Fabulous place! Usually busy, we went early and got a great seat with a view. Our party of six got all sorts of dishes and everything was perfect. The AHI tuna appetizer was in a bed of slaw with peanut and ginger sauce that was amazing! My wife had the crab cakes and one of the kids got chicken tenders. Everything was awesome. Bar drinks were generous and beautiful. Desserts were huge, including a slice of carrot cake big enough for two! Highly recommend!

Great place to get a drink and decent meal. Good prices. Shrimp tacos are bomb and it was nice to have the option to grab a drink and app and sit by the water while waiting for a table. Service was efficient, live music was good and lots of gluten free options. Would definitely return.

Great place for lunch or dinner. We stopped for lunch on the top balcony. Great service from Edgar. The fish tacos were very tasty and the clam chowder was very good as well. Tip, order the Key lime pie, you will not be disappointed!

Went on a Friday night and couldn’t find parking but once checked in they said a wait of 45 min-1 hour and we waited less then 20 min to get seated. Once seated the staff was amazing and timely with everything from drinks to appetizers and dessert. Beautiful views as well while eating and enjoying the beach

Josh Hellendrung | Jun 19, 2019

Just contact them by phone and they should reserve a table for your party. They however will not seat you until your entire party is at the restaurant so make sure everyone arrives on time as they are a very busy and popular place.

When you are asking these questions here your speaking with others like yourself who do not work there. Best to call them or ither businesses and ask directly. You will get your questions answered quicker and can be assured they are precise. Happy Holidays!

Do u take reservations

Caron Crovo | Jun 18, 2018
Jennifer Humeniuk | Jun 19, 2018

Actually, they will take reservations for any size group. I regularly reserved for just my husband and myself. It is well worth taking the time to make the reservation as weights can sometimes be a little long. However, they are very good at getting you in with or without one.

They do, but will cancel if you don't show up or notify them of a delsy after 15 minutes. Also, they wont guarantee a specific area to be seated, but they will make a note of it and do everything they can to accommodate you. We found we we're always seated both on time and where we had requested.
