I enjoyed the Tenderloin steak sandwich. It was hands down the best steak sandwich I’ve had in a very long time. I had a side of Cilantro Lime Slaw with it and it was very good. I also tried a sampling of the Black bean salad and that was out of this world good. The Maple coffee martini was the perfect way to cap off my meal. Becky was our server and she was amazing, attentive, made sure we were happy at all times. I can’t wait to go back and will ask to have Becky as my server again!!

This was a neat find! Clam chowder was filled with clam meat and velvety. I ordered the Cod fish fry. Excellent cod, flaky, juicy and fresh. The sand dollars were home made potato chips with parm cheese, yum! Was hoping it would be potato cakes though. Ambiance definitely made one feel they were on a boat with the nautical fanfare where we sat. Wish this was closer to us!

We ate here for the first time this evening, after being in the area for an event. We were seated immediately and our server Madison came over and introduced herself to us. She took our drink and appetizer order in a very timely manner. We were in the side room with a large group of about 15 people, who she was also serving. Madison handled all the tables flawlessly and amazingly, she was professional but had a fun personality. We asked for recommendations and she gave honest advice and we appreciated that and took some of her recommendations as well. We couldn’t have been more happy with our dining experience. We will be back! The food was excellent and had its own unique spin on some dishes as well. The fried walleye was thinly fried and tasted great. The crab cakes were thin, large and a little crispy with excellent flavor.French onion soup was amazing! Lots of onions and not salty like many FO soups tend to be. The claim chowder was a little thick/dense with a lot of potatoes (later in the evening) but lots of clam pieces too. It was good but not great.

Stopped in on a whim after not visiting for many years. The atmosphere was warm and inviting as I had remembered from my last visit many years ago. Our server (Becky?) was more than awesome. Friendly, spirited and attentive. We just stopped in for Saturday bloodies and appetizers and we're pleasantly surprised. The Grouper bites were deep fried to perfection and the shrimp and crab dip was very tasty! All in all a very nice stop for a Saturday afternoon. We'll head back soon! Great job Yardarm! Thanks!

Cute nautical theme; I felt like I was in a submarine with the kitschy windows and our huge corner booth (comfortably seated 7 grown humans). Any foodie would appreciate the menu. Everything was perfect. I started with an excellent french onion soup with the croutons and baked cheese followed by a BLT sandwich on multigrain with their home made eggplant fries (served with marinara). I will be back!

I had a great time at the restaurant! The drinks were great, the staff kept it lite but fun and the food was a deep fried dream We had from fried oysters to fried chicken wings and all of it was great. We also had clam chowder and Mexican chowder soups and they were amazing.

We went for the fish fry. Excellent. We had perch and walleye with the sand dollars and terrific coleslaw. The marble bread is tasty and fresh. Service was professional and friendly. Madison, our server, was best ever. Our new favorite place in Racine.

Great food and price. Can't give 5* as we sat in back room. In fairness. It was a Friday day night, we had no wait with no reservations. The food was amazing. We'll be back
