Wow! We stopped today in a road trip to Orlando and we were a little uneasy when we saw the adjacent hotel. Ultimately, we were happily surprised! Sitting outside is a must-do but maybe bring an extra layer because the breeze is strong. My husband got the fish tacos - every choice of taco tortilla and fish and cooking methods so they were perfectly customized to him. And he raved about the red beans and rice as the best as he’s ever had. I struggle to find healthy choices on the road but Mel’s bowls on the sushi menu were a godsend. So many choices! All delicious!
UPDATE: I once gave this place 5-stars. We used to love to bring friends and family here for the food and the view. Something has changed over the last year or two. Poor service. Took an hour plus to get our food this time.. Some of our food came out cold. I enjoyed it when the live music stopped for 20 mins. So many great restaurants nearby. I would avoid at this point.
Pretty cool place to have lunch! We were seated right away, not much wait when we arrived but then it got a bit busy. They have indoor seating as well, but just about everyone was outside enjoying this beautiful Florida day/weather. They have a nice sushi menu, all sorts of seafood plates, soups, sandwiches and even pizza. Shotout to our server Mac- quick, courteous and friendly. Very laid back and enjoyable place. Will definitely be back.
We were thirsty. Really thirsty. Great views. That and the cold ( kept in an ice filled cooler ) beer made the trip. We sat at the bar but behind the beer taps so service was not the best as we were out of sight. Ordered cheeseburgers which were standard bar fare, nothing to write home about. But the prices were reasonable and the view / atmosphere made up for all short comings. I would definitely go again and bring my buyer with me. I hate to drink alone or on my own money.
Great casual atmosphere in which to enjoy old favorites or new taste treats. The lobster rolls are loaded with lobster and the tempura haddock was really great. Large portions at reasonable prices. The lobster bisque was amazing. Definitely a place to visit several times to try more delicious dishes. It can be up to an hour wait at dinner but it's a great opportunity to to the river walk. The sunsets are fantastic.
