Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Butterfly Café offers an enchanting dining experience in a beautiful beach resort. The "impeccable" service and "wonderful" food make it a must-visit. Standout dishes include the "best filet mignon" and "to die for" desserts. While prices are on the higher side, the ambiance and menu creativity ensure it's "worth every penny."

    Tranquility Bay Butterfly Café: A Disappointing Experience My recent visit to Tranquility Bay Butterfly Café was unfortunately quite disappointing. The issues began with the service, which was consistently poor throughout our meal. Our server rarely checked on us, and a simple request for salt took an astonishing 40 minutes to arrive at our table. The food was equally subpar. The chicken I ordered was burned and overcooked, making it unpleasant to eat. Even more concerning, the "filet mignon" served to my dining companion was clearly not filet mignon, which is a significant misrepresentation on the menu. Overall, the combination of neglectful service and poorly executed food made for a very negative dining experience at Tranquility Bay Butterfly Café.

    This was a wonderful date night for me and my wife. We sat outside. We were able to walk down and see the sunset and our food was also top-notch. I got the mahi-mahi and it was outstanding.

    Fantastic service, attentive and no rush. The absolute best filet mignon I have had in Florida. Cooked to exact specifications. Very nice wine list. Conch chowder was amazing. Caprese salad was awesome. Can’t say enough about the service and meal. Thank you

    Elegant dining in a beautiful beach resort. Would recommend walking out to the water while your waiting in your food. Food, drinks and service are impeccable.

    This is a nice restaurant but we felt it was way overpriced. Food and service was great. The table beside us had a crying child the entire time, that wasn’t the restaurants fault, but it definitely ruined the ambiance for us.

    The service was great—Anthony was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is lovely. The food was okay… filet, scallops, and pasta were overdone. Presentation of food was beautiful.
