The view is spectacular. The food is rather pricey but, there are options for a healthy lunch. Also, the Chicken sandwich with avocado and pineapple was enjoyed by my husband. The Caesar Salad with fish added for added price was very good. We made a huge mistake ordering the fried clams. Heavily breaded large strips of rubbery clams for about 17.00 is a definite no go. Wait staff were pleasant but, for the price the meals we had were not worth the wonderful view.

When we arrived, they told us that we would have to wait for thirty minutes for a table outside. Instead we could sit inside in a “hotel lobby bar area.” They clearly seated people who had not made reservations and did not even honor or pay attention to reservations made on OpenTable. I would not return.

Sitting on the deck overlooking the pool- filled with screaming children - far too noisy. Ordered trout which arrived filled with bones and was tasteless. Sent it back and got a delicious well prepared hamburger. Chairs are too low for the outside tables. Need a higher straight back seat. Our waiter was very good.

Made a reservation through open table and requested outdoor seating. When we arrived we were told if we wanted to sit outside it would be an additional 20-30 minute wait. So we waited since that was the primary reason we came. Sat at the bar and had drinks and they were good. Did get a table after about 20 minutes and it was a beautiful evening so worth waiting on. We were planning on order the sushi as theirs is excellent but unfortunately the sushi chef had an emergency and had to leave so they weren’t serving it and once again we were disappointed. The food we had off the menu in the past was a hit or miss but already there so decided to try again. Our server told us they had just changed the dishes on the menu over that week which sometimes means they are still working through things. We were very pleasantly surprised our food was delicious. Two of us had the blackened fish tacos and the others had the grouper. Everyone was pleased. Service was good and we will return next year.

There was chaos surrounding a new menu. The waitstaff appeared not to have been adequately briefed on it. Since the waitstaff was taking orders on paper, it appeared that the new menu was not in the computer. There were problems with what came out of the kitchen. The last time we ate there everything went smoothly so with time the current problems will likely get ironed out, but we will not be eating there again for a while.

Very good food. Very terrible service. Our entrees were very good. That saved our review from a 1 star rating. The service, for whatever reason was an exercise in conscientious neglect. After we had been seated for a while, our waiter came by and asked us for our orders. He never went over any items or features on the menu, just took our order and left. We did not see him again until we were just finishing our meal and asked if we wanted another cocktail. We would have ordered one had he come by considerably earlier during the course of our dining. We waited at least a half an hour for our entrees and never got so much as a piece of bread. Our waiter never stopped by to let us know the status of our order. He never asked us if we wanted desert. He simply left the check with us and never asked us how our meals were or how we enjoyed our dinner. We wanted to pay our bill and leave but after 15 minutes of waiting for him to come back and pick up our payment, my wife finally got up and tracked down the hostess to come over and take our payment. I have never left a seriously bad review before. Quite the contrary. The night before we were at another restaurant and I gave them a superlative review. On a positive note, we sat at the bar before we were seated for dinner and our bartender, Andre, served us the best margaritas we have ever had. If you go there, you will be happy with the food and drinks. The exceptionally poor service we received left a bad taste in our mouths.

I waffled between giving Sea Breeze an overall rating of 3 and 4. I opted for 3 because GOOD is the best descriptor. It is in a large resort complex several miles from where we are staying. It is the more casual of the two restaurants. Parking was not a problem. We enjoyed our food. The burger (perhaps called the 'Sea Breeze' or 'Surf...') with avocado and a fried egg was delicious and came with plenty of fries. It was a bit disappointing that with only three desserts on the menu they were out of one and according to our server had been since the previous day. If you eat on the porch, try to be seated to the left as you go out onto it. There seemed to be a considerable amount of foot traffic passing by the tables to the right going to and from ??? This is a casual suggestion; I definitely would not turn down a table to the right. A woman at the next table kept sneaking puffs on some sort of not-so-smokeless cigarette. This is just an observation since the smoke did not bother us. [NOTE: This lack of action by the staff presumes both that they spotted it which seems likely but not certain and that Florida law prohibits it.] Bottom line - We are going there for dinner again next week, taking friends with us.

A very disappointing dining experience. We arrived for an earlier dinner when the place was half empty. The server was very attentive and the bartender made excellent drinks. Wine however, was served in smallish cordial type heavy glasses which ruined any nose and flavor. They do not have proper wine glasses yet gave higher end wines on the menu. The 2 fish dishes were a disaster. Both were snapper. One grilled and the other pistachio encrusted. Both severel overcooked and dry. The vegetables, were well prepared, asparagus and cauliflower. The chicken dish was done well and not dry. We did not attempt dessert. The high star rating on Open Table was not justified and we will not return. We know the island well and will stick with other places. This was a special occasion dining for us in celebration of my birthday. This was put in the reservation yet no mention was made by the staff of happy birthday or any acknowledgment of that festivity. The resort it is in is beautiful the setting was absolutely lovely the food, very lacking

Fine restaurant. A lot of children and we were a couple so a little overwhelming but not to the point that we wouldn’t come again.
