“ If you're looking for dinner on the water, this is a great place to go. We enjoyed sitting outside looking out at the river. Food, service, and the live band were all great. I ordered their fresh catch of the day - wreckfish, first time trying and it was good! We definitely will be back. ”
“ I absolutely love this place. We went off season, but it was still a beautiful experience. We ate outside even though it was chilly because we had our dog with us. This place is pet friendly and so kind. The view outside is great with the marina vibe outside. The service was amazing, and the food was great. We had the Pork Shanks and Calamari. The Pork Shanks were a winner. ”
“ Delightful experience. Great location on a canal. We sat outside. We had great service and the food and drinks were great. My husband had a margarita and the smoked salmon BLT. I had a key lime colada and the grilled grouper sandwich. We split a slice of key lime pie for dessert. Our food was cooked perfect. The key lime pie was the consistency of cheesecake but was flavorful. Will definitely visit again if in the area. ”
“ the crab melt was fantastic! There was an insane amount of lump crab in the sandwich, along with avocado and bacon. It was a fabulous seafood sandwich. Washed it down with a draft Dogfish-60, and had some fried grouper as an appetizer. The service was attentive and professional. And the view is great! ”
“ Cool location, great food, and great vibes! Very dog friendly too! Did not get the meet the labradors sadly, but loved the sign! ”
“ I don’t normally write reviews, but this restaurant deserves much more love (review wise) than it has received. My wife and I visited Lewis beach today. After we were done, we were hungry and tired and looking for local seafood to satisfy our cravings. We came across WheelHouse. The front of house was kind, and attentive. They quickly got us seated and offered us the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Once seated, our server offered us ice cold water which was perfect under the scorching heat of today. Hunter, our server was kind, knowledgeable and very attentive. As busy as they were, we received our food within 10-20 minutes. Our food was fresh and beautifully crafted. To the owner/head chef: you make absolutely the best seafood pot pie, and crab cake melt. The fries were also the best I ever had in my lifetime. You felt like our own personal chef. To sum this up, this place has great service, amazing heart and should definitely be given a try! 10/10 recommend ”
“ Our pup had a great time at the restaurant’s patio by the water. We had a nice view of boats and water and our waitress was helpful by bringing water for our pup and very attentive to us. Crab cakes are big portions and delicious. The grilled grouper sandwich was delicious and big portions and highly recommended this ”
“ Great spot on the canal. Had a wonderful pasta dish, with others in our party getting the shrimp po’boy, the salmon, and a burger. Service was terrific and the atmosphere lovely, overlooking the docks and canal. Highly recommended. ”
