The view is the star here. Had a cocktail at the bar and just watched the sunset over the water. It&rsquo;s a really nice, buzzy spot for a drink. The food was okay, but that view...

The garden tent is a lovely spot to have lunch. It&#39;s shaded and comfortable, and the servers were all very kind. I had the grilled salmon salad, and it was just right for a quiet afternoon.

Perfectly charred burgers with that backyard BBQ taste.

The vegan breakfast is a solid choice. I really liked the gf avocado toast with the extra cucumbers - it was fresh and filling. The space itself is nice, bright and airy with lots of plants. Makes for a relaxed morning.

Been coming here for years. The &quot;island time&quot; vibe is consistent, so I never plan a tight schedule.

The quarter chicken was pretty juicy. I liked the loaded fries with pulled chicken too. The papaya dressing on the salad was a nice touch. Staff were friendly, though the place was a bit loud.

Huge portions, everything tasted so fresh. The mahi taco salad was a real highlight. It&#39;s a fun, lively spot right by the beach, perfect for that easygoing vibe.

Service was on point even though they were packed. Our server double-checked our order to make sure nothing was missed. Really appreciated that attention.

That passionfruit, vodka, and mint blend was so refreshing by the pool. You can really taste the fresh passionfruit. It&rsquo;s not on the menu, but worth asking for.

The walk-up window is so convenient. I called ahead and they had my order ready in 10 minutes, even though it was busy. The food was piping hot and fresh. The staff was really friendly and efficient.
