You can get tipsy here, but not bombed! Barefoot was originally built to double as a bunker since it was built at the height of the Cuban missile crisis back in 1962.

We had dinner here a few years ago during a weekend stay at Paradise Point. Great food and service! Love the atmosphere.

.

Try to come early on the weekends cause it gets soo crowded in the morning.. And try their french toast its amazing! .. The service is great and the prices are affordable ????????❤️

Dan DeMarco

Great breakfast ! We aren't even staying at this resort but their breakfast is actually fresh unlike Dana's Resort nearby.

Roasted chicken was really good, but portions were small and pricey . I would say try it due to convenience, but expect a less than satisfied dinner .

Carolyn Zeligman

Atmosphere and prices

If you are looking for a drink on the water, this is the place. Great views

Alex Repola

The special unlocked is not for the Barefoot bar but a restaurant across the way. Kind of misleading.

Bob Clark

The freebie you get for checking in isn't for this restaurant . It's next door.

Lisa S

Live music by the water

Jacqueline

Skip the Baja Eggrolls . Tomato Basil soup was delicious!

Flower Mama

Say hi to harold the herring . But don't feed him

Joely Anysz

Food is pretty good but very pricey !! The service was better on some days than others.

Paul Avampato

The view other then that the the food and drinks are over priced.

Don't ask to have attentive service here. Don't ask for more than 1 check

Melanie Knight

Ordered the cheeseburger w/ bacon + Club Sandwich . Awesome!

Andrew Lutz

Live music Friday and Saturdays at 7 pm!

Get a spray bottle to keep the birds from stealing your food!

Leo Najjar

Life band, good service

Mark Van Horn

HORRIBLE service. SSSLLLOOOWWW. We get seated for lunch and it took 20 minutes for anyone to come over and get a drink order. Hope your not in a hurry.

Megan

They do nothing to quiet the loud , drunk parties who are yelling obsenities and racial slurs and gay slurs.

Flower Mama

Expensive. Ten bucks for a house mimosa . Holy crap. But the view is definetly amazing

Abood Abussaud

Average food.. Good service .. Spectacular view

Hossein Kashefipour

Good Bloody Mary !

Richard Breeden

watch out for the birds in the morning (they love to steal from tables when you're not looking)

Stephan Fabel

Don't come here. Waiters are trained to not care and instead mechanically do their thing. Foods not great either.

B Clarke

Food is good but service can be a little slow.

Toanya

Wait times can be long. Said it woukd be 25-30 minutes, ended up more like 45+

Ken Mauer

Don't come here if you're in a rush....service is underwhelming to say the least.

Justin Meister

Service is so slow -- brace yourself.
