Four of us had lunch here today and it was amazing! Food is delicious and fresh. From the guy in the parking lot who did an amazing job organizing all the cars, to Ashley who took such good care of us, made great recommendations (especially the black beans and rice) and was an absolute delight, to Trevor, who checked in on us and made sure our dining experience was perfect...and it was! The whole team at this restaurant was top notch. You should be very proud.
Thank you all!

Fantastic food absolutely recommend for Deerfield beach
I love whales rib….but I love it even more now because of the server we received during our last venture there! Daz was absolutely amazing, treating us with the upmost respect. Making jokes and making us feel like we were at home. I’ll be coming back a lot more

Fish sandwich key west style - enough said
Wandered in for lunch and had a wonderful experience. Scarlett was an amazing waitress, the conch soup was fabulous, the tuna sandwich was great. The manager even came by to chat it up. Would highly recommend.

We were away on vacation and our cousin recommended this restaurant. It was awesome. Food was terrific and service was excellent. Our server Gale and the manager made sure that we had a wonderful dining experience. Everything in the photos tasted great. I especially enjoyed the broiled grouper.

I do want to say that the price for what you get is extremely good. The decor was cute in a tourist destination kind of way. Our server, Melissa, was very helpful and did an excellent job.
That being said, the food itself left a lot to be desired. I went with a group of friends so we all had to try each other's dishes and the only thing any of us even liked were the crab cakes which were actually delicious. The conch fritters were more like mushy, bland hushpuppies, the fried clams were hard and flavorless, the whale fries were soggy and unsalted, the chicken sandwich was more lettuce than chicken, and the chicken was bland and you could tell it was frozen. The dolphin key west sandwich was ok at best. Again, way more condiment than than fish though.

Outstanding! The food is excellent and the service staff works like a well-oiled machine while remaining amazingly calm. They are super busy for a reason, and we'll worth the wait!

Sad this place has gone down hill. Rock shrimp were tiny. Fish was overcooked and not fresh, fries were raw. It was a complete miss. Hope they can figure it out. Management was unbothered.
