Amazing place to eat!! The food really is top notch, this should be a stop on your vacation for sure. These pics really don’t do it justice, but try the tuna nachos and absolutely try the conch fritters! This is an authentic island experience that you’ll want to be a part of.

Kaya delivered a great dining experience, starting with the service, which was warm, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. We kicked things off with the Bang Bang Bites which were visually stunning and beautifully plated. The sauce was the standout, flavorful and addictive. That said, the fish itself could’ve used a bit more seasoning. Without the sauce, it was pretty bland, so a little extra spice or salt would go a long way in letting the dish stand on its own. The Killer Fish Tacos were exactly that: killer. Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend. We also sampled the Mahi Mahi Fish of the Day, served with the Thai chili sauce. The pairing worked beautifully. The fish was tender and the sauce had just the right mix of sweetness and heat. Next up was Flagler’s Fish Sandwich and this dish delivered! The blackened fish was packed with flavor, and the sandwich was perfectly balanced with a rich, flavorful sauce that brought it all together. The fries on the side were hot and crispy, making the whole plate a win. That Thai chili sauce? We dipped everything in it. Truly the sauce of sauces because it worked with every dish we tried! To sip, we had the Backyard Tea cocktail. It was alright but wouldn 't have it again. The complimentary mai thaï we were given as a tester when we arrived was miles better. Let 's talk vibes. Did you know Kaya has outdoor seating? Because we didn’t! We walked in for the Caribbean cuisine and cozy indoor vibe, only to discover a tucked-away outdoor patio that’s perfect for lingering over drinks and good food and ended up sitting there. It was such a pleasant experience! Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: Honored non-dairy request

Food is crazy good delicious. Plus they cook your fresh catch in one of 3 ways. The Bang Bang style and the Asian style were so delicious that my kids who do NOT eat fish decided to eat half my meal. It is that good. Gonna try the 3rd style aka Cajun style asap. Plus the folks are super chill and friendly. Two Thumbs Up. Highly recommend to folks who want a good meal and a chill atmosphere.

Very clearly labeled vegan and veg options, great for a mixed-diet group on vacation. Tacos were absolutely delicious. Outdoor seating was nice as well. Good mocktail and cocktail selection.

Very lovely Restaurant with nice staff and a great variety of food with lots of vegetarian and vegan options that are clearly marked. The staff knows about vegan diet, so a lot of dishes can ne veganized. The saesoning was very special and for me quite spicy, but very delicious. Portions were big, but you can take home any left overs. I can totally recommend this place :
