"Oh my goodness, a huge thank you to everyone who recommended this restaurant to us. It was fantastic. First off, the service was top-notch. Not only our waiter, but other staff members as well, checked in on us and made sure everything was to our liking. The ambience was also wonderful - dim lighting, elegant black linen-covered tables with glass tops, and soft lighting around the bar. And the food was simply amazing. The garlic knot bread was a standout, perfect for any garlic lover. We ended up ordering more of it because it was so delicious. My husband had the chicken piccata and loved it, while I had the Cheese Ravioli with extra garlic, just as I like it. Surprisingly, our entrees also...

This restaurant is fantastic for both Republican supporters and lovers of Italian cuisine. The staff openly support Trump and the atmosphere is welcoming. I will definitely be returning for the friendly environment and delicious food.

I had a good dining experience during a previous visit to this restaurant. However, when I called to place a to-go order today, the woman who answered the phone seemed to be in a rush. She asked if she could put me on hold, to which I agreed. After I hung up and called back, I was put on hold for over 7 minutes before she finally returned to assist me. When I mentioned that I wanted to place an order, she responded in a somewhat annoyed tone and continued with the transaction without allowing me to speak. After waiting on hold for another 3 minutes, I decided not to order from them again. Instead, I ordered from a different restaurant that was much more polite and courteous.

"I have read mixed reviews on The Red Snapper Inn, and don't have a ton of experience with this place going back years and years like some of the other reviewers. The place is dated somewhat, but I appreciate the charm that creates. It does feel like taking a step back in time somewhat, and the setting is very dark and cozy. It feels like a seafood restaurant walking distance from a coast that has see lots of good and bad times over the years. This place has that same weathered storm feel. Its the kind of place that seems to have its loyal local customer in a small beachy setting that also sees lots of outside vacationers come and go. This place looks to stay loyal to who it is and what its always been and isn't catering to the passers thru. That said I liked the atmosphere but if you are looking for a bright cheery vacation feeling restaurant, and beachy scenes right out the window this is not the place. If you are in the mood for darker, cozier, quiet with a bit of the older more local crowd feel this is a great choice. Wait staff was nice and I got the impression they have worked here for years. Owner was on site and walking the floor to make sure everything was running smoothly. I know its a place more known for seafood choices but I wouldn't over look the Chicken Fried Steak. I think its a excellent choice and would definitely recommend! 4 stars for me because I felt the menu could have used a few more options in the non seafood category. Also I thought their prices were a tad high for their seafood items. Waitress rarely came around to check on us, see if we needed refills, etc so I had to flag her when we needed something. Other than that no major complaints here and would certainly recommend.....but trust me don't forget the Chicken Fried Steak recommendation!"
