Seafood Appetizers

Tuna Poke Nacho

$24.95

Ahi tuna with guacamole, mango salsa, seaweed salad, and spicy sauces.

“We had an incredible meal for our date night tonight. Jaime gave us great service (All about the U!) It was our first time trying their dinner service. Our entrees (Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon and Lobster Club) were delectable, but the Tuna Poke Nachos were absolutely addicting! Well done on a great dinner!”

Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops

$28.00

Three sea scallops wrapped in applewood bacon with mango salsa.

“Cassidy was our amazing sweet server. She went above and beyond to make our experience phenomenal. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything from the appetizer -we had the bacon wrapped scallops that were mouth watering to the crème brûlée dessert the best I’ve ever had. My husband ordered the ribeye and had the braised beef short rib that was so tender it melts in your mouth. Thank you so much to Chef Patrick. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem and we will definitely be back. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!”

Fish

Dinner Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon

$37.00

Pecan-crusted salmon with maple reduction and herb potatoes.

“Amazing service from start to finish. Warmly greeted by the hostess, then had the sweetest, most attentive server named Lucas. We followed his recommendations and enjoyed the most delicious maple pecan crusted salmon, along with delicious scallops and scrumptious desserts. The manager named Cat stopped by our table twice and was warm and inviting. She encouraged us to come for their lunch on a weekend, which we will absolutely do. This is absolutely our favorite local restaurant for consistently delicious food and wonderful service.”

Shellfish Entrees

Sandwiches

GROUPER SANDWICH

$24.95

Grouper on grilled brioche with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and remoulade.

“So excited to have a restaurant like this in our little big town. Appetizers of the short rib tacos were delish, the dipping sauce was perf! The drinks - lemon drop martinis and ice cold beer (Stella) were great. For the main course we selected off the handheld menu, from south Florida the blackened grouper sandwich was in my top 3 ever; fresh bun, fresh fish , red onion , crisp lettuce and tomato with sauce was on point! The cheesesteak was amazing as well! Highly recommend all the way around!”

LOBSTER CLUB

$32.00

Lobster meat, bacon, tomato, romaine, and basil aioli on brioche.

“This was the best meal I have had in a long time. The corned beef hash with scrambled eggs was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Their biscuit was buttery and tender. Not dry , not crumbly. Perfect. The lobster club was fresh and delicious with huge chunks of lobster and we could not stop eating the fries. They were fantastic. I can’t imagine that Live Fire Chefs would even need to order to go boxes. You’re going to eat every bite.”
