If you want amazing fried fish, check this place out. I haven’t had fried fish since I was diagnosed with Celiac (about 6 years ago). It was amazing. A nice crispy light batter made with brown rice flour. It was great!

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

Restaurant right on the water with lots of covered and not-covered seats. You can sit and enjoy all the boats going by. It gets busy so expect a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink from the bar and wait at the picnic tables by the dock. The staff was super friendly, and the food was good. The Cesar salad with Mahi was ok, not great, but the veggie burger was really tasty. And they have gluten free burger buns.

Food was ok. Not what i hoped for. The menu sounds delish. I read online that they had Gluten free options. Essentially it is there regular food but without bun or tortilla. My server was Medicore she was here to to the job and nothing more, but maybe it was an off day. We all have those. Atmosphere was great. Love music outside. I did sit inside but they have all the doors open so you still get the outside vibe.

This place was the bomb! Full gluten free menu with several delicious options. We had the Low Country Boil and it was fantastic! Huge & all GF! Our server was knowledgeable and we felt safe here. Don't forget to go to the back porch area where there are yard games, live music, and seating all over while you wait for your table - it's the coolest spot!

The fish here is so fresh and delicious and they have very generous portions. The server was knowledgeable about allergies and was able to put together a blackened hogfish plate without gluten. My nephew got an ahi tuna sandwich and it was a huge portion of tuna for the price. Very tasty place for a quick bite.

Fantastic restaurant, service and retail space! So much to look at and enjoy while dining here. The menu is varied and there’s something for everyone…vegan, vegetarian, cannibal (jk jk), pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free…you can eat here and enjoy! Great local spot with lots of extra parking across the street, if the restaurant lot fills up. Family friendly too!

Great service, great food, great prices, great views. Scramble on this place accidentally but we were just looking for some good seafood takeout. We are picking up for a large group and had drinks and oysters at the bar while waiting. The bartender was outstanding. He made us and everyone at the bar feel extremely welcomed. He gave great recommendations and gave several alternatives. For example, the wine that was on the happy hour he also gave an alternative of a wine was a few bucks more but hit above its weight. And he was he right! The view of the pond and outdoor seating is what you want. Great raw bar! Prices are fair for the type of seafood and presentation. Everything that we ordered was exceptional. I especially loved the Chiki Rub Tripletail! Also one of our group really liked the gluten feee options/selection.

We’ve visited Jack Dusty at The Ritz-Carlton multiple times and have generally loved our experiences. Our recent dinner in early May was no exception in terms of ambiance — the setting was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing evening. The service was attentive and friendly, which we always appreciate. However, we did notice a dip in the food quality compared to previous visits. It seemed like the kitchen might have been in between seasons or adjusting their menu, which could explain the inconsistency. Additionally, we were disappointed to find no gluten-free/vegetarian options available. In today’s culinary landscape, offering gluten-free choices is quite straightforward for chefs, so it was a bit surprising that this wasn’t accommodated. Overall, still a lovely spot with great service and ambiance, but we hope to see a return to the high standards of food quality and more inclusive menu choices on our next visit.
