My bf ordered cheese grits and eggs Benedict. While he was having the eggs Benedict, he found an egg shell inside and he chose not to continue eating it. Overall, breakfast was okay. One thing that I would say is a plus is that they are located on the beach so you can eat under the pavilion area or take your breakfast to go. Service was fine. You order at the window and then they give you a number to place at the table and they bring your food out.

I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting.

Even my husband who isn't a picky eater said his tacos were worse than Taco Bell. We were there early so nothing was rushed or crowded. Later, I tried the food at home, thinking maybe I wasn't in the mood at lunchtime. Nope. Food is really awful. It's like they just open cans & put the food in the microwave to heat it up. Now, I know things on AMI are expensive but $65 for 2 tacos, 2 enchiladas, 2 regular ice teas, & side of queso. Be warned-don't stop here. For $65, I could've gone to Bonefish & had a great lunch.

Upon arrival we opted to sit inside, due to there being a wait for the patio. A spacious booth right across from the kitchen ended up being just fine. More scenic if you sit outside, though. The Ahi Tuna Nachos (substantial portion), Fried Green Tomatoes (perfectly seasoned), and potato salad side (slightly sweet) were all delicious. I wouldn't order the Bacon Wrapped Scallops again, though, simply because I don't think what you get is worth the price. I had to go with one of their "Catch of the Day" options since the seafood is locally sourced. Only wish I had ordered the tripletail grilled rather than blackened so I could truly appreciate the pure flavor of the filet, but it was still really good. Our server was a pro, providing worthwhile recommendations, attentive service and a cheery disposition. The entire experience was sublime.

I recently visited this charming breakfast cafe, and it was a delightful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we tried had a fresh, comforting vibe. The biscuits were a standout - perfectly flaky, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth good. They paired so well with the gravy, making it a true indulgence. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. If you're in the mood for a cozy, tasty breakfast, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

The menu is very extensive and it's so nice they serve breakfast and lunch. We waited a bit for service, but it gave us time to look over the menu. I settled on a club sandwich with coleslaw. Different than most clubs in that it was served in two pieces, not four, had only turkey but no cheese. The bread was toasted a bit too much as it kept falling apart when I was eating. The coleslaw was super chunky so not really something I enjoyed. The sandwich was tasty, but should really just be a Turkey sandwich.

Had I been told that they were out of pears I would not have ordered it. Once I discovered that the pears were missing I asked for more dates and pine nuts, and that made it better. The goat cheese was just one big blob of cheese, and it would have been much better had it been crumbles. I asked for the dressing to be on the side, and it's a good thing that I did. I was there with a group of ladies and all of the other ladies that got the same salad didn't get the dressing on the side and they wish they had. This will not keep me from returning, as there are lots of interesting items on the menu. This particular salad unfortunately was not one of them. At least not on the day that I visited.
