Was great in 2019 then not so good as changed menus etc . Came Back recently after 2 not so good food experiences. This time I can say it was really good they brought back the awesome green fried tomatoes and the burger bomb burger was definitely the bomb !! So flavorful and savory

I wish I could give this place a better review. The views are genuinely beautiful, but the food itself was inconsistent.

The location is the main draw. The sunset is the reason to come, and there’s a small beach nearby that’s nice for a walk after eating. They were also offering holiday cocktail specials. The mojito was excellent and easily a 5/5. The second cocktail, a martini with amaretto, RumChata, and vodka, was very strong, which some may like, but the sweetness and salted rim didn’t quite work for me.

As for the food, everything looks exactly as pictured on the menu.
The fried green tomatoes had good texture and crispiness, but they were under-seasoned and missing flavor overall.
The habanero glazed snapper had a great sauce with solid heat, but the fish itself seemed under-salted. The grilled pineapple was a nice touch. The rice pilaf tasted like it came from a freezer bag and was not impressive. I substituted corn for tater tots, which ended up being the best thing on the table. Crispy, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Overall, I’d give this place a 3 out of 5. I would return with lower expectations and stick to something simple like a burger and tater tots. If you’re coming mainly for the sunset, drinks, and a casual bite, this is a good spot.

If it was not for stupid parking restrictions, I would give 10 stars, always great. But now you cant park at the restaurant. You have to park across the street. Big fine if you park in lot by restaurant entrance. Plain stupid, not restaurant fault. Some HOA restrictions.

Great sunset view of the bay, and dog friendly. Nice, but small beach next to the restaurant.

Food was mediocre at best. Grouper sandwich had multiple bones in it. Snapper was overcooked and dry. Mimosa comes from a tap and tastes like a stale dirty sock. It is a shame, nice atmosphere, service was fine. This location has had a real hard go on putting things together. Do better, it will be another couple years until I give it another try.

I met a group of former colleagues for lunch. The food was delicious, and we had a great view of Tampa Bay. The Baha Tocos were excellent.

Great place that has been around for decades. The food has always been good, and the view of the bay.
Note the free parking across the street
