Shephard's Ocean Flame

The food was great! Our server Brianna was excellent too. You sure can't beat the view on a Sunday morning.

Service from Jerry was outstanding. He just knows his job very well. The fish was point on and everyone.

Lovely beachfront restaurant within the Shepard's hotel. Indoor and outdoor covered seating. Be warned if you sit outside, the birds are quite aggressive. We went for brunch which is served only on weekends. Food and service were great. Pretty good value as well. Would definitely go back.

The location is beautiful and the restaurant itself is nice. However the food was just ok. Obviously others feel the same because we went to this restaurant as everyone else was packed. When we walked in at 7pm there were only 3 tables being used. Hope they can improve the food as the beach location is great and the server was nice.

Blaine was our server and bartender, he provided us with wonderful suggestions, was attentive, and explained how they rebuilt after the hurricanes. I had the lump crab roll and fries and my husband had the Jamaican red snapper, and for an appetizer we had the shrimp cocktail. Everything had good flavor, fresh, and some surprises along with every bite. Would suggest trying them if you enjoy flavorful food!!!!

We were attacked by birds most of our experience. The food was fine except for the horrible frozen deep fried potato cubes obviously from a bag. Who eats that? Our waiter was way too busy to ensure the food was cleared from nearby tables to help out with the bird attacks. Will not go again. Every location we ate at had many many birds that were fishing and staying away from tables. This is an issue related to the mismanagement of food, sugar packets and butter being left on the tables. We watched the birds carry them away and eat them. The other restaurants took these things from the table before we even left. And no bird problems.

Food was delicious. A band was playing next door when we went. It was entertaining to be able to listen to music during dinner.

Walked over from the Marriott for dinner and was delighted with a delicious meal of Sea Bass & asparagus. My friend had the same but with risotto and enjoyed it as well. The key lime pie was covered with a meringue that was grain-y sugary but the pie itself was superb. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant and the food came quickly.

What a wonderful place. Right on the beach. Lovely sunset. The manager and waitress were excellent as was the food. Highly recommend this place

Amazing food. Great drinks menu. Good size kids meals. Service was excellent, friendly welcoming staff

The food was not bad, some of the dishes were really good but some of them just acceptable. The service too slow even when there were only a few tables which is understandable by experiencing the service. I probably won't come back and if I do is because of the location, really good gulf view.

The dinner entrees were good but the sides that came with entree were lacking. The service was slow given our server only had two tables. My husband is in the service industry so we try to play devils advocate. We're staying three nights here at Shepards Beach Resort so we wanted to try their new restaurant as we're celebrating our anniversary. We chose to dine other places instead of this restaurant for the rest of our meals. Peanut butter pie and key lime were amazing. The best we ever had. Sad that we couldn't get more on Monday and Tuesday night as the restaurant was closed. Overall okay experience.

Our server Josh was fantastic!! He was personable and super knowledgeable regarding the menu items! The band afterwards was awesome!! Ashley Lux Band and her guys were soooo good and gave us a great show! We're hoping they play next month when we come out for our date night!!

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Cove Last night. Dinner was great, the service was amazing and the view was perfect. This place is newer and less crowded than most restaurants. There is a fun bar next door as well playing the perfect music for a sunset on the beach. My son played right on the beach after dinner. Lastly- I also received a birthday dessert (pb pie) on the house. It was so good!

The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. Lobster empanadas were great. The service was a little slow considering there wasn't really anyone else in the restaurant yet. It's definitely got “beach restaurant” vibes. Great people watching I guess??
