First Impression
This is the wine list you expect at a beach town restaurant—safe, predictable, and priced for tourists who aren't paying attention. There's no effort here, just the usual suspects at markups that assume you're too sunburned to care.
Selection Deep Dive
The list plays it painfully safe with grocery store staples: Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Josh Cellars Cabernet, maybe a Prisoner Red Blend if they're feeling adventurous. You'll find zero regional personality, no Gulf Coast producers, no interesting European imports. It's the wine equivalent of ordering chicken fingers at a seafood restaurant—technically available, but why are you doing this to yourself? The list feels like it was assembled in 2014 and hasn't been touched since.
By the Glass
Expect four to six pours by the glass, all the usual corporate accounts. Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet, maybe a Prosecco. Prices hover around $12-15 for wines that retail for $12-15, which tells you everything. No rotation, no seasonal adjustments, no one behind the bar who cares enough to suggest something interesting.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc — $38
It's overpriced but at least it's consistently made and won't embarrass you at the table
Whatever beer they have on tap
Seriously—skip the wine and go for a cold lager with your seafood
The Prisoner Red Blend
A $45 retail bottle marked up to tourist-trap levels, and it's too heavy for everything on a coastal menu anyway
House Pinot Grigio + Fried Shrimp Basket
Light, cold, forgettable—it won't compete with the Old Bay and cocktail sauce
❌ The Bottom Line
This is a beach bar that happens to serve wine, not a restaurant with a wine program. Order a margarita, enjoy the sunset, and save your wine budget for literally anywhere else.
