About the restaurant

Linx Tavern is the restaurant attached to the Golf Course at Ocean Edge. Ocean Edge is a gorgeous luxury resort situated right on the coast. This is fantastic for diners because they can hear the tide come in as they dine out on the Tavern's spacious outdoor patio. The good news is that Linx is available for the general public as well as those staying at the resort. Linx features an international menu with dishes taking inspiration from every corner of the globe.

Paulina was our server with others assisting. Half our party were not frequent Mexican food eaters and struggled with the small plate menu but with guidance our server got everybody something they liked and portioned the selections well. One guest did not want anything spicy but really preferred food with little or no spice (hard for this type of small bites restaurant focusing on flavor bomb dishes). Alas, between the servers, owner, and chef, they replaced her meal with an off menu squid ink paella which was delicious (we all had a taste). The service and care really made for a nice evening.

The food and service is very good. My wife and I keep asking them to put in Ghost Tequila so we can drink Spicy Margaritas but they have not bought the brand. The ghost pepper is from India. Hopefully they but the brand this week from MS Walker.

What a unique and tasty experience! Each offering on the vegetarian platter was distinctly flavored and enjoyable. And the cocktails were tasty as well. We’ll be back when we visit the area again!

Great food, with a large, varied menu in a fun, busy atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly staff. One meal (pancakes) was not served initially to our party of nine and finally came when many were a good ways into their meal. That was pretty frustrating, but otherwise a great place.

Such a great experience! Staff was very helpful, kind, and attentive. Got a clambake and the scallop bucatini, and both were amazing. They did great checking which items were gluten-free, and the food was some of the best we encountered on our trip. Would highly recommend the food, servers, and ambience!
