The restaurant is rather small but the food is extremely good, especially “Special of the Day”. The service is excellent with very supportive, attentive and friendly staff.

This was by far the best food we’ve had since we’ve been in Florida. The food was fine dining at it’s best. Great food, great views, and great service. If you stay at The Pink Shell Resort and Marina must eat here.

We reserved a table for 13 to celebrate my sister’s wedding on June 18th 2021. Aaron was incredibly helpful throughout the communication process and he delivered everything that we arrange in a pre fixed menu. He’s a true professional. Ali, our server, was friendly and very knowledgeable, she’s truly amazing. The entire team was incredible, we stayed later after del closed but they stayed always bringing us the best service possible. Amazing experience for an magical night. Tahnks Aaron, Ali and the whole crew.

The wait staff was very good. That’s where it ends. The food was very bland and my veal parmigiana was over cooked. The place is kind of small and non descriptive. Not sure if it’s trying to be a fine dining restaurant but it fails at that.

This restaurant is located in Pink shell Resort and has a fantastic view of the beach and sunset from all tables. The food was really good and included some fresh baked bread. There was more then enough to fill my hollow leg and put a smile on my face. Our waitress was super friendly and catered to our every request. FYI a foot massage was not included. We had no less then 5 people serving us and treating us like a King and his Queen. We shell return!!
