Striper Bites

Stopped for an early dinner before the evening boat cruise and we weren't disappointed. We ordered the creamy crab bisque for appetizers and it was delicious with a nice touch of sherry. We ordered lobster rolls and fish tacos and both were very good. Each of the lobster rolls order comes with 2 rolls loaded with decent amount of succulent lobster meat. However, they ran out of french fries and the coleslaw was just okay. The serving staffs were friendly and efficient, and the place was very clean especially with the nice stainless steel tabletop. Overall, the place offered good selections in good value even though it has a relative small menu.

Usually I don’t leave any reviews, but this place requires one. Literally the worst restaurant I’ve been too. Our group ordered 4 appetisers, 3 of them were awful. Calamari tasted nothing but flour, nachos had lack of cheese, barely any chicken even though we paid for it. Wings were very dry, seemed like food was sitting at the kitchen for a while. The tuna appetiser and Aperol spritz were actually the best part. I can’t say same thing about White sangria, it barely had any flavor. But the worst part of that experience was our server, she came to us twice, one time to take the order and the second to bring food, after that she disappeared. We haven’t seen her for like 20-30 min after we finished our food. We had to ask other servers to bring her to our table but she didn’t show up anyway and some other server had to take our payment. At the end our server finally showed up with our cards, but no check, so we were not able to see how much we spent there. Total disappointment, will never go there again.

We went for dinner last night and was pretty disappointed. The quality of the food is not worth the price for one. I got the nor’easter and the scallops and shrimp were so over cooked, they were like bubble gum and even though they were swimming in butter, zero flavor. The mashed potatoes were cold and clearly made days ago based on how dry and chalky they were. The crab cake also literally taste liked nothing, no flavor. How can you screw up a crab cake?? I took one bite of everything and that was more than enough, I left the rest behind. The only edible thing on the plate was the few green beans. We also waited 15 min for a table to be sat at a table that was empty the whole time we were waiting. I’m giving two starts because the place is very cute and a great location and the server was pleasant but I would avoid. We ate at so many other restaurants that were fresh and worth the price.

Disappointed. Despite the great reviews, this place needs to improve their food quality. The crab bisque was so salty I had to send it back. It tasted as if someone dumped an entire salt shaker into the soup. The blackened fish was undercooked on the inside. The calamari was served with tons of fried bread crumbs and few calamari. The prices simply don't reflect the quality of food served. I will not eat there again. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. That is why I gave it two stars instead of one.

We had a lovely server, Molly. She took our drink and food order. We got our drinks fairly quickly. It took approximately 45 minutes to receive our food order. My Mahi club was very salty and overcooked. The fish was dry. They forgot the bacon and brought it out upon request. The crab cake was flavorful but rather petite. We will not be returning. There are so many other good restaurants with better kitchen service.

We have visited SB twice. The first visit was good, but the second visit was terrible. I ordered fish tacos and was presented with two fish sticks on a few shreds of cabbage in a flour tortilla. The waitress was kind, but multiple items weren’t brought out and had to be requested a second time. Will not return :(
