Apple Nut Caramel Pie review by Marion
First off, I'm a steady customer at the Sand Key location because the food is always A+. The butter crab cakes are offered on Wednesdays n I'm generally there on Friday. Well, I got lucky one Friday n it was one of the daily specials. I am extremely fussy about food n consider myself an excellent cook n foodie. Hailing from up north I've had my share of crab cakes n know how they should be prepared n served. The crab cake is perfection!! Just a slight touch of additives to hold it together. Warmed just enf n served with Dave of, I'm guessing, Dijon mustard. A must have if you are a crab cake lover. I will have again n again. Oh!! I wasn't able to choose crab for item on menu so I chose apple dessert which is also my favorite. Delish warm cinnamon apple pie n vanilla ice cream. Oh soooo yummy!!
Bacon Wrapped Scallop Dinner review by Travis
Mouth watering and cooked to perfection… Just like everything else I've eaten here :)
Black Angus Ribeye review by Wendy
I have had this two other times and it has been so good. I was excited when we decided to have dinner here cause I knew exactly what I was going to get. I got the ribeye dinner again however the ribeye was not seared in the butter sauce like it usually is. I did not want to complain so I didn't. but it was very disappointing. The next day I was shopping at a consignment shop and heard two people talking about how good their steaks are, but I did not want to chime in with my experience. Sad to say, but I don't know if I will be back to have it again

Mahi Mahi review by Kathy
The Mahi was cooked just right and had a delicious flavor. It was so good that I went back the next week and ordered it again! I highly recommend the Mahi!
Lobster Seafood Eggrolls review by Cheryl
These came out cut in half on the diagonal. They were crunchy and mouth filling. The lobster mixture was ample and amazing. I am an egg roll snob. These by far are my favorite now.
Blackened Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops review by Beth
I am a picky seafood eater. It must be fresh & the Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops don't disappoint! As a lifelong resident of Pinellas County, we frequent Backwaters & I love the fresh seafood with the bacon wrapped scallops at the top of my list. Blackened is my choice, not too spicy ~ really just right! Their salads they offer with the meals are hard to decide between their mixed greens or Caesar salad since both are so tasty! With another side as well, it's an abundance of great food combined with a wonderful atmosphere & supreme service.
