    Pretzel bites and cheese sauce
    Bill K.

    Interesting complex of four tiki bar type restaurants at Sunset Harbor Marina. All four seem to share the same waterfront blading as well as the post Ian built thatched Palapa. We entered from the parking lot through a dimly lit bar and made our way to the rear. We took an empty table close to the walkway by the marina, which is just off the Caloosahatchee. We had to move. Someone was smoking a big old cigar and we were down wind. We ordered a couple of apps, onion rings, and pretzel bites with Bavarian cheddar. The pretzel bites were overcooked and the cheddar cheese was way too thin. Onion rings were OK but also slightly overcooked. Draft beer and margarita were very good. We finished sharing a chicken sandwich wrap, which was OK. There was a great breeze coming through the Palapa and we were very comfortable on a hot day. The naughty parrot next-door seem to have a much bigger crowd. My three star rating is based more on ambience than food. Our waitress was very good as were the drinks and that's all I will expect whenever we go back

    My husband and I went here for the first time on 4/22. The atmosphere is great. We both ordered the same mixed drink (I can not remember the name) but it was excellent and very well made. Our waiter explained that there was only one cook on staff that evening and food was coming out a little slow. We said we didn't mind at all. I ordered "Walk The Plank", which is a blackened Mahi dish. My husband ordered the Jamaican Jerk Mahi sandwich with a side of load fries. He also ordered the pretzel bites with cheese dip for an appetizer to share. The pretzel bites and cheese dip came out within ten minutes, pretty hot but nothing to be excited about. We have had better and worse. Just typical bar appetizer. Well then the wait began...like I said we weren't in a rush. We got there at about 6:15pm. About 7:45pm, my husband's sandwich comes out. Notice I said my husband's sandwich. The waiter looks at me asked if something was wrong. Ummm, yes where is my entree? I don't have one for you Ma'am. Did you order something? Mind you this wasn't a runner or a different server BUT the same waiter who took our orders!!! He proceeds to tell me he will see if something is in the window or he can put in order for me. I asked him to check. He came back and said there was nothing. Then proceeded to say he would take it off our bill!!!! I would hope so!!! I had no dinner!!! You would think a manager would have come by at some point to at least apologize for the inconvenience. No manager even stopped by our table. Our bill was still over $50.00. Will we go back? Possibly but I definitely will make sure the staff puts my order in!!! My husband said his sandwich was good. I hope you found some humor in this. But seriously, make sure your is completely put into the kitchen staff!! The place was semi busy not slammed it still should not have taken over an hour to get food out.

    Great location. We frequent a restaurant in this marina and decided to try this tavern. We were not disappointed. The food was exactly as we expected and was delicious. The ambience is very coastal and right on the water. The service was lacking huge. It was probably 30 minutes before we were even served her first drink. I don't blame the server, it's hard to find people these days to work so I'm sure they're short staffed. Would definitely try it out if you're in the area.

    Amazing spot for a cold beer and good food. Service was great it's definitely a dive but food was great and so were the drinks. Great views and great vibes. Very cool spot for brews views and food.

    Had to eat my coleslaw with a straw. No silverware! Asked the server and she never came back!

    Too many flies and lots of dirty ash trays and many people smoking when we went there. It was hard to get someone to wait on us.

    Good food and Blackbeards punch is a must! Great spot to float to and have an appetizer.

    A MUST when I'm in Punta Gorda!…read more My friend moved to Punta Gorda a couple of years ago. I've visited her 3 times, and we make sure to come here every time I'm in town. The bar/restaurant is located right on the water with great views! The parking lot is also the same lot used by the adjacent hotel, so it can sometimes be hard to find a park, depending on the day and time. It's a mixture of great outdoor spaces as well as covered spaces. There's also a private event space that's really nice as well. I've been at night as well as during the day and have enjoyed every experience. The staff is friendly and great! I even fell, I mean face-planted, one evening, and the staff made sure to check on me and see if I needed medical attention. The menu is pretty straightforward, and the bar is your basic bar. They have a drink menu, but a full bar as well. Everything is also well-priced. I haven't ordered food, so I can't give a review of the food. I will definitely be back on my next visit to PG!

    Last time I ate there I paid $25 for "VIP" seating in front of the stage. I got there at 6:30, an…read morehour before the show started and the two waitresses blew me off completely. I had to go to the bar to order food and drinks. Well ... I made the mistake of waiting a half hour before going to the bar and instead of being completely dead with no wait the kitchen was slammed by the time they got my order. I didn't get my food until I complained to the manager 2 hours later and the burger was a hockey puck because it had been sitting under the heat lamp for WAY too long plus it had more salt than ketchup on it. The manager tried making excuses until I told him, "If your waitresses would gave done their jobs two hours ago we wouldn't be having this conversation." I have gone back since then, but I stopped buying the VIP tickets and I stopped eating food there. I just enjoy the music and buy a drink or two. They've easily lost $500 from me because the manager didn't say, "I'm sorry" and make sure that I got a hot, fresh meal that was cooked correctly that night. The location is beautiful. The management is second rate at best.

    We've heard good things about the Nautilus Parrot Oasis. Stopped in after a day at the beach. There…read morewas plenty of seating (you just go in and find a seat and your server will be right with you). About a minute after sitting down our server came over. We mentioned that it was our first time there. She did a great job explaining everything and made very good suggestions. We ordered the grouper bites with onion rings and wings, naked with the Ti chili sauce on the side. Drinks came quickly as did our food. It came out hot and the grouper bites were excellent as were the onion rings that were cooked to perfection. You get 8 nice size wings and they were also cooked to perfection. Our server checked on us often and took excellent care of us. There was live music starting when we got there. A fellow playing an electric ukulele and keyboard pulse the harmonica and was very talented and engaging. We had a fun time. Only one thing I would say is that it's right by highway 41 so it can get a little noisy if you sit on that side of the restaurant. Other than that great experience for us. Glad we stopped!

I mean, you have frozen drinks on the menu which I would assume would be much harder to make. From the bar, we spotted a table away from the smoke smell and with full view of the show. No one came back ever to see if we wanted a drink until we asked the bartender for another round. She said we had to order from a server, ok fine. Finally found a server, and had to debate where our initial drinks came from. Odd! Our second round was better than the first. Would only go back for music.
