    I enjoyed the location of this sand bar and bistro right on ponce inlet, can't get better than that! We also saw two sea turtles feeding in the water. The dishs was on the higher end but I thought was worth the extra cost. I got their sea bass with truffle goat mash I believe was the name, the filet was huge and tasted devine. Also got one of their salads for an appetizer to hold me through their evening courses and my son got this personal cheese pizza. Pics here for reference. I think they hold live music here although since I came mid afternoon there wasn't much going on yet.

    This place is such a hidden gem! The pancakes here are incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. It's a great spot for breakfast or lunch, and you can even pull your boat up to the dock. Really great atmosphere. Staff were very friendly as well!

    We were a little concerned when we arrived because the parking was empty, and it was very quiet and hidden away. But it was fortunate that we did. The staff was very friendly, and constantly checking in on us. The breakfast portions are huge and everything we had was delicious. Even when we first sat down that they bought us a giant mug of delicious coffee. It is right off some boat docks and even though it looks a little cluttered and busy, we were able to have enough of a view that we saw so much wildlife and even a pod of the dolphins. We will definitely be back to this place.

    Beautiful day to eat by the water - right across the street from the Ponce Lighthouse. Excellent service, a varied menu - breakfast, brunch, lunch - and wonderful, large coffee, cappuccino, latte. We ordered the grilled cheese, grilled ham and cheese, and a side of the hash browns. All delicious! We'll go back to try some other offerings, but I don't know how we could improve on today.

    There is only outside seating so it can be hot. The coffee, which is served in a large cappuccino cup, is very good and not at all bitter. The iced tea which comes in a plastic glass is nice too. Try the Caprese Avocado Toast with egg. Yum. The Breakfast Americano comes with eggs, multi grain artisan bread, home fries and pepper bacon.

    Our 2nd visit and it was another 5 Star, Homerun experience! This place is amazing whether for brunch/lunch or dinner on weekends. We did a Saturday nite on the water, Sam was our outstanding server. We had the Beef Wellington, I don't think you'll find this type of meal anywhere else in Volusia County. Chef Steve is amazing! He is creative, motivated and works to make your dining experience exceptional! Thanks to Kaitlyn and team for the outstanding ambiance and customer service!

    Cute restaurant by the water, great ambiance. I ordered the soft crab breaded BLT, it was delicious! After eating one, I wanted another. Very unique, memorable, will visit again.

    This place is fantastic all around! Hands down the best food in the area for breakfast/brunch. Great service, great location, relaxed atmosphere, and -- if you are coming from the water -- lots of rooms for docking.

    I might be obsessed with this place. We were in town for a music festival and we needed a dog…read morefriendly brunch place. We also forgot it was Mother's Day, so we had about an hour wait as a walk up, but this place was very much worth it. Once we got the text, we came back and were shown to the spacious outdoor area on the first floor with our pups. They brought the pups a water bowl, and it was nicely shaded so we were all comfortable. I loved the decoration in there, it was secluded from the street but still very open but comfortably shaded. Everyone who worked here was very nice and the service was great from start to finish. I got the brisket hash, which was delicious. The eggs were cooked to a perfect over medium (at my request). The third wave house smoked brisket is worthy of hype for sure. My companion got the shrimp scramble, and we ended up asking if it was normal for the shrimp to be slightly translucent, which it apparently is for rock shrimp! Both entrees were excellent. I also got a bloody Mary which was amazing. Overall I have no notes for this place. Service? Great. Vibes? Great. Food? Great. I'd definitely stop by here again for brunch, or I'd love to try out their dinner menu too!

    The good: The ambiance was wonderful outside. Lively atmosphere and fun vibe…read more The octopus dish was absolutely delicious. It was very tender which can be hard to get right. The service was good as well. The okay: we ordered the salmon dish rare and it came out medium. The sauce with it was very bland. The salmon was unseasoned and the quantity of rice to veggies/fish was off. There was only one dessert option and it was just okay as well. For the price point, unfortunately we expect a bit more.

    I live in New Jersey but my daughter lives in New Smyrna Beach, as does my best friend. This place…read morewas recommended to me 2 years ago while visiting. Every time I am in town I eat here at least 2 times, if not more. Amazing space, positive and happy employees, amazing service. My most recent visit was 5/24/26. Our server was Kaley and what a doll! On her game the entire time we were dining. We had great conversations with her and she was professional and attentive. She recognized us from prior visits and acknowledged that, which is a sign of true professionalism. The food is always enjoyable. I had a lobster roll on this day and it was great. Will always come here while in New Smyrna Beach. As a matter of fact, my daughter will be celebrating a huge life moment here at the end of June, her choice. It's going to be epic and another fabulous time will be had by all. Cannot wait!!!

    Visited on an early Thursday evening and this place was busy with an hour wait. I'm not sure if…read morethis is the typical wait because there was an event happening on the street. We sat at the outdoor bar ordered some happy hour drinks which they offer $5 margaritas and $6 house wines all day, every day. Nick was extremely tentative and even provided us with waters without us having to request it. The $6 wine pours come in a large sized glass and the size pour was decent! Once seated at our table we were served by Bri and she made some good recommendations. For apps we had the Cuban candy as an app and it was a huge hit at our table. On Thursdays they do a "prime rib special" which isn't really a special as far as pricing instead it is more so a special that is offered only on Thursdays for $44. 2 people from my party ordered it and they were satisfied. I ordered the chimichurri chicken sandwich which is a new menu item. The portion size of the chicken was good, however, the chimichurri / sauce seemed to lack. Also I wasn't a huge fan of their house sweet potato chips, they weren't bad, they were just okay, however, I would opt to have French fries next time. As far as ambiance, the inside is quite small which I got worried about sound and talking amongst my party but that wasn't an issue. They don't seem to take reservations unless your party is of 6 or more.
