It’s very cliché to say that they are back and better than ever, but it is so true. The atmosphere is amazing, the service from Christain, our server was amazing, and the food was incredible. We started with the seared tuna appetizer and finished with a mozzarella salad with chicken and also a Cuban sandwich. But the menu is well balanced and lots to offer. Even for the kiddos.

The quality and richness of the Danish rib was great but the chicken was too dry and way too much frills around it. The staff was friendly but rather average, I understand it in part, but of course the hut was full, you should and can still make an effort.

Food and drinks were great. I had the shrimp with penne pasta. The pasta was perfect al dente. My wife had salad with grilled shrimp. My brother in law had a fried chicken sandwich with well done french fries. It was all perfect. The best pina colada i ever had. Wait staff friendly and attentive. Reasonably priced

We had a fantastic dinner. Everything was delicious and the service was great. Get the Key Lime Colada and the beach bread with bacon and jalapeño. You won’t regret it.
