they were fresh, sweet and well prepared. (We ordered crab from another highly rated restaurant in the area and we're very disappointed). Their portions were generous. The grouper was very good. It was so fresh and delicious. The grilled shrimp was to die for. It was seasoned perfectly and also very fresh tasting. Their service was fantastic and the wait was minimal. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
During our stay in Navarre, we visited East Bay crab House, and tried the most amazing seafood. The service was great and ambience just met the expectation nothing too fancy but good food. We tried the melted cheese crab dip with nachos and grilled shrimp platter which came with some fries, beans, hush puppies and their in-house sauces which was amazing. We spent around $50-$60 for two people, including drinks. The food was fresh and our waitress was quick to serve the food. Overall, a good place to try some amazing seafood.
First off...yes, it's a little pricey. However, the food was delicious and the service was awesome. Some of the best crab legs I've ever had. My husband's grouper was also good. Plus he said the keylime pie was tasty. We would come back!
Good restaurant with a generous menu. I ordered the stuffed flounder parmesan it was amazing! If you are looking for a great appetizer, order the crab balls. They are on the menu as a side not an appetizer. 2 for $2. Order 5 orders. You'll thank me later. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, constantly refreshing our water and checking on us. I can see why this is a very popular location in Navarre!
