    Very pretty atmosphere and nice staff….but CRAZY prices for the quality of food. Oysters were the smallest I’ve ever seen- we thought it was a joke. Fish was so overcooked I could barely eat it. The ribeye was just meh. Save your money - Head to the bar by the pool instead.

    The service was very good for a buffet. The taste of the food was good & the best thing I had was the omelette. And that's were the good stops. The food from the buffet was cold & I could have done without two mice running across the sidewalk.

    This place is an absolute hidden gem! I was thrilled that I was able to make a reservation. Our table was ready when we arrived. And they offer complimentary valet parking. The atmosphere at this restaurant is very cool with the most beautiful view of the gulf! We have been coming to Gulf Shores every year for 30 years and this is one of the most special places we’ve dined at here. It was a relaxing environment, unhurried pace w/ comfortable seating. The food was exceptional! My husband and I got the blackened snapper, which was the fish of the day and was served with delicious roasted brussel sprouts and a very flavorful rice dish. Our kids ordered fish & chips, blackened shrimp and a beautiful, unique salad w/ grilled chicken and they all loved their food. The servings were very generous too! Our waitress did a fantastic job and after dinner, one of the bus boys took several photos of our family out on the corner of the deck w/ the gulf & natural plants and deck furniture behind us…perfect spot for photos w/ a beautiful backdrop!! This place has a special, relaxed vibe and the outdoor seating w/ umbrellas are nice too w/ comfy chairs throughout. This will be a place we’ll enjoy again when we return! You won’t be disappointed!

    The food was surprisingly good! Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and mentioned they’d like to come back. Atmosphere is on the casual side but the food isn’t typical fried or basic food. Well done! We’ll be back.

    Wife fish dish was over done. The Brussels were mushy. The wedge was not very tasty. Restaurant was ok at best
