    I was unable to make it but the rest of the group were extremely pleased. Loved the food and ambiance. I had been there a month ago and loved it so I arranged for the group to meet at Neptunes. Thank you for being so accommodating!

    A fun local restaurant that offers a more formal side and a dive bar side. Our family of 4 had reservations for the dive bar area and it is not ideal if you are trying to enjoy a meal over conversation. I would recommend eating on the formal side if possible. The food was authentic and presented beautifully. The flavor and taste was good.

    The food was amazing, our waitress was better than perfect! We went with three children 4 and under. The service was fast and the wait staff attention was so sweet. What a great experience! We will recommend and be back.

    It was a great night at King Neptunes for my 40th birthday. The host was great, service was awesome, and the food amazing! The Crab soup was great. The fresh catch my wife got was excellent, and I got the fillet with fried oysters. And the bread pudding was out of bounds!! Super happy about this place!
