Nice view of water if that is something you are looking for. Service is what got it 3 stars. Drinks are nothing special, just get sparkling water. One of the pasta plates had a healthy fly in it, thank goodness she noticed it because we came in there ready to eat and was going in. A waiter and I am going to say possibly one of the managers came by and immediately apologized and her got a fresh plate and I believe took it off the check. Nothing to brag about when it comes to the food but that service was much appreciated.

I have been here several times before and have never been disappointed. Today I had the gumbo soup which was spicy, thick and totally delicious. The stuffed Shrimp with lobster cream sauce was just so-so. The salad was crisp, fresh and yummy. The shrimp ala vodka

Absolutely wonderful food they had a salad with a little bit of watermelon and almond slippers that tasted absolutely wonderful. The steak I wanted was pretty good, marinated and cook just the way I like it. Now the thing that really blew me away was the seasoned french fries they had a wonderful flavor fried to a wonderful texture and I absolutely enjoyed it. The view was nice also.

This was first dining experience since being inside for months due to the pandemic. I have been to Rachel’s before and I enjoy their food so much. My friend and I were celebrating his birthday. I tried something new, the crab cake with a cesar salad on the side. He had the stuffed flounder. The presentation was beautiful and the food was scrumptious!

Was on business from out of town and found this place along a strip of restaurants along the water. We were seated quickly at a table for two overlooking the water and immediately served a complimentary irish hot chocolate, as was the night before St. Patrick’s Day! Among the various seafood menu items, I selected the mahi mahi blackened, one of 5 styles available for selected fish entrees. My wife had sauteed seafood, combining clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp and spaghetti zuchini. Salad or soup available a part of the entree. Our meals were $33 and $35. We quickly received bread and ice water, Tony was very attentive. My mahi mahi came over a bed of tomotoe risotto, and was delicious as was my wife’s meal. The view over the water was great. For dinner, service, and view 5 stars. 4 stars only because the dining area, although nice, was not a 5 star look. Would recommend.

Love this place! Went there for lunch and I had skirt steak with French fries and a pina colada!!!!! I just wish they still had the rolls versus the sliced bread but otherwise It was sooo good especially the fries! A+ service! I had a groupon that expired and the manager still used it towards my meal! SO NICE! would go here anytime!

Located about half way down the Freeport Boardwalk, this restaurant accepts Walk-Ins (see photo) and reservations. Open air and inside seating with a canal view available. Very friendly and attentive staff. The prices were good and the food was better. The specials menu had a nice variety of both seafood and meat. The calamari appetizer practically melts in your mouth. My only complaint was that the kids soda refills were each charged as a new drink. Wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and cost a small fortune (4 kids with us). Should have asked, but will definitely be back.

This place has great seafood and drinks with indoor and outdoor seating right on the canal at The Nautical Mile. The service was also on point.
