So we went here on a Monday for a birthday celebration I have to say the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous the location is spectacular their alcohol beverages were very good as far as the food I would say highly disappointed and this is why thereis a three star review most of our dinner entrées came out cold one of the guest with us ordered salmon and it was way overcooked than the waitress very kindly offered to get a new dish and then when the new dish did come out it came out raw. Thewaitress immediately tended to the issue and got the manager the manager issued a refund for the meal and also a gift card toour guess that was with us have to say our waitress and Staff were wonderful and an absolutely amazing job. Like I said we werejust absolutely disappointed with the food two of our guests ordered a steak meal the mashed potatoes came out worse thaninstant potatoes there is no flavor absolutely called my meal I had scallops in the risotto risotto had absolutely no taste toit and came out cold as well we did not make the staff aware of this just cause we didn’t wanna make a big deal of thesituation so that is our own fault but I’m not sure if I would ever go back for another meal there I would go back for theatmosphere and for the drinks because that was very nice other than having a bad meal almost everybody on the table theexperience was delightful

This place has a beautiful view if you’re seated outside. The wait is a bit long but it’s definitely worth it. I ordered watermelon sangria, mahi tacos for appetizers, and mahi mahi entree. Parking is valet but all you have to do is give them tip,the wait for getting your car back can be long if you come at dinner time.

This place is beautiful and it was great for our date night. We had the oyster special and coconut shrimp(amazinggg) to begin. I enjoyed the oysters as well. We then had NY Strip and pan seared salmon for our main. They were both delicious but I wished theportion sizes for the sides were more? The staff were friendly and the vibe was welcoming and calm. Loved it! Oh! The mangomargarita is a must try as well The bathroom was clean and nice as well!

Beautiful environment and amazing servers. Right on the water and local to sea bright. I've had a few entrees off the menu, the lobster Mac and cheese is amazing along with the flatbread pizza appetizer. The classic margarita is amazing along with orangecreamsicle for alcoholic beverages. The view is beyond amazing when you catch it at sunset. Prices are reasonable for theamazing quality of service. Would highly recommend also family friendly and elevator for handicap and valot parking If needed.
