    "We had two wonderful meals here while vacationing on FMB. Cocktails were craft made and perfect. The first night we sat inside and went all-in on the grouper: the grilled version was perfectly flaky and light, and the blackened grouper had that ideal Cajun crust with tender, fresh fish inside. Second night we snagged a table out on the dock and started with the Crab & Lobster Artichoke Dip, Creamy, loaded with big chunks of lobster and crab, served piping hot. The cast-iron ribeye was juicy, perfectly seared with a gorgeous crust, and the filet mignon literally melted in your mouth. Service both nights was fantastic. On The Bay is a solid 5/5."

    "We caught them on the second day they had reopened so the staffing was a little chaotic, but no big deal because it didn’t affect our dinner. I’m sure they will get it all settled. We had the: Crab lobster and artichoke dip- okay Frutti di mare aka seafood pasta- great Catch of the day-mahi- good The view was nice, the atmosphere was classy, and the food was good. We would eat there again. We would eat there again."

    "We came in and got seated pretty quickly, when we started ordering drinks they forgot some drinks but not a big deal because they got it quickly after me told them. The food was amazing highly recommend any food!! The service was a little slow because of short staff but everybody was very very sweet and nice! There was a mistake with the bill, she gave our bill to another person, but we got it sorted out. This was a very nice and delicious restaurant, and tremendous water view with great dockage. Would recommend for a good Sunday lunch or Dinner!"
