    The food and ambience was exquisite. The GroupMe was as the best I’ve had in my whole life. Crispy, with amazing flavor throughout the fish. Well done! The risotto was perfect as well. This is our new favorite restaurant in Florida! Absolutely amazing! We will be back!

    Fantastic. We dined for the first time for a date night and absolutely loved it. The food was phenomenal from starter to dessert. Our server, Michael, was excellent as well with perfect suggestions and perfect balance of attentiveness. We didn’t catch the young woman’s name that was helping clear dishes but she was very pleasant too. The ambiance was romantic & perfect, we will definitely be back!

    Always a great experience at Emerils! This is one of our favorite date night spots and our second time celebrating Valentines Day here. The food and drinks are always on point! Our service was a little slow but that was to be expected on such a busy night. My husband and I took the extra time to enjoy each others company without disruption. I heard others around us complaining about the slow service so we were extra patient with our server. Can’t wait for our next date night here!!

    Another amazing experience Beach Walk Cafe! These folks go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. From the time you enter the front door until the time you leave, you will be treated like royalty. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere, especially outdoors, is amazing. I can't think of a better place for a dinner date. Thanks again BWC!!
