Gorgeous restaraunt with gorgeous views. Service was terrible. Server forgot my mimosa. Very few vegetarian options. It took 50 minutes to get food for 2 of our party, I didn't get mine because they were out and I didn't want to wait another hour to get mine.

Hasan is amazing. I don’t understand how this man hasn’t moved up from his current position. Make him a server ! He’s so friendly and knowledgeable. Might get more business .

We had a reservation & seated immediately unfortunately we waited 40 minutes for our appetizer, which was cold. The waitress brought out a new one, only to be followed by our entre seconds later. We refused the entres& asked for the manager, which never came, we left. Don't waste your time, the Buffalo shrimp was fried shrimp with less than spices Buffalo sauce. All we got was excuses of grow busy & behind the kitchen was, however the place was less than half full. Not worth the wait or your time & money.

A hidden gem of a location on the water with outdoor seating before the bridge (coming from Jacksonville Beach) toward San Juan Blvd. We easily got a table on a usually busy Wednesday evening versus the much "nicer" spot across the bridge that had no space. The prices for the quality of the food was amazing and the seafood was fresh along with everything being cooked to perfection. The Buffalo shrimp were reccomemneded by our server Alisha who was very sweet and made sure we were well taken care of. I really enjoyed the views here and it felt luxurious as a date night option.Vegetarian options: The hummus was very, very good and they have fresh vegetables as sides. The broccoli was cooked perfectly which is hard to pull off in a restaurant setting. They had a cottage cheese salad that sounded really yummy when we went.Dietary restrictions: If you're allergic to seafood this place is most likely a no go.Parking: It's open parking right in front and across the "road" which is a gravel road along the bridge because this place is next to the bridge leading towards San Juan Blvd from Jacksonville Beach.Kid-friendliness: There was a large outdoor section that seemed like a good place for large groups/families.

Nice waterfront restaurant with friendly service. I had the Blackened Salmon salad which was very good and plentiful. My wife had the chicken Caesar wrap with side of fries. She loved it. Enjoyed looking at the yachts docked nearby.

The place is run down, looks like it needs to be cleaned. Outside of the menu and food being basic, what got me was the waiter “Kailen or something with a K” wearing a Blue Lives Matter wrist ban. That is unacceptable and tell me all I need to know about this restaurant.

USELESS FOOD I TELL YOU NONE OF THE FOOD IS GOOD AND THE MENU HAS GOT NO OPTIONS AT ALL. YOU JUST GOTTA PAY FOR THE YATCHES VIEW WHICH IS NOT THEIR CONTRACT OR ANYTHING. HORRIBLY COOKED FOOD. NEVER RECOMMEND FOR A QUICK STOP BY OR IF YOU HAVE ANY CRAVINGS. PLEASE DONT BE FOOLED BY THESE PEOPLE THERE IS HARDLY ANY CROWD TBH. THEY SAY MORE THAN 35 PEOPLE VISIT IN A DAY LMAO I DIDNT SEE MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE EVEN AT THE MAIN MID AFTERNOON FOR LUNCH UNTIL EVENING. ALL FEMALE STAFF DOESNT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THINGS. DO NOT COME HERE AT ALL. JUST LOOK AT THE OTHER HORRIBLE SAME REVIEWS EVERYONE HAS ABOUT THIS PLACE HOPELESSS JUST TO LOOT PEOPLES HARD EARNED MONEY WITH THEIR WALMART FROZEN STUFF.

Server Server Atmosphere: 4.5/5Cost for quality: 3.5/5Cost for Explained below:The location is very cool (on the water). It’s a pretty standard seemingly upscale marina restaurant. Our server was kind and thoughtful. The employees were helpful, nice, and polite. Unfortunately, there was supposed to be live music while we were there but we didn’t hear/see it… bummer!The food is pretty average in a good way. It’s not bad but it’s not the best I’ve ever had. I’d definitely eat here again, but I’m not seeking out a time to eat here again.The salmon tasted as expected with your standard rice and broccoli. Could definitely use some more lemon/seasoning though!My husband got the clam chowder which he said tasted more like a potato soup than chowder… and he wasn’t quite sure where the clams were. I took a small taste and it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have a bold flavor (needed lots of salt and pepper). It was definitely overpowered with strong scallions that made the whole thing taste of raw onion (which is great if you like that sort of thing, but not so great if you like a more subtle scallion taste verses the strength of straight raw onion). My husband also ordered the wedge salad. He said it tasted pretty standard for a salad- not stand out, but not bad either. Definitely delicious if you’re craving a salad!In terms of price: it’s pretty overpriced for what you get… ESPECIALLY if you order a salad. The portions seem inconsistent. For example, if you’re VERY hungry (or eat a lot like I do) and You order a salad, even with protein, you may still leave hungry afterwards. I have a huge appetite, and left satisfied after my meal (the salmon filet), but may have left unsatisfied had I been a bit more hungry. If you have a small to average appetite, then you should be fine! If you have a large appetite, you may want to consider an appetizer. Circling back to price though- protein added to a salad is quite a bit much. With salads already running in the teens, protein is an additional $$ which will run you close to, if not more than, $20+ dollars… which, for a salad, is kind of crazy! The salmon was about $26 if I’m remembering correctly. A bit pricey, but I expected it from a water front dining experience.They have great drink specials on, what appears to be, most nights! Tonight it was $6 martinis, so that was a cool option.Overall not a bad place to go, but I’m sure there are places much cheaper for just as delicious and perhaps more filling!P.S. they didn’t have gluten free substitutions, so you just have to order things that are naturally gluten free if you are avoiding gluten!Dietary restrictions: No gluten free substitutes. Only food naturally gluten free (I.e. grilled)

Atmosphere was nice. On the water with docks and boats. While looking through the windows was difficult (very dirty) I appreciated the location.Service was lacking. Our server was scarce and forgot the malt vinegar for a long time.The food was ok. The fries are fantastic! We each had a Bloody Mary. He had fish and chips. It was good, but I tasted it and it seemed very greasy to me.I had the blackened Mahi sandwich. My sandwich was good. However I took the tomatoes off because the fish was so thin the tomatoes overwhelmed the flavor.Total bill, with a modest tip, $67.00.

What a waste of money. Do not waste your time. Conch fritters were way over cooked. The eggs were so greasy the Omelet was completely flat and disgusting. The bacon was a cheap cut , chewy, and just terrible. The shrimp fettuccine was super good. A will not return for us.
