Great place to eat, delicious food and great service and atmosphere. My family enjoyed the food and music and my kids were very comfortable as well, and our waitress was awesome the only downside is there isn’t a changing table.

I was so excited to give this place a chance. The staff was incredible, the food was amazing. And the drinks were top-notch. We had a slight issue with my order but it was corrected immediately. Can't wait to go back!

If you live in the Slidell area and have kids or grandkids, this is the place to bring them! The outside play area is a mock-up of a pirate ship that kids of all ages can enjoy playing in. It is surrounded by play sand and toys for the kiddos. Inside the food is prepared and presented very nicely. I highly recommend the ceviche! I also highly recommend the top shelf margaritas for the adults!

All I have to say is - don’t judge a book by its cover. The storefront may be unassuming but the inside and back are incredible. This may very well become our favorite restaurant on the northshore!The food was amazing, the service was friendly and quick, the pirate ship for the kids made for a peaceful experience for us as parents to enjoy our meal while keeping an eye on our little ones, and the atmosphere was overall incredible. The only adjustment we would have loved would be a safety fence to keep little toddlers safe from the dangerous dock/deep water.Will definitely visit again! Thanks for a great experience.

We had dinner while listening to live music. You could actually sit on a wooden swing with a counter built in front of you while observing others eating at picnic tables on a white sand beach.
