The Reef offers a stunning waterfront setting with beautiful sunset views. The live music and exceptional food create a delightful atmosphere, despite occasional view obstructions. Attentive servers provide great service, and recent guests have praised the warm and friendly approach of the staff. The restaurant is known for special dishes like Halibut and creative cocktails like the chai martini. Customers have enjoyed the gazpacho, rock shrimp, beet salad with berries, and excellent eggs benedict, though some have noted the need for more dressing on the salads. The focaccia has also received high praise. While the service can be inconsistent at times, the overall experience has the potential to be wonderful, especially for a nice date night. The steel drums add to the Caribbean-inspired ambiance, making it feel like a tropical retreat. Many guests have emphasized the amazing service, with several mentioning helpful recommendations from their servers.
