Went yesterday for dinner . Had the worst service I’ve ever had in my entire life . The waitress took forever to take our order because she was preoccupied with playing on her phone behind the bar , eating fruit from a cup of, talking to other lazy waitresses, and hiding in the bathroom . She let my husband’s drink go empty so long that the ice melted into water . She literally got him one refill after we got our food . It’s so disappointing because the foods great the service...read full review

Our lunch experience was fine, but we got a key lime pie to go and for some reason they put a strawberry sauce on the bottom of the black to go box. Thankfully I smelt the sauce before I just randomly dove in because I’m high allergic to strawberries.

Best Spot on the island! Great food, great views, & great times!
