In my opinion, the food was a little odd. They didn't have many options to choose from. There wasn't anything simple like just a platter of grilled shrimp. The only pretty simple thing they had was a burger. The grouper sandwich wasn't good. The fries were good and delicious. I got the stuffed shrimp. It was a little squishy and a really soft texture. The shrimp had no flavor, and the crab was odd. The sides, which had green beans, carrots, and a little squash, weren't flavorful. It came with a Mexican style rice and was dry and tasteless. The service was decent. There were problems with a couple of drinks and some orders. The view of the beach was pretty and the atmosphere was great.

So good we are here twice. The wait was a bit longer than they told us, but we had a table right in the sand and a perfect view of the sunset. The staff was very accommodating. The drinks we great, burata salad was fresh, brussel sprouts were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The jambalaya, burger and fish tacos were well prepared and tasteful! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely worth the wait!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with kids menu and a large beach to entertain the kids while you wait.

I was hoping the food would be much better than it was had the grouper sandwich, It was OK but just OK. 2 of my friends had the shrimp fried shrimp and they said it was pretty good. Drinks were good. I just didn't think the price was reasonable but what I had, a sandwich.

Nice beachfront location and good service, but the food was really disappointing. No one in our party thought it was good, especially for the price.

Beautiful location on the beach but the food is mediocre at best. Their grouper sandwich used to be good but even that has become subpar. These folks really need to step it up regarding the food quality.

Save your money.....unless you just gotta have your feet in the sand on the beach while you eat. The price for 2 with only one drink was $127. That's a salad and a new York strip. The $14 drink was small and weak. Bathrooms were truck stop filthy and the table were all very close together and the smell of all the beachgoers made it seem very unsanitary. Definitely felt more like a beach side bar and grill but the prices did not reflect that. Fish dip was the bomb! And free valet parking with meal receipt was a great option since parking is limited.Parking: Free Valet with meal reiept is great option since other parking is almost non existent
