The food was very good. Nice atmosphere. The bartender was alone and overwhelmed. Her service was good but she absolutely needed more help. I felt bad for her. Extra tip for her efforts!

This place has one of the most beautiful views in town. I have had a very good burger here but, unfortunately, today was the third time I've gone for lunch and ordered a burger, rare, and it came well done. I also always ask for well done fries but they got it backwards. I HATE well done beef but will never ask for a new one, with fear that they 'get even' in the kitchen. Probably dumb but just my thought process. I love coming here and relaxing by the river but sadly, not sure I will return. I don't know who our bar tender/waitress was but she was very disinterested and never checked on us or acted liked she wanted to be there. Sad. I want to add a photo but don't see that option

We stopped here for lunch and sat facing the ocean. The service and food were very good. The German Potato salad was very good and a nice surprise.

I have been here many times, great view, good bands, casual atmosphere. I'm writing this because of last nite 3/9. Hot as heck, old dusty fans not working. Fix the fans. The drinks were warm, fix the fridges. The bar back walked by 20 empty bottles, glasses picked up 2 waked back behind bar. I told my friend watch this guy, it was unbelievable back and forth 2 glasses.ONE bartender for the whole place on Saturday night, band night. Took about 20 minutes to get a drink at the bar. The bar was packed with people waiting to order. We left after 1 drink.And the owner sits at a table all night oblivious to what's going on. Help the bartender, hire another bartender for busy nights, walk around & see what's going on. Also the owner hogs a big table, empty chairs while the lady customers stand, always not just last night.Kid-friendliness: Dogs and kids were there.
So we wanted to like this place...such cool seating out in the bar area! Right on the water and laid back, beach feel. We definitely loved the view and give the view 5! That's where the good ends for us. The server was unpleasant from the beginning. She seemed annoyed that we ordered a soda and 2 waters. We also ordered a pretzel and mozzarella sticks. The apps came out fast and were ok. The pretzel with mustard stole the show - it's a real Bavarian pretzel and delicious. The "beer cheese" dip we ordered on the side was inedible. it tastes like water with a hunt of cheese. Gross. The worst aspect was the service. We actually went in for Mahi fish and chips! I'd read on a local facebook page that the fish and chips were amazing. So we wait. We wait. We literally waited 1 hour for the server to come back so we could order entrees. When she finally did come back we were ready to leave and she was extremely rude to my daughter, mocking like and said you only ordered 3 things! 1. We wanted to order 3 entrees 2. So ordering 3 items means patrons don't get adequate service? Ew. Hard pass on that attitude and lack of customer service.

Service and food at a all time low. The location seems ideal but the outside area looked like it was falling apart.

Sunday 3/3... On our last night in town we came to The Hoffman. I bookmarked 3 restaurants for our recent trip. The criteria was always waterfront dining. They are located at the base of that Jensen Beach Causeway overlooking Hutchinson Island. In summary good German food with a great view. The restaurant itself is smallish in size. Just go and sit outback by the bar. For drinks she had a Pinot noir. I really wanted to try a few different German Hefeweizens but they were out. So a Coors Light fit the bill. Our bartender/server Tonya was very helpful ordering up some local favorites for grub. That said our appetizers were a Bavarian pretzel and potato pancakes. Entrees, for her Bavarian meatballs adding spaetzle. I chose the bratwurst entree adding sauerkraut over roasted potatoes. Just couldn't resist the warm apple strudel at the end. :) Just a note, reservations are highly recommended on the weekend for parties of 4 or more. Prices are pretty reasonable. Dinner for 2 with drinks was less than $100. Enjoy
