What diners say — our read

An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Reviews mentioning front-of-house average 3.8 stars, so it divides opinion rather than settling it. After that, wait times appears most often — 25% of the corpus, averaging 2.8.

Of the 24 rated reviews, 15 sit at four stars or better and 7 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (14 of 24).

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (85/100), citing 3 intermediate and 6 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was February 3, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 20% of graded kitchens in St. Lucie County. For specifics, the last inspection cited clean clothes and dishwashing facilities.

The honest summary is that the evidence is mixed on both sides. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

  • June 23, 2026

    Wonder wonder place FANTASTIC ENTERTAINMENT however service was horrible

  • June 21, 2026

    Order at least one hour before you plan on eating because they are very slow even though it's half empty

  • June 21, 2026

    Expected more because of the Google reviews, was not impressed, food could have been better (the burgers had a funky taste and texture). Not sure if I'll go back for food but will go back for drinks and the view of the inlet.

    Crazy-I’ve lived in Thailand for 6 years and this place has some awesome chicken satay that’s better than what I had in Thailand! Heather is an awesome bartender and was very helpful with the local events and live music. The happy well drinks aren’t skimpy either! Jocelyn deserves s shout out as well. Excellent service with pompous airs. I highly recommend this place!

    A must stop. I could sit there all day!

    Our first time and the experience was fantastic. Thanks to JonBoy for make our afternoon great along with good music and food.

    ‼️Everything started beautifully. Unfortunately, we found a piece of plastic waste in my meal. They kindly offered us a discount, and in return, we wanted to show goodwill as well — our bill was $33, but we chose to pay $40. The next day, we realized they had charged over $78 to our card. Apparently, the waiter added a $38 tip for himself without our consent. I’m sorry, but this experience seriously lowered my rating. 🥲💔❌‼️

    Truthfully one of the worst services we have ever had from the start. Ordered 2 appetizers, 1 came out and the other tried coming out with the food and it wasn’t the correct appetizer. Took 45 minutes and 3-4 attempts to get one Coke. Never got a water refill 3 of us had to go to the outdoor bar for a refill. Half of our foods sides were incorrect. Children’s chicken tenders came out when half of our table was done with food. I was served plantains that looked like this… and had to ask for new ones… how do you even send these out to begin with. At the end the manager came over and we received 20% off… we were here for almost 3 1/2 hours. TERRIBLE, and the food wasn’t very good.

    We were waiting for our table, hostess already greeted and helped us, and 2 separate servers offered to help us. We were then sat and greeted by “L”, (yes, like the letter because people have difficulty pronouncing her name!). She took AMAZING care of our table, drinks, dinner, special requests, all with a smile and friendly conversation, throwing jokes while keeping us fed and hydrated! (Or tequiled !) I would come here again and request her to be our waitress!!!

    Let me start off by saying I take my mother out for lunch frequently, and on the edge has some of the best service I have ever experienced. The food has never been anything less than mediocre. I honestly hate to post a good review because of how much I love this place. Michelle is one of the most attentive servers I have ever had ( as a server myself) and Alicia the bartender is quick and always engaging, even if you’re not at the bar. The communication between shift change is also flawless if you’re there between lunch, happy hour, and dinner, like I have found myself a few times. Reece has the best menu recommendations and and is the absolute sweetest. Thank you ladies for this wonderful lunch I got to have with my mom :)

    Such a cool place with a beautiful view!

    Aria and Kenzie are the greatest!! Come to the outside tiki bar and you will definitely experience great great service. Great music all the time.

  • May 15, 2026

    Wife and I went on Wed evening and had a good time until our food arrived. After $17 plus $1 for a slice of cheese, plus $1 for a little fried onions so $19 for the worst burger ever. It is a frozen Sysco dried burger and it took 40 minutes for our food to come out.

  • May 8, 2026

    The bartender Heather is absolutely amazing!! We always have an amazing time here! I highly suggest the stuffed avocado and bloody maria (tequila, instead of vodka). Overall an amazing experience!!

  • May 8, 2026

    Heather makes me return time and time again. She’s always so busy but has the time to come and give me a hug and call me by name and says, “Great to see you baby.” Makes me feel at home for just a second and that’s exactly what I need . Even when she hasn’t seen me in a year. The bar is constantly spotless and each year that I’m hear, I pray that she is still here. AND SHE IS. BOSS

    The food and the service is really bad

  • May 8, 2026

    Food was horrible. Not even worth eating.

  • May 7, 2026

    Great band. Great service. Excellent happy hour menue.

  • May 4, 2026

    Nice location, average food. However, please be sure to ask for a printed receipt. The waiter just comes over and tells you what you owe based on his screen. We called later to question and we were told we were charged for drinks our friends ordered. The restaurant response was "Oh well ask your friends for the money" Not good customer service.

    I know things happen to people and I understand that. But we got to order one drink then the bartender disappeared for almost 30 minutes. Apparently she got sick or something like that which I feel bad for. But someone should’ve came out and told us something I literally had to go find a hostess. I can say Michelle stepped up. She’s not a bartender, but she definitely came around and helped get us our drinks. The margarita that my girl got didn’t have the cheese sticks that were two dollars apiece on them or the meatballs that came out separately. They did take the drink off. We went there because of the bloody Mary, but didn’t even come set up. I don’t like to leave bad reviews, but the service was terrible. I even heard another couple. Come from downstairs and complain about having to wait for over 30 minutes before a server never even showed up. They definitely should hire some more help.

    Elle was such a great waitress!! So personable, kind, and very accommodating. The view was amazing and food was great. Perfect vacation spot!!!

  • April 25, 2026

    Great staff and view.

  • April 22, 2026

    I had the pleasure of being served by a bartender named Heather. Heather was fabulous by being attentive to the entire bar patrons needs.
