About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
For more than 30 years, Gulfstream Cafe has been a sought-after spot for birthdays, anniversaries and more thanks to the picturesque waterfront view and authentic coastal cuisine. The laid-back atmosphere at this Garden City institution complements the fresh seafood and southern favorites, choice options include broiled Lobster Tail, creamy She Crab Soup and jumbo lump Crab Cakes. Head back for their seasonal Oyster Roasts or watch the sunset on the rooftop deck, all wildly popular (and Instagram-worthy). *Please note: Guests are permitted to park in any open space on our shared lot.

    Girls weekend, and we picked a winner with Gulfstream cafe! We enjoyed outside dining with a front row to watch the sunset! Our Waitress, which I can’t remember her name (think Kerry) was fantastic!!! Parking was a challenge but it was worth the few extra minutes of unrest! Oh, and for you non drinkers… the Coconut FAUX-jitters was amazing!!!

    Wonderful evening dinner overlooking the inlet. Food was very good and service was warm and friendly. Please do not go and sit outside on the very top watching the sunset. Leave it for our return!

    Food was excellent. Parking was a major problem. We went through parking lot about 5 times and we finally found a parking lot out on street. Restaurant was a must and we will be back

    I would have given a 5 star overall rating if it were not for the fact that, during a heavy storm< the ceiling was leaking everywhere, including onto our table and others'. Our server, Anna M., was very attentive and catered to our every wish with a great attitude and professionalism. She checked on us as appropriate as did the manager, personally. My she crab soup was delicious as was my crab cakes entree'. My son had the bacon app and he loved it and also his Tuna Tartare was cooked to perfection. My girlfriend had the shrimp and filet and, that too, was cooked to perfection. Her only complaint was that her shrimp had red pepper flakes on it. She is sensitive to pepper, but forgot to mention it to the server. All in all, we had a great time. I highly recommend Gulfstream Cafe.

    Lou, Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful review. We're so glad you enjoyed the food and that Anna, along with our manager, made you feel well cared for throughout your visit. We're sorry about the ceiling leak during the storm—that's certainly not ideal and we appreciate your patience and understanding. It's great to hear that everything from the she crab soup to the tuna tartare and filet was enjoyed. We’re grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon under drier skies!

    Highly recommend! We have gone here 3 times now, and it gets better each time. We were greeted wonderfully for our anniversary celebration, and our waitress Jackie was amazing! Food was delicious! Only thing that wasn’t wonderful was the parking situation, but definitely worth that little nuisance. Everything on menu has been great. Oyster shooters for an appetizer is our favorite!
