About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    This restaurant is under-staffed. Not enough wait staff when large parties had reservations. I made a reservation a week in advance and expected better service from Gulfstream with 4.7 rating. The kitchen messed up an order. The waitress messed up our wine bottle. We waited 20 minutes after our meal before she showed up to close out our check. High price for bad service and less than stellar food.

    Wait staff used to wear dress clothes and now wear jeans which makes it feel more casual. No frozen drinks here anymore, which is sad. They used to make a great pina colada.

    My husband and I celebrated our 38th anniversary at Gulfstream Cafe and we absolutely loved it. The hostess greeted us with a Happy Anniversary wish and once we were at the table we were surprised to see little confetti hearts sprinkled on our table. Our server “ Josh “ was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to our needs. He treated us to a champagne toast and really made our dinner experience memorable. The food was delicious! My husband loved the seafood platter with baked potato and my salmon was cooked perfectly. One of the managers visited our table to make sure that we were having a nice experience and he was very friendly. Gulfstream Cafe is also a beautiful place to take pictures so we always get great pictures. I definitely recommend making a reservation because the restaurant is so popular year round.

    As usual the food was excellent. For some reason tonight the grouper franchise was really good. We went early so the parking was good. That’s the only drawback for me. Otherwise it would be a monthly stop.
