Definitely going back whenever we're in the area.“

“My family ate dinner here one night 2 years ago and it was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. We returned again tonight and it was still just as good as it was 2 years ago! The food was so flavorful and fresh, everything was served hot and it was amazing. The staff were friendly and atmosphere was so comfortable., I highly recommend this place 10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this place deserves an award!“

“We ordered from here frequently when at the pool daily and the wait staff was kind and the food wasn't bad, one waitress even brought us a complimentary guacamole since the seagulls literally ripped our whole basket of chips and guac apart when we stepped away for about 2 seconds to grab my other child to sit and eat the food we ordered. We appreciated that very much. However, on our last night we dined here and my children were served raw chicken tenders with the batter oozing out and when cut open just complete raw chicken beneath the fried part. THANK GOD I didn't just give my kids the tenders to eat and cut them open for them in attempts to have them cool off quicker because they were so hungry. The waitress comped their meal (even though their meals were half off during the promotion), but we appreciated the gesture at making raw chicken being served an okay thing. Other than that the food was alright, the calamari was fishy tasting and my mahi mahi was rubbery. It was convenient to have by the poolside to order from the menu offerings were nice but don't think I'd actually dine here for dinner but would order poolside again forsure.“

“The white hair guy is horrible! I think his name is Wesley? He yells at the servers! We won’t be back until he is gone! Get rid of him! He’s mean to your staff.“

“Another great meal yesterday at Kitchen 251. We finally had a chance to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and or meal.“

TV, Music, own bar tender, plenty of seating... lovely atmosphere, great in-house Beer too!“

“Our first visit was great. There was a Gouda Mac & cheese with grilled chicken that was awesome. Came back the next day for lunch and they completely redid the menu, taking it off and the dessert we were eyeing. Hope they bring it back in the future!“

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!“

“1st try at this pick-up thing. Using the ap was easier than expected. We had to get home but had hankering for a good reasonably priced steak. Chili's is the only place in this area. Everywhere else is $$$. We live in a condo. So we can't grill our own. This was a perfect option. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. And we got free chips and salsa on top of it all.“

“Would like to see a different menu with some lighter options. Our food was greasy and unappealing. They're content to just be a bar that happens to serve some grub; not sure that will satisfy the locals.“

“Server was amazing. Can’t remember her name, but she mentioned she was a teacher. Had amazing energy and was super helpful and it seemed she was running the whole front of house solo.“

“My kids say this is the one of the best restaurants in Florida. Food is consistently good and after multiple visits we have never had a less than stellar server. Today we had Ann and the kids loved her! Made them custom drinks and was super friendly, personable, and attentive.“

“Great place to work as well“

“We ate there today food great our waitress Taylor was great.“
