    If you wanna take your family for music and a good view, then this is the place. It is not a place for good food and good service. I’m not gonna bother with all the imperfections with the food, but it was not worth the money at all.

    We had a party of 11 people. They could not have been more welcoming or solicitous. The food was excellent - from the corn dogs, to the tuna, to the cobb salad to the burgers! Service was great!

    The outdoor seating was blocked by a shade. The food was just average. The service was good. The key lime pie was not the best in FL and even the best on Marco. Overrated!

    My only complaint, I made reservations 3 weeks prior. 2 days prior I requested a highchair, so they knew there would be a baby. When we arrived (on time) we were directed to a table 100% in the sun. There is no way you’re able to enjoy you dinner at 4pm with full sun beating down.

    We had asked for outdoor seating under cover and they kindly accommodated that. Prime rib was excellent and Lexie provided great service! We didn’t feel rushed yet service was attentive. Overall a very positive dining experience!

    The food was not good and the margarita tasted like water. I had a shrimp salad and the shrimp looked like they were out of the can.my son had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was extremely dry as was the grouper sandwich. Not worth the money or the hype.
