About Toucan Grill & Fresh Bar

Toucan Grill and Fresh Bar, located by the water, offers a picturesque setting for a relaxing dining experience. The restaurant's waterfront location and friendly staff create a pleasant atmosphere. Customers enjoy the outdoor patio area, which provides a great view and a nice gathering spot by the water, especially during warm weather. The bar area is popular, with bartenders known for being personable and making great cocktails like the Mudslide. The menu features a variety of dishes, with favorites such as the Toucan Burger, 1/2 lb, and local fried shrimp, all cooked to perfection by the restaurant’s fry cook. The homemade sauces add a special touch, and the home-made chips are well-liked. Recent reviews highlight the fresh fish bites and mahi salad, both made with locally caught fish, served in a lovely outdoor setting watching boats in port. Service is generally friendly and attentive, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a good experience, and reservations are recommended during busy times. While some dishes like the Maui Maui app can be pricey, many find the food good and worth the visit. However, not all recent experiences have been positive; some guests have found certain dishes lacking flavor or poorly prepared, with one mentioning that the chicken and rice soup was bland and possibly canned, and the fish dish described as buttery and salty but lacking flavor. Despite this, the overall charm of the restaurant, the view, and friendly service make Toucan Grill and Fresh Bar a popular spot to enjoy a meal or drinks.
