We are locals. Can’t beat the atmosphere, but after 4 bad experiences I have to ask these local restaurant owners to do better. Drinks seem watery x 4 visits- all different times and number of people. I’d say all 4 seasons. For example, a guy at the bar today ordered crab legs for the first time. The bartender took 2 seconds to show him how to eat them, then walked away. A few more moments of customer service would have been a priceless experience for this gentleman. I helped him after I saw him still struggling. Service is only sub par compared to other local restaurants and bars. You’d have better luck if you improved service and drinks in my opinion.

Amazing place to go to. There sweet potato tots are so good. The chicken tenders are amazing and fresh. Wayne was an amazing waiter, he got us all what we needed. Kid friendly. The chairs under the over hang, are rockers. Perfect view of the ocean. The fries are great. Highly recommend if visiting and looking for a bite to eat. Would love to come back. The location is a very nice spot overall. And iced tea is just perfect!!!

From the street, this place looks like a classic tourist trap-but it's not! We're locals and we come here a few times a month! Lovely ocean view from the second floor-the food is really good and the menu is bigger than the standard Florida beach bar's! I highly recommend the cauliflower crust pizza, the falafel, the salads with grilled chicken, the nachos, and the peel and eat shrimp! Service is excellent and friendly- we see the same employees over time-so there's consistency! The seats in the booths are rocking benches and very comfortable. The TVs show just about every sport that's in season. Prices are very reasonable. Skip the other real tourist traps on Flagler and try this place!

I went to dinner on 1/10/26 and spent $61.49. I left an $11.00 tip for a total of $72.49. I was charged $76.49 on my credit card statement. I tried to call them but could not reach them as I got a voicemail that the phone number was not accepting voicemails as the voicemail had not been set up. I will be moving to the NSB area soon and I will not go back until this issue is resolved.

We have eaten there before but this time it was awful. The waitress was awful didn’t listen to our orders well at all. Got them all wrong. And the mahi mahi was dry burgers were not cooked the right way. It was just not a good day. I don’t think I will bring my friends back again.

Great place for a bite. Beautifully redone and it's a warm atmosphere sports bar style. Large bar, good view in a wonderful beach town.

The restaurant is beautiful and the view is amazing. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.

The poke nachos were fresh and decent, but the Philly steak was terrible. The meat tasted like low-quality, processed ground beef, and the bread was stale and hard.

The service was the worst part. We sat for about 20 minutes without anyone checking on us. When we finally asked a staff member if our server was coming, she said, “I’m your server.” When we tried to order, she told us she wasn’t sure if the kitchen was even open and had to check. She came back and said we could order, but they were out of shrimp—even though about 30% of the menu includes shrimp.

To make things worse, when we were ready to pay and leave, she asked if I wanted a Coca-Cola to go. I said yes, and she left an empty plastic cup on the table. No drink. No explanation. I’ve never experienced anything like that at a restaurant, and it felt careless and unprofessional.

This place has so much potential because it’s absolutely beautiful, but they seriously need to improve both their food quality and their service.

First off, the food was great. The poke nachos were amazing.
Secondly, our waitress Kylie was THE BEST. We had a toddler with us and she was patient, checked on us regularly, and was all around a great service provider.
We are def coming back for the food, the glider booths, and to have Kylie as our waitress again!
