This out-of-the-way restaurant was fantastic. Beautiful location , island breeze, and great service. The menu had plenty of fresh and local items. The mood was relaxed and pleasant.

Always incredible! Highly recommended! DeCota is fabulous! So are the conch fritters, fried shrimp, house fries, and strawberry leche martinis! Don’t forget the Pina colada’s! We love bringing our family and friends here!

Probably one of the best dinners we’ve had ever!! Lobster was beyond wonderful, fillet mignon was prepared to perfection. Please share your tomato salad amongst yourselves; too much for one person as well as the conch fritters. My cucumber martini was top of the line. Thanks so much for great meal.

Food was world class and Decoda provided fine service. The Wahoo Special was a winner and the home made French fries awesome! We will return
