Awesome little hidden gem! Love this place. Everything is always amazing. Great atmosphere to relax at. Has a great view of the ocean. I always bring my son with me and he never seems to bother anyone even though he’s a crazy little three-year-old. The only thing I don’t like is the tap water lol. Definitely need to try this place for their burgers! They are spot on everytime.

The family had a great time with great views and eats. Service was poor I’m our case but that’s probably not a norm. Our server never came back with our tab. Odd.

I give it a four-star to compromise. My husband got oysters and loved them, I got shrimp and wasn’t so happy. The restaurant is really clean, the waitress was very friendly and accommodating, so we will be back for my husband’s oysters and I will try something different.

Visited the other day late around 8:45p. Seated ourselves and waited about 10-15 minutes before our server approached the table. She took our drink orders and then preceded to forget who had ordered what drinks. 2 sweet teas and one half n half. We were informed that the kitchen would be closing soon, to which we replied, “we are ready to order now!” We asked for 2 orders of stuffed crabs, ceviche, the Derado grilled shrimp, Mac n cheese, the fried oyster and shrimp, and Oyster Rockefeller. While waiting, our drinks run dry, and I have to wave our waitress down because she hasn’t checked on the table. Takes my glass for a refill and brings it back full but with no ice. I say ma’am can I have some ice, but she isn’t paying any attention having been perturbed by the request. A few minutes later, I again wave her down and repeat my ice request. Now mind you, some time has gone by, and it’s after nine, and the kitchen is officially closed. She comes to the table and says there are no oysters for the Rockefeller. I say “ok can we get another order of stuffed crab then?” She said ” I don’t know the kitchen is closed!” OK!, but you still haven’t brought us any food yet, which means they are still cooking was my thought process. But fast forward a few more minutes passed the lack of service and our food starts to arrive. NO EXTRA CRABS! The civiche was watered down lime juice and all tomatoes. My grilled shrimp was overcooked and chewy, plus the bed of elotes that it came on was just canned corn with seasoning sprinkled on top. The Mac n cheese was box craft macaroni and we were left highly disappointed. My friend said the fried oysters and shrimp were alright but nothing special and the stuffed crabs were good but everything else including our service was trash! Bad food to go along with poor service does not make for a good combo. If I do decide to give Dorrados another shot I will just get the burger. There were a few more low points I could go into detail to on the service but I will let what I’ve written speak for my experience. Having said that I won’t say don’t go here, but I would just caution you to adjust your expectations and you judge for yourself….you might have a better server and cook on a different shift.

Beautiful day at the beach stopped in for dinner. Upstairs from The Well. On the deck while having nice dinner saw a dolphin playing in bay. Shrimp was amazing but oysters grilled, not so much. Partner got the dive burger which was amazing fries are great, hush puppies small and over cooked. Got tea and soda but they were salty I think it was the ice but not sure.

Nice place to get lunch after a hot morning of fishing. I had the oyster PoBoy which was excellent but it was disappointing that is was so small. It was delicious but just wished there was more. It was only about 4-5” long.

A pretty good experience while eating lunch. Not a fancy menu, but the food was good, delicious actually. We got to seat at the table of our choice and got a great view of the channel and the boats and barges going up and down while we were enjoying our meal.

Cool Bar and Restaurant right on the water of the Intracoastal waterway. They have a bar underneath and a bar restaurant above. They will cook your catch if you like or a great selection of seafood, burgers and more. If you enjoy a drink or two they have a very extensive drink menu as well. I had a fish taco and shrimp Po Boy, both very good. The Po Boy had a LOT of shrimp on it, more than any other place I have had one in Texas or Louisiana.
