Absolutely amazing!!! Food was so incredibly awesome. Our server Dana was the absolute best. She was on top of everything. Very attentive but at the right times (not when our mouths were full of food). The view was beautiful, and watching the boats pass was nice. It was the cherry on top of a great day. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant for more amazing sea food. Thank you for such a great experience.

We had a few places we wanted to try out for dinner tonight and settled on JM’s. I am SO happy we did! I had one of the specials of the night which was scallop tacos! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. We received our food and drinks quickly. Our waitress did a spectacular job attending to us! The views from outside were to die for!! All in all, a great place to enjoy some quality food and views!

Stopped in for a drink after getting to the island. Great views. Decent selection of drinks. Bartender was quite nice but she seemed a little over her head as she wasn’t quite sure how to properly mix a mimosa and even though I reported the “All Day IPA” as being “off” (it’s my daily drinker… I know what it is supposed to taste like) she said she thought it was good. Nonetheless, she replaced it with a different beer… no questions asked… so thanks for that. I also got a seriously cracked pint glass. Again, not a big deal but something a bartender should catch on the front end. Met a really nice local couple at the bar who gave us some GREAT local recommendations on where to drink and eat.

Fantastic experience. Food was delicious and all staff were very friendly. We got the Bang Bang Shrimp, Salmon dinner, and the Baja Shrimp Tacos. Let me just say…that Bang Bang Shrimp…just wow…so good.

Can’t beat the waterfront dining. We will be back!!! Busy and understaffed like everyone else. But the difference is being apologetic and explaining in advance. The meal was delivered in a timely manner even with being busy. The food was outstanding. The staff was nice and friendly. 5 stars

Had dinner there with the wife and a few of the kiddos after some time at Topsail Beach. Food was good and service was fantastic. We sat out on the patio and had the view of the water.

Unfortunately this high priced restaurant has mediocre food and rough service to go with its spectacular views. Crab dip had no crab in it… tasted like cream cheese for $15.Crab was good but overpriced for snow crab $42… steak ordered was $40 and overcooked. It wasn’t terribly busy but they tried to serve white wine in a plastic cup because they “ran out of wine glasses.” Crab cakes were excellent. Fried oysters were not good. Small and no taste.Tacos… apparently they ran out of steak at 6 pm? …after being closed Monday and Tuesday ( this was Wednesday)Chicken tacos were alright but had to be returned once due to not coming as asked . Service was spotty. Ran out of water … we had to ask for crab crackers and then she only brought one with three eating crab. We were never asked if we wanted another drink. We were never offered desert just the bill . We had high hopes but were highly disappointed.

My husband and I went here for lunch. No wait. Server Tyler was “AMAZING”! He answered all of our questions and was very helpful with menu selection. My husband had the fish tacos with fresh catch Red Drum and I had the burger (not a fish girl ) Tacos were very good per my husband, with Onion rings which were nice and crispy. My burger was good with some of their signature sauce, made in house and super good. Nice bar selection with craft beers available. Scenery was Awesome! Will definitely eat here again.
