    Went for a date night and have never been before. Restaurant is large but considering the size it’s not overly loud. Waitress was amazing, made great suggestions. Our food was also amazing! We had the smoke fish dip, grilled salmon with sweet potato hash and the grill tuna with whipped potatoes. Both of our plates were completely empty when we were done. Prices are comparable to any higher end restaurant, especially out at the beach with seafood. Definitely recommend and will go again.

    Another amazing experience Beach Walk Cafe! These folks go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. From the time you enter the front door until the time you leave, you will be treated like royalty. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere, especially outdoors, is amazing. I can't think of a better place for a dinner date. Thanks again BWC!!
