Our Guestbook
“ We give it a 4.9 on our scale and my daughter is tough on food and service. Have a simple menu isn't a bad thing when you have good food so this was a fantastic experience. Drink in just a few minutes and food order was at the same time drinks was delivered. Food was on the table in less than 10 minutes and was spot on. We will be back over this vacation. Price was also in line. ”
“ We had a party of 7 and couldn't find a spot for dinner without over an hour wait unless we found The Steamer! Our waitress was able to remember all of our individual orders without writing them down, and not one mistake was made. All of our food was hot, fresh and delicious. My seafood platter was excellent. All was topped off with just the right amount of service. ”
“ The food was soooo good! The dipping butter was amazing. Our waitress Nav was the best I've had in years. She didn't write any of our orders down and everything came as we ordered it. Very impressed! ”
“ The service was quick and friendly. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I recommend the potato salad as a side! The ambiance is divey and casual. ”
“ If you are coming here for the oysters, you are in the right spot! These were fantastic! Pretty good size, taste was great: the seasoning was perfect and the bacon chunks were very good! I would come back just for oysters. On the other hand, I would not order a plate dinner; the blackened shrimp was burnt and over cooked, green beans tasted like they came straight from can, potatoes were okay, corn had zero seasoning. Husbands fish plate was a bit tough and over cooked his veggies were same as mine. We didn't even eat them. We saw seafood steam bags on table next to us that looked so good! They seemed to like them. I would try next time. Our Service started out questionable but we finally got her to smile and chat. There were other fantastic servers we watched. As far as 'ambiance', It was dark inside several of us had to use our phones to see menu around 5:30 pm. Inside seating was maybe 12-15 tables, several large outside tables. Coming back for oysters for sure ! ”
