Only one word for this establishment! Amazing in every way. If there is one place in Florida that sets the par for any waterfront dining this is it!! Not only was the view one of the best I have ever seen , it can be seen from every seat in the house. The entire place is outdoors covered by we'll the largest tiki hut I have ever dined under. Immediately after entering the front doors I felt like I was in a different world , the island feel is almost overwhelming. To start we were greeted by two beautiful smiley girls who clearly loved where they worked and we were seated immediately even though the place was packed! My husband is from Maryland and was very skeptical of ordering crab cakes which were recommended by the server . You would expect in such a busy place that you would feel rushed but not at all, the server actually took the time to answer every annoying question my husband had. Again he is a huge fan of good food and didn't want to be let down considering this establishment was highly recommended. Food was served quickly and was amazing!! We are only in town 3 weeks out of the year and have been back twice in one week. We have found our spot ! The most amazing part of our entire experience was not only the food but just the atmosphere . Nothing and I mean nothing compares !

This place is amazing!!!!! Right on the intracoastal, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic!! OMG the KEY LIME PIE is the best I have ever had!!!!!!
Apparently Bon Apetit magazine thinks the same thing, on there walls are all sorts of cool history and various awards for there food, including an article from Bon Apetit that said it was the Best Key Lime Pie in the USA!!!! And I got to eat it!!!! That was a coincidental bucket list item for me. All in all one of my favorite places to eat on the planet. And let's just say I have been around I have eaten at Paul Bocuse in France top 5 restaurants in the world and the best chef in the world. Google it. I've also eaten at the left bank, Charlie trotters, Rick Bayless's frontera grill, the spotted pig, and next...

Nasty place dirty bathrooms, manager was a jerk. We saw them refuse service to a group of American Veterans because they rode motorcycles and had American Legion Vests on.. Dont go to this place not only are they Anti-American but the health reports show they will make you sick with poor health habits.
