A great place to go and watch a marina under tiki bar roof. For a dockside bar a great deal more seating than normal, And for waterfront of a reasonable price.And because it wasn't on there the best onion rings I've ever had that my own mother didn't make.Vegetarian options: It is a fish house on the water, these were not meant for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: I would not assume there are any specific dietary restrictions that are going to be accommodated.Parking: There is a limited Marina parking lot right behind the restaurant other than that you have to seek a parking space at the hotel in any number of various locations if you go around to the front of the hotel on the south side of the lot you can normally park a boat trailer with a truck without too much trouble or being in anyone's way, or at least an hour or two.Wheelchair accessibility: Low ramps going everywhere, on the west side of the restaurant is a gravel lot, it will be much easier access coming in from the southeast side I'm going down the hallway.

we were at the ramada for 2 days. this hotel is by the pool with an open gate for the pool/hotel guest. the first day it wasn’t that bad. it was difficult to find a server. we kept getting redirected to different directions trying to find someone. we did end up finding someone who offered to come to us and take our order. food was great. the next day, a saturday, we came to the pool, ordered food- the requested we paid when we ordered vs after like the day before. the server brought us the food and when i asked for water for my party i was told ‘not from me’ by the server. she explained she only brings out food and later ended up bringing us water but that was extremely shocking to be told that. i watched as another server have an attitude with a few other groups at the pool then proceeded to talk to a fellow server saying that she’s ’not server or taking orders from people at the pool, i don’t have time for this’. i found this extremely disappointing. From what i understand, the restaurant is available to those by the pool. this should have been explained to us but we were told the opposite. that they would come to take our orders and bring us food. While the food was pretty good, I will never eat here again and will be telling everyone not to come here. The server was appalling. They need a whole need staff. again, just so shocked and disappointed cuz the food really was good.update/ response:As everyone could see, I did receive a response. Like many people, I have customer service experience, over a decade. Any reasonable person would understand it being busy but the idea that your establishment is not only okay but clearly justifying your staffs bad attitude just goes to show the kind of place you are running. My low rating had nothing to do with how busy you were( It doesn’t matter if there was a delay in getting the food), or the fact that we had to go and order our food. it’s the simple fact that there was attitude from MULTIPLE servers. Your ‘apology’ was you justifying your staffs bad attitude. It’s not unreasonable to expect a good attitude when you are paying to be there.

I really love the location and the options to go outside and see the water and sit on the deck. The service was great. The menu options were also great. I order the chicken Alfredo. It was good, but was lacking personalization, more on the bland side. The salad was great and grouper Sandwich was on point.

Be sure to check your receipt. They try to get you on extra fees. Not talking about the credit card vs. Cash. I had a $50.00 "fee" charge that I caught and then was taken away by the waitress. Shady

Quiet place to have a drink, an aperitif and watch the sunset.

Walked in onc 40 minutes before closing. Two people walked in after me and got served. When they talk to me at 30 minutes before closing they told me the kitchen was closed. Went to Anna Maria oyster bar and had a good dinner.

Five stars is ... not generous. It is waterside tiki with a lot more than just that. So when I rate I don't compare Michelin stared etc .. I rate based upon similar/same comparisons. This is a good place. Has lots of music and large seating and water traffic to enjoy.

Food was really good, blackened grouper. But, seriously, who still allows smoking in a dining area? These guys. It's gross and it doesn't matter if it's outside.
