Fins On the Beach

Really enjoyed dining here. Very laidback, as expected at the beach, and great outdoor seating for all the ocean ambience one can handle.

Hushpuppies are a tasty start and the shrimp and grits are highly recommended. The fish platter jerked/grilled is really good too.

Eating there a couple of nights while visiting is a good decision.

Pretty disappointing and I didn't even make it through the door.  Tried to make a reservation for 10 people and they told me "We [re] booked up on Friday night because we have 3 other parties of 10 coming in between 6-8 and we close at 9:00."  While I appreciate the fact that they don't want to overbook the restaurant, I think it's bizarre that they can't seat more than 30 people at a time.  Hey,...if you want to pass on 10 drinking, eating adults at between $400-$500, that's fine with me...there are other restaurants on the island who will accommodate us and who have much better reviews on Yelp.
Since they don't have a website, I went to their Facebook page and posted a comment along these lines.  They responded to my comment (which was good) and told me that they were sorry but that "it's a busy time on the island and that they hope I enjoy the rest of my trip to Jekyll," BUT THEN THEY REMOVED MY COMMENT.
What a massive swing and miss at turning a negative situation into a positive one.
Based on the other comments posted recently, management has given up on training, on customer service, on marketing, and on making Fins successful.  
Sorry that I wasn't able to try the food, but I have a feeling it wouldn't have taken the already bad taste out of my mouth.

I was flabbergasted at how ridiculous this restaurant is operated.  We arrived with a party of 5 after just arriving to the island around 7 on friday night.  I expected a long wait considering the circumstances.  We waited an hour and half.  Once we got a table, 10 minutes passed before our server stopped by to say he would be back.  Forget asking anyone for anything - this staff is so beat down and digusted with themselves that they come out of the kitchen avoiding eye contact automatically.  They know how pathetic the service is and they tell everyone about it.  I was embarrassed to hear the unprofessional behavior.  I believe management is working for a visit from Chef Irvine from Restaurant Impossible or something...  The chowder was pretty good, but the rest of the food was pitiful.  Fish tacos were bland.  My wife's salmon was dry as firewood.  I would not wish this dining experience on anyone.  Really....words just can not express how bad this place is.
