The Nauti Dawg Marina Cafe

I returned to the Nauti Dawg Marina Cafe after a disappointing initial visit and though the food was better this time around it still was a sub par dining experience. Food aside there are good things about the restaurant, especially its great location overlooking a marina which is even nice at night time. Also, the staff is great and our waiter was excellent. Much of what I tried reminded me of sports bar quality food just at twice the price. A Lobster Roll was quite average and forgettable and at $38 I expected something better. Crab Cakes were overly fried and greasy and if the crab is fresh it's always best to do a minimum amount of prep. A burger was just okay and the fries seemed frozen. The location is really great but too bad the food wasn't.

Super cute restaurant on the way. Great spot to end a day in the sun with drinks and good food. Ordered the mahi tacos. Good portion size and super fresh. Love that they are dog friendly. Dock space is available to park your boat while you eat.

I ate here on Sunday Nov 5, 2023. The ambience in this place is great. Right on the water, overlooking a beautiful sunset. The food is excellent. My wife had the lobster roll, and I had the Cuban Sandwich, started it off with a plate of truffle fries. While you're not going to find much beyond the gastropub style of food on the menu, it is all prepared very well and it comes out quickly. The happy hour specials on drinks are very reasonable, and the overall bill is reasonably priced. However, I might never have found this place if it wasn't for Sandy, the hostess. My wife and I were walking along the dock with our dog, starting to get that evening rumbling in our belly, and Sandy (hope I got her name right) greeted us and quite frankly, barked us in. She assured us that the restaurant was dog friendly and even pointed out the doggy menu for our pup, Madam President. If it wasn't for her, we probably would have never come in and given it a try. While we were eating, I saw her do the same for several other couples. I wish I had employees who were as outgoing and passionate about my business as she is about the restaurant. It helped that the food and service were great, but I will definitely be coming back because of the soul of the staff that invited us in, and leaving this review so the owner is aware of how great their staff is if they don't already know.
