3cheeses pressed on ciabatta bread - also had a few heirloom tomatoes in there - chips and hash browns.
Susan M.

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.

Breakfast Americano

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.

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.

Americano breakfast

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.

We've been really impressed with the Hidden Treasure Pub at Harbor Village…read more Food is great and awesome service. We like the fire out tables. You can eat and have some nice drinks while the kids swim. All the servers are great but Amanda is really a lot of fun and great at taking care of us. Highly recommend

While hanging out at the lighthouse, we got hungry. I'm not sure if the lighthouse made us hungry…read moreor if blasting Wind Walker's album 'What if I Break' on the way there made us hungry. (seeing them in May-excite!) I don't think this place is associated with the lighthouse but it's conveniently located and easy to walk across the street to. They have indoor and outdoor seating so depending on the weather-your preference, you can still enjoy. Any time there's food and a large body of water close by, it's sure to be a good time. They do have a bird. He seemed to be a regular because everyone knew about him and servers laughed about him. I heard one guy say that they sell some kind of shrimp there to feed him so I suspect that's why he has created his home. They probably can't even kick him out. I wanted oysters. I needed them. Not the best I've had but they were good and didn't make me sick so a win. Had I died from them,(Wind Walkers-"Just be sure when you leave, you leave me in a body bag"). At this particular moment, I wasn't sure if they'd be enough so I did order the Island Pork Wrap - key lime pork ribeye, rice, pineapple, mango, peppers, and onions. It was good but a bit heavy. I ate half of it and took the other half. I saw rice, pineapple, mango and needed it. The pork was the lacking part. My wife had the same thing but the bowl version. She ate all of it. We did order the fried green tomatoes as well. Delicious as most green tomatoes are. I'd certainly visit this place again. They had a large menu/huge variety. The atmosphere was good. The food was good(at least ours was). The service was absent at times but it might just be one of those places where you have to flag someone down. It was middle of the day on a Wednesday so it wasn't that busy but it did seem like it took our meal a while to be brought out. Not a big deal because we were killing time anyway but something to keep in mind if you have somewhere to be. I wish I could apply this lyric to the place: "Even when I'm cold, I will love so loud", but I can't. I still liked it though. If you're hungry, this place will satisfy.

Been here several times for dinner and this was the first experience where I really felt it…read moredeserved a full 5 stars! This restaurant leans a little pricy for the type of food, however, I did find the prices worth it based on quality. I went with a group of 6 and we sat at a nice round table which made it easy to enjoy the whole group. Our server was fantastic and made excellent recommendations for dinner. Everything was good, but the call out by far, was the braised oxtail. We ordered this entree as an appetizer for all of us to share and it comes on top of a cheesy arepa. We were practically fighting over it LOL. For dinner, my date and I shared the burger and rabbit special. Both were very solid picks. After dinner, we popped upstairs to their speak easy for a couple drinks before heading home. The Spott is a great 'spot' to enjoy on canal. Recommend!

This is such a vibe in NSB. You can chill downstairs or go upstairs for a little swanky lounge…read moreexperience. I've only had dinner here once, but it was surprisingly good. I really thought it was going to be simple "bar food" but it was solid. Not going to be the best meal of your life, but it was good. I LOVE the upstairs. It's cozy and you have the option to sit at the bar, tables or couches. The cocktails are amazing and it's just such a unique experience for NSB. Bartenders and servers are attentive and nice. Worth stopping in!

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.

When visiting New Smyrna and you want to check out a restaurant and have a great experience every…read moreone wants to tell you about the two spots almost next door to each other. And they are good but they are the most popular and fill up fast so the wait the tends to be un-reasonable and borderline on bearable. Dinner is not meant to be eaten that early just to avoid the crowds. At RT you CAN get a reservation and the staff is friendly, kind & attentive. I am the type to never order anything on the "Chef's special menu" but the ambience was so warm and inviting, I lost my head a little-bit. I'm glad we did we order the Crustini and it was next level. I thought I was eating on south beach for a moment. Flavors were intense, but not overpowering & it all complemented one another. If you are there make sure you try this appetizer. The bread for the Crustini was fresh not overly hard or stale. The main course I had was perfect. I had the steak au poivre. The sear on the meat was spot on and the sauce was not overly peppery. It let the steak do its job with the seared crust. Chefs veggies were good and the red bliss mash was velvet, smooth. The cocktails here also are amazing! I'm not just saying that my wife order something called the beatnik. You can taste the fresh beet juice. You can tell there was somebody back there pressing them freash. You know how beets usually stains your teeth? This did not! Overall fabulous experience. We even took our kids here and they had excellent choices for kids menu. Very happy over all. We did not try dessert. However we notice on the menu they support local dessert shops in the area with their offerings. Next time we go back we will definitely try them. I hope you found this helpful buen provecho everyone

We've been here twice now so I can confidently say it's consistently good!…read more Both visits we got the wings which come out nice and crispy - the sauces are pretty standard and their hottest doesn't even turn my head, but the goon sauce is very flavorful so it's still a solid wing option. They do a good burger, charred just right and will actually cook medium rare if you order it! The Caesar was slightly over dressed but the blackened mahi I got on top was cooked expertly and not too salty. The clam chowder is well balanced I like a lot of places where it's so thick your spoon stands up or the broth is nothing but thickened milk with no flavor. Potato chunks were a big big but clams were there so I was happy. We've gone early lunchtime on weekends both times and it's been fairly quiet with very attentive servers. The decor is nautical but clean and not cheesy and the tables and booths are comfortable.

Terrible burgers & fries! Got there for lunch 30 minutes after they opened on Saturday. Ordered a…read moremushroom Swiss burger medium. Received a very well done bland not fresh ground beef (frozen previously) that had zero flavor. Couldn't taste the miniscule cheese nor the 5 tiny mushrooms. Wife got wings (delicious) & a basket of fries for $5. All our fries (4 of us, 3 ordered burgers same experience) were not fresh, old oil etc. How is this even possible 30 minutes after opening. Go for the wings only. Skip burgers & fries. The worst expensive burger & fries ever eaten in Florida.
