The ultimate is "old Florida" restaurants ... get a table under the banyan trees and go after dark... the white lights in the trees are great
Everything is fantastic but I am partial to anything that involves Grouper ! Make sure you see Chelsea, she is a rockstar!
Farm salad , Kung Pao Avocado , Cheesy Grits , and Southern Squash Casserole was excellent. The steamer pot was good, but on the small side for 2 people.
One of my favorite spots for seafood , but the real gem on the menu...Mar Vista Tater Tots !!!
They recently remodeled the restaurant and upgraded the menu. Everything is fresh and tasty. The water views are impressive.
Lovely al fresco dining amongst the trees . Great for a late lunch or early dinner in the shade.
Scallops and bacon appetizer is delish! The Chillean Sea Bass is the fabulous! Pricy but good!
Great food, service, and awesome view under the trees overlooking the water. Wonderful way to spend the day with hubby!
One of our all time favorites. Dock the boat and have a beer and great food.
Great outdoor setting . Good is very good. Service was excellent.
Coconut bread is so good. Love the tuna fusion. One of my favs ever!
Try and get here early to get a great view of the water and boats while you eat
The best grouper Reuben . Try substituting cole slaw for the sauerkraut for a change of pace.
Eat under the banyan trees good scallops roumaki and grouper quesadillas
The best shrimp I have ever had....bud and old bay peel and eat! Awesome!

Try the tuna fusion. Calamari is good too!

Really good rum runners !
Used to have one of the best dog-friendly outdoor areas around, now they do not allow dogs. Such a shame, we loved coming here with our pup.
Great food. And love the malibu buckets !!!!
Crab cakes
Crabcakes are all crab !
Okinawa sweet potatoes
The Scallops Rumaki are awesome.
Views are decent, food is ok, service left something to be desired.
Best steamer pots here!!
Not much. Prices too high for quality of fare. Friendly staff though.
Key Lime Pie is to die...
Filthy smell in dining room, long wait .
Extreme wait and very dirty restrooms . Inside smells fishy.
