Tried the Sriracha salmon. Huge portion, really flavorful. That spicy kick hits just right. Not a fan of the side salad though, felt like an afterthought.

Sat outside for a business dinner. Service was prompt and professional, exactly what I needed. The outdoor seating was quiet enough to actually have a conversation. A solid spot for a working meal downtown.

Ashley was so on top of things with our big group. The real star for me was the salmon salad&mdash;the greens tasted just-picked and the fish was perfectly cooked. Really appreciated having that fresh, light option.

The lunch surf and turf portion was a solid deal. Good amount of food, and the flavors were spot on. The steak was cooked just right, and the shrimp had a nice sear.

Stopped in for lunch, really liked the chill Florida beach vibe here. The decor is fun but not too much. Had the fish tacos, they were solid. Just a nice, easy spot to grab a bite.

Sat outside facing the water, which was the best part. The view is really nice. Had a couple of good drinks and some solid food. It was pretty quiet too, so just a nice, relaxed meal.

Sat by the water on the lower deck. The view at sunset was really nice, even saw some dolphins. Gator bites were decent, not chewy. Service was fine. A bit pricey for what it is, but a pleasant evening overall.

The wings are pretty good for a chain. I like the outdoor patio area, it&#39;s a nice spot to relax. Service was decent, though a bit slow when they got busy. Solid for what it is.

Decent portions for the price, especially given the location. The seafood was fresh. Service was efficient, got us in and out for a quick business lunch.

Thursday BOGO deal is solid. Went with the chicken parm and pasta. Portions are generous, the chicken was crispy. Service was efficient. Good for a straightforward meal after work.

The old building here is so charming, really adds to the vibe. Had the shrimp tacos on the patio, and the view of the pass was perfect for a relaxed lunch. Parking was surprisingly easy to find, which is a huge win for this area.

Stumbled upon this place on a sunny afternoon. The live music was a nice surprise, and my dog was welcome too. Had a frozen margarita and some nachos while chilling in the shade. Just a really easy, relaxing spot.

Grabbed a counter seat right away even though it was packed. The staff was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. My ramen came out in, like, five minutes flat. Really nice spot for a quick, tasty lunch.

Just tried the grouper sandwich. The fish was so fresh, and it was honestly huge &ndash; I could barely finish it. Really hit the spot!

Been coming here for years, and the veal parm is always exactly how I remember it. Perfectly crispy outside, tender inside, and that tomato sauce never changes. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

Stopped by for happy hour drinks. The deals are solid, and the live music on weekends is a nice touch. Good spot to unwind.

Old-school spot with a cozy vibe. Burgers are cooked to order and come out juicy.

The patio was a nice spot for a casual dinner. I went with their draft IPA, which had a good hop profile that went surprisingly well with the spicy chicken sandwich. The beer list is solid, nothing crazy, but they have a few local options.

This place is perfect for a casual hangout with friends. The smoked chicken was so good, and the portions are huge! I loved trying all their different house sauces. The vibe is just right for a chill dinner.

The bacon-wrapped scallops were delicious. Our waitress Vicki was very attentive, which made for a relaxed evening.

The Starry Eyed Surprise cocktail was a nice, refreshing choice. It&#39;s tequila-based and had a fun, summery vibe. Just what I needed on a warm day.

The fish and chips are a standout. The batter is uniquely crispy and holds up until the last bite, and the portion is generous for the price.

Stumbled in for lunch, been in the neighborhood for years. Their fish tacos are solid, really fresh. Portions are decent for the price, especially being right on the water. Margarita hit the spot.

Cozy Louisiana vibe, exactly what I was looking for. Had the shrimp and grits, solid portion. Service was efficient. Good spot for a business lunch downtown.

The prime burger is pretty good, cooked just right with a nice char. A bit on the pricey side though.

Been coming here for years. The pistachio is my go-to, always creamy. It&#39;s a nice spot to grab a cone after a walk on the beach. Prices have gone up a bit, but that&#39;s everywhere now.

They seated our big group of 25 in a private room, which was so nice. The servers were really friendly and helpful with the menu. Everything we ordered came out tasting good and just right.

The owner stopped by our table to chat. It was a nice personal touch, made the place feel more welcoming than just another restaurant.

The crab pasta here is no joke, so much lump crab! Perfect for sharing with friends, we were all stuffed. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

The jambalaya omelet was so flavorful, with the perfect amount of spice. The shrimp &amp; grits were creamy and comforting. Just a really solid, tasty meal that hit the spot.
