We experienced 22 North for the first time 4 years ago. The food is Devine, the atmosphere is relaxed and classy beach. The bar sends out wonderful drinks with fun names that make me smile. Oh and did I mention the food? Bacon wrapped scallops or anything on the hand written menu boards is perfect from the kitchen every time.... More

I have to say that I'm amazed at the reviews on this place. Not sure if employees as well as their family members wrote the reviews but maybe I'm missing something. Anyway went here on a Friday night and it was completely dead. Should have just turned around and left. They actually asked us if we had a reservation. Embarrassingly,... More

Absolutely delightful. Even the teens were impressed by the presentation! Teens had skirt steak and the meals were beautiful as well as delicious. I had swordfish with fresh mango salsa and my sweetheart had shrimp and grits. The meal choices are sketched on a blackboard that ensures the availability of fresh, local seafood items and local produce are used in... More

If you haven't been to 22 North, I highly recommend it. Their menu consists of daily specials written on a blackboard. You never know what they may have on a given day. This was our second visit, and both times have been great. I had the fried alligator bites for an appetizer, very tasty. Their where three different small bread... More

What a welcome surprise while visiting WVB. Service was great, great location, and amazing food. I had the alligator appetizer and skirt steak for the main course. Great food. They need to present their beer and wines better but experience was still great.

Took whole fam-damily of 6 there with eclectic tastes, ranging from vegetarian to steak, and have to say the limited menu still found a way to please them all. High quality presentations, fairly priced, and compentent service staff made this place a great dining choice. Will definitely return the next time I'm down there.

The food and service was really amazing. They prepare everything fresh, and I believe the menu changes daily. The prices are also very reasonable for the excellent, high-quality food. We will definitely be visiting again.
