    Website talked about wonderful food…. Not so much. The two omelets had little to no flavor or taste. The gravy for biscuits was blah…. Not spiced but frankly no flavor. Service was slow and ineffective…. Needed to ask for condiments, salt pepper, etc and then get up and get ourselves. It’s a nice spot to buy a beer, side or ice cream but there are plenty of nicer brunch spots.

    We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. It was quite windy which meant it was chilly and we had to ensure the napkins were under things. Yet the view and being by the water was very well worth it.

    Bring bug repellent!! We couldn’t even enjoy our food there we so many biting our legs.

    So sorry to hear that the bugs were so bad. Unfortunately, we do sometimes have this problem at certain times of the day depending on the weather. We do try our best to combat the elements and obstacles that we face being an outside restaurant. I hope you give us another try.

    Great views and classic Florida keys vibe. Tuna Sliders were great. Hubby had mahi fingers that were unfortunately overcooked. Server was a man of few words but we enjoyed our lunch people and wildlife watching at this fun iconic keys stop on the way home.
