We spent the morning off shore fishing with Nick of Scallywag Charters. Afterward, we took the fish we caught and had Chef Tommy cook it. He used his discretion and made the best fish tacos we have ever had! We also had a little blackened, grilled and fried. I can not say enough how delicious it all was. I highly recommend Chef Tommy cooking up your catch!

I set up a Army Christmas Party at Dock on the island and it was to host a large group and everything was amazing. Rose, the event manager of the restaurant was very helpful and quick with all responses. The staff accommodated the large group very well and all the staff was very friendly to all. The pizza buffet we had set up was to die for. I highly recommend them for a large party! We will definitely be back!
