About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
For more than 30 years, Gulfstream Cafe has been a sought-after spot for birthdays, anniversaries and more thanks to the picturesque waterfront view and authentic coastal cuisine. The laid-back atmosphere at this Garden City institution complements the fresh seafood and southern favorites, choice options include broiled Lobster Tail, creamy She Crab Soup and jumbo lump Crab Cakes. Head back for their seasonal Oyster Roasts or watch the sunset on the rooftop deck, all wildly popular (and Instagram-worthy). *Please note: Guests are permitted to park in any open space on our shared lot.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Small but varied choices of food types. Trays of food on smaller size which kept turnover good & foods at good temperatures. Great views of the marsh

    Reservations were for 7 pm. Finally got to our table at 745. Took another 45 minutes to get our food. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and never had this experience. Evidently very short staffed so if that’s the case limit reservations. Once seated waitress was rude and probably didn’t even realize she was being that way but to complain about her tip being on a credit card instead of cash is just rude. I will come back here again as the food is good however if I have the same experience I will not return.

    Mary, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the delay in seating and serving you, as well as for the rudeness you encountered from your server. That behavior is unacceptable and will be promptly addressed. I believe in having a high sense of hospitality and this time I have failed you. I truly appreciate your loyalty over the past 20 years and want to make things right. If you’re willing, I’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the dining experience that you deserve. Please reach out to me directly so I can offer a gesture of goodwill and ensure your next experience is much better. I value your feedback and hope to restore your confidence in us.

    I celebrated my 72nd birthday at Gulfstream Café, and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful evening. Our table overlook the marsh and we saw a beautiful sunset. I ordered the Grouper Francese and it was delicious. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday night with friends.

    As always a consistent and wonderful experience with food, service, and value. GSC is our go to. Jason is a manager and makes everyone feel like he is welcoming you into his home. He is attentive to all customers and wants to ensure everyone walks away happy. Jackie was our server and she was great. Very attentive and patient and very pleasant. She was spot on in every aspect from ordering to cash out. Thank you for always providing an outstanding experience. Again, a highly recommend.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in the MB area. The views are stunning and although their regular dinner menu is great, they have an early bird from 4-5:30 which is just as great. Service is always good and the top bar has to be visited if it is your first time.

    Excellent Birthday dinner for my wife. We sat upstairs watching the beautiful sunset over the inlet! The service was above good, from the happy smiling hostess, to walking out the door, stuffed! Our waitress was awesome. Spread out our food perfectly, friendly, got the order correct, and was back several times checking on things! Very satisfied with her! The food, totally worth every penny! We had Grouper, and Shrimp and grits, done right! The fish melted in your mouth, yes that good. The S&Gs were surperb, and plenty! Always a great meal there! 👍👍 Oh, and for two meals, app, and drinks for under a hundred.

    Great Service, good food. We have been eating here for over 20 years. Very consistent. I wish their selection of Side Dishes were better. How about Squash in season or Broccoli Florets?
