Jim BuckleyDecember 17, 2011The ultimate is "old Florida" restaurants... get a table under the banyan trees and go after dark... the white lights in the trees are great
Everything is fantastic but I am partial to anything that involves Grouper! Make sure you see Chelsea, she is a rockstar!
Ron HeusserJune 26, 2022Farm salad, Kung Pao Avocado, Cheesy Grits, and Southern Squash Casserole was excellent. The steamer pot was good, but on the small side for 2 people.
Tyler HerringAugust 7, 2014One of my favorite spots for seafood, but the real gem on the menu...Mar Vista Tater Tots!!!- They recently remodeled the restaurant and upgraded the menu. Everything is fresh and tasty. The water views are impressive.
Benjamin LodiApril 6, 2015Lovely al fresco dining amongst the trees. Great for a late lunch or early dinner in the shade.
Lynn SelbyNovember 9, 2015Scallops and bacon appetizer is delish! The Chillean Sea Bass is the fabulous! Pricy but good!
Linda McDonoughFebruary 12, 2013Great food, service, and awesome view under the trees overlooking the water. Wonderful way to spend the day with hubby!
Tenacious BrewhouseJanuary 26, 2020One of our all time favorites. Dock the boat and have a beer and great food.
Cheryl GraffMarch 5, 2013Try and get here early to get a great view of the water and boats while you eat
RodneyJune 18, 2011The best grouper Reuben. Try substituting cole slaw for the sauerkraut for a change of pace.- Richard BallerandApril 6, 2013Eat under the banyan trees good scallops roumaki and grouper quesadillas
- Laura GagneSeptember 10, 2011The best shrimp I have ever had....bud and old bay peel and eat! Awesome!
Jay McMullanMarch 29, 2012The red curry sea bass was amazing. Bummed I'm driving and can't go malibu bucket.
Amy St HartFebruary 19, 2011Great food , great bartender , skip the outdoor patio and eat inside to save time !
Taylor ViparinaSeptember 18, 2013Great service, beautiful location, and wonderful food. We split the scallops mar vista and crab cake sandwich. Delicious! Sit outside if the weather permits.
Used to have one of the best dog-friendly outdoor areas around, now they do not allow dogs. Such a shame, we loved coming here with our pup.
