My wife is from the area and we don’t get to visit often we searched for a place near her families home to go get lunch and found this absolutely awesome spot!! I would give it ten stars if I could. Every aspect of this restaurant is amazing from the atmosphere to the service and the food is amazing. It was fresh and full of flavor this place does it right and it doesn’t kill the wallet either. We will be back every time we visit and we will recommend this place to anyone. Especially if you have a young child they have an awesome pirate ship play ground out back !

We had a blast! The food was delicious, and it’s such a fun place for kids to play. The whole experience was great from start to finish. We’re visiting from Texas and absolutely enjoyed our time here! Highly recommend.

Cool tropical vibe restaurant and bar right near the water. Great service and good food. I really enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the tuna ceviche. Feels like a fun locals spot with a low key atmosphere, plus there’s TVs for sports nights.

I have no clue how this place is rated so high! The kid who waited on us was condescending and seemed absolutely miserable there as he dragged his boots across the floor like an upset toddler. This place is on the water so that part is nice. The food is mediocre at best. We ordered jerk wings, they were slathered in so much sauce, to the point it was almost a pile of goop. The shrimp tacos were the only thing that was good here. The Cancun Augachile was the grossest thing I've seen on a plate with seafood ever. Basically, shrimp, cucumbers, avacados, and red onions. It was soaked in lime juice so long that the shrimp came out, and I thought it was cut-up chicken. The acidity cooked it this far. So no telling how long it was in there. I wouldn't go back for a free meal! Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!

Traveling through the area and wanted to support the local businesses. Great place and really good food! The atmosphere is laid back and set up great for fun with your friends or family too. Put it in your GPS, it's off the beaten path.

Holy guacamole!
Everything about this places screams hidden gem!
The atmosphere was on point, the food was on fire, and the staff top notch.
I can not believe we had never heard of this place.
The kids were able to play on the outside wooden boat, while we relaxed under an umbrella in the sand.
Definitely our new favorite spot!

This was a cool little spot. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. Only thing I would complain about is the amount of peppers that were in the pico de gallo and the ceviche. It was overbearing!! Really good drinks!

We ate some tacos and a burrito that was pure dry rice. The food was disappointing, they are seasoning. The service was good, too much on top of the customer, I prefer to eat in peace and not be asked all the time if it is okay. The most beautiful thing about the place is its atmosphere and location. It has a very beautiful tropical air. Excellent hygiene in the premises and bathrooms. Normal prices but not cheap.

Went to this place for the first time for a small Coast Guard retirement luncheon. Everyone in our group loved the food, atmosphere, and especially the service (Alexa was awesome!).
Thank you Gilli-Gil’s for a great experience!
