Terrible service, food, and atmosphere. Waitress was extremely rude and even asked for more of a tip, which is optional. Avoid at all costs!

Locals from an adjacent beach trying this place for the first time.
While the restaurant has some nice views the bar area is void of any character at all. It's really quite sad.
The bartenders, although friendly, are not real bartenders. They are just staff put there to run the service bar for the restaurant. They don't even have basic draft pouting skills.

The food was just ok, but way overpriced. Surprise, it's a tourist trap on an island! Shame on us, when the views are great, the food is always overpriced and underwhelming. That never fails.

The Grouper and shrimp with rice and asparagus for $39 was two shrimp, each the size of a quarter, two pieces of asparagus, a little rice and a 5oz piece of grouper that was overcooked.

My wife ordered a salad with salmon that was supposed to be seared and served rare. The server insisted it is seared and rare always. It came out well done.
We sent it back and it came out mid rare the second time. It's a $30 salad, so strike two is strike 3 for us and you're out.

Not a big eaters but we left hungry. One and done for us.

Such a great place!! Got in right away and had great drinks & appetizers. Bridget was absolutely amazing, she’s so efficient and went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. As a fellow bartender she was FANTASTIC, cannot wait to come back to see her.

The food was incredible, tried a lot of the small plates and some pasta. Very good! Frank was our server and was very attentive, kind, and quick on his feet. The executive chef made his rounds and checked on the tables, which was a nice touch. Atmosphere was very pretty. Looking forward to our next visit!

Fun, casual place; friendly staff. Food was very good.

A great way to end my vacation was getting absolutely sick after eating here. I could tell the minute I left the restaurant that my stomach didn’t feel right. I was sick until about midnight. Just beware

Not too good. The Grouper was raw and the risotto wasn't cooked.

Very loud, waitress was rude, also got our order wrong. They charged me $1.89 service fee on the bill. I was told it was the price of doing business. (I paid cash) they also shorted me $2.00 on my change. Food was mediocre at best. I also sat downstairs in the restaurant not in the bar upstairs.

Honestly awful. The poor waitress was overworked as they were understaffed. The worst part was the food. Some dishes massively overdone, some underdone, some cold. Just a really poor experience and food was flat out bad.

Beautiful location and the food was excellent. I was not expecting to pay $0.50 for cocktail and tartar sauce as I have never had this experience elsewhere. Parking was challenging. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would go back for sure.

We had a very nice meal here tonight. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. Just an FYI, they charge $0.50 per container of cocktail and tartar sauce. I do not recall reading this on the menu, and I have never paid for an itemized condiment list on my bill EVER (and I am almost 50).

Wonderful location, service and food! We’ll return 100%

We were given a confirmation email for dinner on October 26, only to arrive and find the restaurant closed for the season. Very disappointed!
