We love this place! Riding across on the boat starts off the fun with Captain Dave or John. The food and cocktails are amazing and the service is excellent!

Had a party of 10 and the service was good and the server did a good job of keeping up with our orders and keeping our drinks filled.
Food was good. Wasn't a huge fan of the brownie dessert.
We all really enjoyed the water taxi ride over to the restaurant.

Food was above average, reasonable prices for setting. Closing for remodel in September 2025.

Stopped in for a bucket and some virgin fruity drinks. The bar area was busy but the bar tender was amazing. She was very friendly and fast.
Bring back old menu and FRESH food. Ordered apps and didn’t order anything else. So sad everything has changed. Been coming here for 25+ years. From fresh to frozen out of a bag. Sad to see this. Ordered conch fritters, coconut shrimp and egg rolls. Hopefully they’re able can rebound

Water taxi to restaurant on a private island is the main attraction otherwise the food is average. Fun to experience.

Really fun outing! Beautiful boat ride to the restaurant, Captain Dave was a hoot! (Been doing this 50 years and just getting good at it!! lol)
Food was excellent, we got the island mahi and it was perfectly grilled and crispy, great flavor. We both loved it.
The only negative about the experience was that you can’t go for a walk. There’s a sign that says “resort guests only past this point.”
We were hoping to go for a walk on the beach, but you can only get off the boat, walk to the restaurant and walk back. It is a really cool (short) walk on a boardwalk through mangroves. But not like you can go have cocktails on the water, or go for a walk on the beach.
Boat ride was great though! And an absolute steal at $6 pp round trip! So the boat trip alone makes it worth the effort - highly recommend.

While staying on Don Pedro Island...it's great to have a restaurant
to enjoy. We had a party of 5 for lunch. Food was decent. Server was pleasant & worked very hard...as they were clearly understaffed.

A Palm Island staple. The restaurant sits on the second level. The small grocery shop and Coconuts ice cream is on the first level. Outdoor dining is available, weather permitting. The menu offers American fare with a dash of flair. My favorite is the Yucca fries, which is sometimes seasonally offered. To-go is available in case you want to dine in your house or room at the resort. Since it is the only venue on-island, expect long wait times on busier nights. It is an early crowd.
If you’ve never been here before, make sure you know about the parking lot. You have to either walk or use a golf cart to get to the restaurant. It is a fairly long walk, especially if you’re not expecting it. Most island goers know the routine and get around in golf carts.
