MENU

Nice and fishy! I'm trying to recall if they had anything that didn't live under water on the menu and though I'm sure they did, what I most remember is the many different ways they prepared the many different fish. I love fish, so I didn't care.

ATMOSPHERE

Right on the inlet! Since it was dark, we couldn't see the water, but I knew it was right out there and looking pretty. Decorated festively Fendi Handbags with lights and in a neat space, Mangrove Mattie's has an unpretentious but elegant air. This is a place to take the parents for dinner or someone cute that you're trying to impress.

OUR FAVORITE FOOD/PRICE

Utah Leather

I'm partial to crab-stuffed anything, so I'm voting for the special I had, crab-stuffed grouper in a lobster sauce ($23.99). The crab was amazing as was the lobster sauce. I got a side of veggies, which were nicely seasoned and a side salad. My friend had a huge order of snow crab legs ($20.99) that was also good.

REASON TO GO

Location, location, location.

SERVICE

Our server Chris was incredible. He was perfectly attentive, knew the menu inside-out, could make wine selections simple and really seemed to take pride in his high-quality service. He was attentive, polite, professional and great.

NOISE LEVEL

Monogram Dentelle

It was fairly quiet.

KID FRIENDLY

They have a kid's menu with steak, spaghetti, pasta, etc., as well as high-chairs.
