    Reserved a table for brunch, we were expecting some breakfast options, nope...regular menu...had to search for the server to pay for our meal. Top experience was the Beach Bar. Great mango rita! Feeding the tarpons...overall, an average 3 hours.

    The service was a disaster. I’ve never been in such a terrible place. Worst place ever.

    The food and service are not good and the price is high. Tarpon feeding is fun for kids and the only redeeming quality of this smelly, overpriced, restaurant. We couldn’t wait to leave.

    Tables are in very poor shape. Ours was very worn plywood with bird droppings. Service was on island time which was fine but orders were incorrect and waiter seemed to have trouble focussing. Prices were much too high for the quality, portion size and ambience.

    I went for breakfast early which is a norm for me. No one was there and had the pancakes which were wonderful. Waiter was great and just a relaxing atmosphere. After walked right over to feed the fish and walked the grounds. I know for me I do not like big crowds. I cannot comment on later in day as I was not there but could imagine during season it's more crowded. Great experience for if you stay in area or passing through.

    Food was okay. Grouper sandwich had little taste. The Mahi Mahi tacos tasted good , but very salty. Dinner time during holiday week, it was pretty empty

    My husband ordered Mahi mahi tacos with a flour tortilla and they made it with corn instead. I had two sources hype this place up, so we thought it would be upscale, especially for the price. It was more like a dive. We won’t be going back.
