Disappointed they couldn't properly sear scallops for 35$ The clam chowder wasn't bad at least. Mediocre at best, don't expect anything great. However if you have a big group of kids it's not the worst place. However I'd never go back.

The food was excellent. I had the Reuben sandwich. It was stacked high and the Thousand Island dressing was served on the side. I had plenty for my dinner and then next day, too. My dinner companions enjoyed their food as well. They had the grouper Reuben and the grouper plate. The dining is all open-air. They host special occasions. We were there on the Saturday night of Easter weekend and it was very busy. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated. The server was real quick to get drinks and our order, but a little hard to catch later. Another server brought our food. When we stopped another server with requests, they attended to the first one themselves and someone else took care of the other. So although they were very busy, they still took care of their customers. And the sunset was gorgeous!

Amazing food. Great setting. We had breakfast and couldn’t have been happier with our choices. Service wasn’t the fastest and a few other tables got their food before us even with arriving after us, however. The staff was friendly and as before the food was amazing.

The experience in general was excellent. The beach was stunning. Unfortunately the service wasn't as expected but they claimed still struggling with short staffing. There was an old rude gentleman telling us we had to pay separately for the tiki we were using although we explained we were awaiting to be serve. This old man insisted we had to pay if we want to use the beach. After arguing a few times he finally left us alone and we were able to enjoy the place. I have been in this place twice and never had to deal with this gentleman. This was the only negative experience. Other that that, the food, the place was excellent. Strongly recommend.

I believe so. We only went there once. It is more like an outdoor bar.
