Menu favorites are the crab and cheese dip and shrimp baskets. I've tried the shrimp both blackened and boom boom style and it's so good! I also recommend the local green beans as a side.

The first time it took the manager almost 20minutes to correct our bill. The server was very nice and said he was giving us an extra discount. He gave us an extra $1.... The second time was much quicker but clearly an issue with their POS system OR staff training OR they need to reprint the HH menus. Happy hour deals are good and the outside patio on the water is nice. Live music was also great! The only food we thought was good was the wings. Grouper Dinner was sad for the price. Fish Tacos were like gringo tacos. The side mango salsa was not enough. Wedge Salad had too much dressing would recommend getting it on the side.

Friendly staff and servers are eager to grab you whatever it is that wets your whistle. The large tiki seats a good number of people both at the bar and at tables. They have a variety of sizes to accommodate smaller or larger parties. Outside of the thatched roof tropical bar area lies a large patio along the docks of the canal holding tables with umbrellas. They had 3-man live band playing music while we were there. Loud enough to enjoy but not so much that you couldn't talk. The food all looked really good. We ordered fish bites. My only complaint. They're made with Swai. It's an imported fish from Asia. A type of catfish that is farmed. Ehhh. If I had known that before ordering I probably my would not have. I'd rather see local fish or at least fish from the USA. Especially being in a huge fishing town in SW FL. Overall, we had a very nice time at this chill decent car and I highly suggest you go try it for a cold beer.

It's a nice modern take on boring pool bar eats and you can order up solid menu highlights of the day. My Tuna Tacos were very good and meaty with a subtle touch of heat and Grouper Sandwich, was also very tasty. We tried to enjoy the Tropical (slushy) Cocktails, but Bartenders are more into theatrics than anything else- they're sweet and fruity......and that's it. Coconuts' has a nice scene with good island rhythms that just makes you wanna linger. Prices are decent and felt, were comparable to some restaurants on the island. I just think for those weak slushy things, the price wasn't worth it. But do enjoy taking that poolside or Beach swim break for only a good bite to eat.

The place is casual, rustic, and come as you are. Got our drinks pdq. We decided to share a combo pot. But after some soup. Got the conch chowder. It came in a large, pretty plastic conch "shell". It was slightly spicy, but not much. In fact, there's hot sauces on the table if you need more heat. There was a nice amount of ground conch pieces in a tasty tomato based broth. It was big enough to share, btw. Then we got their combo steamed pot -- 1 dozen clams and 1 dozen oysters. This takes awhile to cook as we knew it would. So if you get one of these, order soup or an app while you're waiting. The clams are the cedar key ones. Small but tasty. We didn't use the melted butter, but asked for cocktail sauce instead. The oysters -- which you have to shuck with the provided knives -- were wonderful! I'd probably get all oysters next time. In the bottom of the pot are celery and onions which you can also eat. So glad we got to come here and enjoy lunch. We will be back next time on island.

But in spite of that, the sunset and water views are some of the best around (check out my pics and their background views). The service was fairly prompt. We visited here as a "chill" place for watching the sunset, dolphins (each day they hung out at the new dock below) and the channel boating activity. You can see our beverages: refreshing and cold, see pics, perfect for Florida weather. The salads were fresh and vibrant. The Carnival on flat bread was tasty. The Angus Burger with cheese, hit the spot, as did the crisscross fries - they were very crunchy. The Street Tacos were the hit. They were larger than traditional street tacos and the flavored red pepper aioli added the rich punch to the avocado and blackened Mahi Mahi. This was a good low vibe, sunset watching location.
