    Very nice and visual spot to stop and grab a bite to eat. Right on the coastline on Ft Lauderdale Beach with all the energy you can ask for. Our server Austin was sensational!

    Overpriced parking, full menu, ok food, with excellent service. All this doesn’t make it worth returning. Such a shame.

    Food was ok, nothing special. One meal came out 10 minutes later than all others and was cold.

    My husband’s mussels dish was incredibly stinky and inedible. They comped his meal. My filet was a little charred on the outside and I didn’t finish it.

    Food is very good and the setting can't be beat. They have to swap out the stark white tables because breakfast on a sunny day is all glare and it's tough to sit out there. No shade. My only real issue is that they weren't ready for us. When we arrived they didn't see our reservation and asked if we just booked it. No, we didn't. They didn't have a table for us outside as they gave them away to people that did not have reservations. They "found" our reservation and moved people around to accommodate, but as the host of the weekend, it wasn't a great impression. Moral, if you're a group (6 of us), call to make sure they know you're coming.

    Beautiful location, beautiful view facing the beach. Unfortunately the food was not as great as I expected. This was a reservation for about 14 people and most to all of our food was pretty cold, not the tastiest. I remember leaving the restaurant and seeing how much food was still left over from everyone’s plate because of this. I will say the wings and fries were the best thing on the menu and the litchi drink was also delicious. Maybe request having your food come out FRESH?
