    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!

    Overpriced parking, full menu, ok food, with excellent service. All this doesn’t make it worth returning. Such a shame.
