   I made a reservation here for Mother’s Day since everywhere else was booked, and this was my last option near the water. From the moment we walked in stating we had a reservation for outside, the manager gave us a weird look and said um hold on let me check outside..another guy came over a few minutes later and said follow me. He then makes a stop at the bar and starts talking to the bartenders, I asked are we just supposed to sit ourselves? He said no hold on, then the third gentleman comes over and says yeah you guys can go ahead and just sit outside over there. Now, our server comes over timid and quiet with all menus placed in the middle of the table with no introduction. She gets our drink orders, when we asked questions about the menu she seemed not informed on the breakfast menu at all. We just went ahead and ordered as soon as she came back with drinks. Food came out within 35 minutes, food was mediocre. My mom and dad both ordered the Steak and Eggs (Medium) with over easy eggs, both of their steak and eggs came out completely well done and dry…we had to continue to ask for water refills, and she never asked if anyone wanted more cocktails or coffee for the table. Our server just continued to disappear for long periods of times. Never pre-bussed our table when we were finished, so I just stacked them myself and set them to side. When our server finally comes back over after we’ve been finished for a while, with empty drinks she has the check in her hand. We wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. We’re all locals and I’m in the industry myself. Do yourself a favor, do not come here…This place needs serious help with service and their food.

   Absolutely amazing! Great service from beginning to end, server and Manager checked few times how we were doing. Beautiful view from the beach, delicious food and cocktails. Would definitely recommend and will be back there soon :)

   We went here hoping for the previous menu. I should’ve done my research before making the reservation. Our server was great and the location is beautiful, but we left underwhelmed.

   Disappointing experience. The service was inattentive—no one asked if we wanted a second drink, never got a water refill, and our entrees showed up before the appetizer and salads. The staff seemed clueless and disorganized, and to top it off, they messed up the bill. Definitely overpriced for the level of service. Won’t be returning.

   When we checked in and was seated in a few minutes. Took them about 15 minutes after they pored out water to come back and ask for our orders. Never asked us if we wanted any other drinks other than water. We ordered buffalo wings and we received Jamaican rubbed. When we said that's not what we ordered he said that is all they have and never apologized or even asked if that's what we wanted. They came back to check on u once the the entire time and didn't ask if we wanted to order anything else. Food and view was good but the service was terrible.

   We were very disappointed in our experience! The service is awful - it took a long time for our waiter to acknowledge us and we weren't offered drinks at all. The food....our meal was good quality - well-cooked and tasty. However, what we were served is not what was on the menu. The menu offers two types of wings- Jamaican jerk and buffalo. After ordering buffalo and being served jerk, our waiter informed us that jerk is the only option. The same for the hummus. We were surprised at the lack of garnish and pita. The view from the patio is gorgeous, and that almost helped us overlook the horrible service and mediocre food. I'd definitely recommend finding a different restaurant on the beach.

    Very nice and visual spot to stop and grab a bite to eat. Right on the coastline on Ft Lauderdale Beach with all the energy you can ask for. Our server Austin was sensational!
