Excellent vibe. Good food. Service staff with an attitude which I love. Great place to hang out. Affectionately not one of my dive bar favorites.

Went here with my mom after a long day outside. Food is high priced for what you get, but that seems to be this area. I ordered the seafood scampi. It was ok, needed salt and more sauce in general. I wouldn’t order it again. My mom got fried oysters and tater tots. I thought they looked and little dark. She only ate a couple and said they were overcooked. When she told the waitress, she didn’t offer to replace it or not charge for it (since she didn’t eat it). There was music outside, and the singer had a great voice, however he sang some songs with profanity in them, so I am glad my kids weren’t with us. I guess the outside was more of the bar atmosphere, but we could clearly hear it inside. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Overall, I might go back and try something else, but most likely not.

Really fun place with good food and great service. Chicken wings were delicious and you have to try the fish tacos and tater tots!

We accidentally stumbled upon Paradise found taking a walk around from Stan’s idle hour. I am so glad we did! Very clean and nice atmosphere all the guests were fun and the entertainment was top notch. The seating along the water allowed us wonderful views of dolphins Play Feliz swimming by several times! To me this is a paradise found!

I came on a Sunday and stayed for “Sunday Funday” it’s a beautiful casual restaurant with a nice big deck on the back that overlooks the water. We sat that way. It was where the action was. They had a bar, a stage, and a singer.

Chill outdoor deck with lots of tables. Live band. Very casual. Family friendly. Able to accommodate big groups. Deceiving big and able to sit quickly with no wait. Friendly wait staff and service. Food was fast, served in baskets. Food was pretty good – Mahi Mahi tacos were good, blackened grouper was prepared well. French dip and burgers were good. Do not recommend the Filet mengion, it was not the best..more like a sirloin and overcooked. Beautiful sunset view from the deck. Cute fishing village with lots of beauty restaurants. Portions were small and prices were a little high given the quality of food. Disappointed with overall availability.. they had no plates, no potatoes, ran out of key lime pie.

I REALLY wanted to love this place. Now, I just want to buy it and make it what it could be. 2 in our party of 5 liked their meals. Speaking only for me, my frozen piece of Grouper (I appreciate their honesty), was steamy-soggy on one side. All of fries were cold. Place was NOT clean. Service was friendly but slow and they weren’t busy and had plenty of staff. I don’t get it… this place is blessed with a great view, plenty of space and close to other restaurants that are better operated and have huge crowds. This place could be so much more. I love the potential…. wanted to give more stars.

We had a party of 7 today for lunch. Very quickly we had a nice table with a beautiful water view. Our table was uncleaned, and we had to ask 3 times to have it cleaned. This was after we had been served our drinks. When the table was finally wiped off it was with a dry cloth that left most of the nasty stuff stuck to the table. We requested some wet wipes which our server brought. Had to lift all our drinks to to clean the table. Service was slow, but adequate. Food was about average, but nothing special. Most of our group ordered the grouper. My biggest complaint is that they would not split the check, so we all had to figure out each person’s share and come up with the appropriate amount of cash and tip. Not a customer friendly place. We won’t be back.
