“Absolutely amazing! Food was out of this world delicious. My husband is super picky and asked for blackened chicken breast served with their lemon pasta and was blown away with its combined flavor. He left expressing how it should be put in the menu. Kirsten was our server and served well. Our reservation was for 7 1/5 at 8pm, food was not served till 930 but Kirsten handled it well. Will definitely be back. Thank you!
Also for those who have little ones, have no worries. They will fit right in.“

“My experience at The Phoenix Restaurant & Bar was pretty normal overall. It’s not a bad place, but it doesn’t really stand out, especially for the area—nothing particularly exclusive about it.

One thing to keep in mind is that the interior is quite small, so it can get pretty loud and crowded. Because of that, it’s not the most comfortable spot if you’re looking for a calm, relaxed dinner where you can really enjoy the moment. It feels more like a place to eat quickly and move on rather than sit and unwind.

In terms of food and pricing, everything was okay, but the prices felt a bit high for what you get. There are definitely other options nearby that offer more value or a better overall experience.

That said, the location is a big plus. It’s very nice on the outside and being right by the pier gives it a great view and easy access, which makes it convenient if you’re already in the area.

Overall, it’s a normal spot—not somewhere I’d choose for a special occasion or a quiet dinner, especially because of how busy and noisy it gets. It works if you just need a quick bite, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.“

“We had such a great stay at Beach Lodge! Traveling as a family of 5 with our dog and three kids, it can be hard to find a place that feels comfortable for everyone but this was perfect.
The room was spacious and easily fit all of us, and the bathroom was also large, which made getting ready so much easier with a full house. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach, so we could come and go without any hassle. And they have their own restaurant, food is delicious!
Everything we needed was nearby, from food to shops, which made the whole trip stress-free. The kids had an amazing time, and being able to bring our dog made it even better.
We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for families looking for a convenient, comfortable beach getaway!“
