    A delicious dinner with great friends!
    Laura P.

    This place is amazing! Went again tonight with all my childhood girlfriends and what a special night. Food was exceptional. Service amazing. We loved getting to sit at Lena's table! And getting to meet the chef. What a gem of a place in JUP.

    We were sat in the cafe section which is next to the restaurant. There was no restroom here and only 4 small tables. The table was set beautifully with nice napkin ring holders. We ordered calamari and meatballs as our app and neither knocked our socks off. The meatballs needed more sauce / flavor. The calamari does come with peppers. We got the branzino special and that was the only thing special about it. Our waiter was amazing and very friendly. The best thing we had all night were the cookies. This is not an old school red sauce Italian type place if that is what you are looking for. Overall I'm not sure we would return because it's not our style.

    Delicious sandwich

    Had lunch at the Bakery/Deli today. My daughter in law is from Italy. She said the food was even better than being home. They even had MoleCola which is from her home town, Torino. We had sandwiches & deserts that were incredible. Very authentic. Service was also excellent as we at inside at 1 of their 2 tables. Very authentic.

    2nd time there and it was . The service from Tyler was excellent and the owner/chef and his wife treated us like gold in the private room. We did family style and everything was awesome. Food was so good.

Fortunately, the Square Grouper Tiki Bar was just a few steps away from where we boarded the boat. We split an order of coconut shrimp with sweet-and-sour sauce, along with a "Chubby Cuban" sandwich (I can relate ). The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the Cuban was well made and satisfying. The fresh-hot fries were crispy and a perfect pairing with a tasty post-dive meal. To complete the recovery process, we washed it all down with a couple of ice-cold bottled beers while soaking up the laid-back waterfront atmosphere and some live music. Friendly service, good food, cold drinks, and an ideal location for divers, anglers, and anyone looking to enjoy a little slice of Jupiter. By the time we left, we were refreshed, recharged, and ready for our next adventure... A nap. Can't wait to come back!

The meet up place was easy to find, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We only had 10 people on our cruise so it took the smaller of the two boats which I don't think made much difference for the overall experience, but was nice to have the smaller group of 10. The tour went by the lighthouse and north of the inland waterway past Jupiter Island, with our helpful captain, pointing out many of the celebrity homes along the way. It was a lovely way to spend a couple hours on the water and the all you can drink beers and seltzers didn't hurt, lol! Please note if the tour you've signed up for doesn't have at least six people you will be moved to another tour, which is what happened to us and we didn't realize we were only getting a two hour tour when we had paid for a three hour tour until it had already started. Seems like there was a little bit of disconnect in the information sharing, but we still had an excellent experience and would definitely come again when visiting the area.

This is a great idea for taking the out of towers friends and family. If you have a big enough group of people, the price isn't so bad. If you have a smaller group I would suggest getting the individual tickets. It was a fun day in the water.

Sat quick right on the water covered seating so the sun wasn't beating on us. All the Waitresses were quick and attentive covering for one another. Drinks and apps came out fast. The Gator bites were great highly recommend if you've never had gator before these were delicious with the pickled red onions and banana peppers. The Juice of the gods and Cat 5 were both spot on with happy hour and margaritas Monday who could complain. The meals followed and didn't disappoint. The catch of the day was golden tile fish with the macadamia coconut crust. Flaky and delicious with a mango salsa. Beans and rice with green beans all very filling. I got the Cubano sandwich or fat Cuban as they call it. Was perfect blend of salty pork with the acid of the pickle and creamy cheese melted and toasted. Would've preferred fries with it but didn't see them on the sides as an option, the chips were good as well. Overall great experience worth bringing the family and enjoying the beautiful setting

For drinks and fun you absolutely cannot go wrong, and they keep the calendar packed with live music and events. Unfortunately food was just so-so (which is to be expected at a place like this). We tried the fried shrimp and chicken nachos, and while they weren't bad they also just weren't that good (if that makes sense). My kids quesadillas also came with rice which was super hard. I'd definitely come back again for some drinks and would probably just eat elsewhere.
