If you’re a sun lover, come enjoy the views from The Deck, where you can watch boats pass by and various wildlife in the air and the sea. Or, if you prefer more shade, then enjoy the tiki-hut seating.

The food here is a delicious blend of southern favorites paired with Caribbean treats. Fish tacos, but why not a side of red beans and rice?!

But seafood lovers can certainly find solace in this menu. Try the Smoked Tuna Dip, the Key Largo Shrimp, the Seafood Gumbo, or the Fish Po’Boys.
