If you like river side dining, then this is the great little place for you off the beaten path. A wonderful hidden gem with an amazing ambiance, great staff, and delicious food. Happy hour on the patio bar is from 1500 to 1800. 1 if by land, 2 if by sea...drive or boat, they can accommodate.
Stopped by via boat on an early Wednesday afternoon. Oyster Wednesday was on and we got a dozen for $12. Not a great price but they were tasty. I had the Tuna Poke’Bowel which was very good. The Coconut Shrimp was also good. Nice view and good service e.
This place had the best service and great food! Our server, Julia, was not only a great waitress, but actually jumped into the water after the wind blew a table off the dock. She got the table out of the water and then came back to work. She was awesome! Can’t wait to come back.
We went for Saturday lunch. It wasn't busy at all. They have two outdoor areas - the deck and the dock. We sat on the dock and it was so nice to be out on the water. Our server was very nice! We ordered the crab deviled eggs and crab dip appetizers. Both had lump of crab meat. I got the fish and chips. The tartar sauce had a little old bay in it. The best thing I ordered was their bloody mary - it was outstanding. Whatever seasoning they put in there is delicious. Didn't taste like old bay, so maybe it was a house seasoning. I appreciated that it was spicy without horseradish, so it didn't taste like watered down cocktail sauce (a problem I find at a lot of places).
We went for lunch. The crab dip, shrimp and steamed crabs were very good.
We were seated off the deck at a picnic table and had a nice view of the water. Our server was Julia . She was also responsible for the tables that were actually on the end of the dock. We were already impressed with her quick service and how even on a busy afternoon she was still smiling. We were waiting on our food and gust of wind picked up one of the tables on the dock and blew it in the water along with a women's purse. We watched as Julia took off her shoes and went in the water swimming after the purse and table and umbrella. What an incredible young woman.
She then went inside and put on a dry shirt and continued to wait tables.
Five stars to Julia!! Needless to say the service here is amazing! We did have a few other staff members check on us and bring some of the food out and they were also very friendly and attentive. Thank you Donnelly's staff for a very nice afternoon.
Food was decent, dessert superb. I ordered a Poke Bowl. The tuna was fresh, but I've had better Poke bowls at the mall and elsewhere. Next time, I will stick with a more classic fare.
