    Bubbles set the tone inside

    Location is sublime - literally on the beach, and they've made the most of the view even from the indoor seats. They care for guests with a practiced pace, no rushing. Drinks and appetizers are allowed to be savored before ordering the main course. And let's talk about the food. Come hungry! Pricing is reasonable, and our party of 9 enjoyed every single thing. The stars were smoked whitefish dip app, and oven-baked Chilean sea bass with Parmesan polenta. Finish it with coconut cake - it's perfect. Enjoy!

    Yummy food and right next to the beach! We came for breakfast today and had a great time. It took a little while to get the food but it was very crowded.

    Berry Greek Yogurt Crepes

    Dune Deck is where my friends and I go when we want an extra special breakfast on the beach. Hands down, the atmosphere here is upbeat, buzzing with brunch vibes, and an absolutely gorgeous view. The many times that I've been here, the food and drink have always hit just right and the service is quick - even when the place is packed. The berry Greek yogurt crepes are tangy, sweet, crunchy, and all together, a great combination of flavors and textures. There are so many berries - enough for each bite. The granola is the perfect juxtaposition to the soft, thin crepes that are filled with a tangy yogurt. The portion size is more than enough for one person, possibly even two. Unless I'm driving, I always start off my meal with one of their cocktails. My two favorites are their piña colada and bloody Mary. They're both tall, strong, and flavorful - perfect while watching to waves crash into the shore. I would also recommend their spanakopita when it's on their specials. Their Greek omelet is delicious too. This is a great place to bring out of town guests, and the great part about this place besides its food and drink is that you can take a leisurely stroll on the beach after breakfast or brunch and make the day extra special!

    My wife has wanted to come here for some time now and we finally made it in to enjoy Ocean front dining. We walked along the boardwalk, enjoying the ocean and small beach view. We first noted the Ocean facing bar and then were directed to the seating area. Prompt friendly greeting and drink orders placed. I ordered the Tuna Salad Platter, which was not only delicious but artistically presented! I enjoyed my platter of tuna Salad, fresh fruit, RED RIPE tomato, pita, carrot and celery sticks. Definitely worthy of future return visits!

    I've wanted to go here for some time. We'd been to their other place on the west side of the county and everything I'd read about this place, sounded intriguing. We parked in the beach lot and climbed the stairs. We weren't exactly sure where we were going -- as there were no signs saying "restaurant". We found the narrow wooden boardwalk and walked down to the noise of the people. We first saw the bar and their small counter facing the ocean. Then a bit further down the regular entrance to the restaurant itself. There are two basic rooms -- one lower than the other. There are stairs from one up to another and a few more stairs up to the area for the bathrooms. It's not the easiest access. We had a table looking right out at the boardwalk and the ocean. There was a sea breeze. And it was a bit cool until the sun peaked out. The full menu looked appealing. They also had a blackboard of specials. My husband ordered their tuna salad salad. Although my first choices were either a mussel appetizer or a burger, I ordered a BLT sandwich (I spoke recently with Yelp elite Karen N and it's her mom's favorite) and upgraded to sweet potato fries. The salad was beautiful to look at. Colorful and satisfying. A very ripe red tomato stuffed with tuna salad, pita bread wedges, carrots and celery, and and a small bowl of fresh fruit. My sandwich was wonderful. A plethora of bacon, fresh lettuce and ripe tomato with mayo on toast. The sweet potato fries were delicious -- and addictive. This restaurant is unique and enticing -- a ramshackle appearing building perched on the edge of the high dunes with a spectacular ocean view -- and very appetizing food in generous portions. So glad we came. We look forward to returning.

    Croissant  and egg breakfast sandwich and it was huge
    Ilona N.

    Dune Deck Café is that rare breakfast spot that actually lives up to the hype. Yes, there's usually a line, but it moves fast and it's 100% worth it. And let me be clear: this place is on the beach... not "near" the beach. You're literally hearing the waves, feeling the ocean air, and soaking in the kind of views that make you slow down and enjoy your coffee a little longer. The food is great, and the portions are no joke. My egg and croissant sandwich could've easily fed two people. Service is quick and efficient even when they're slammed, and my cappuccino came with a rock sugar stick, which... honestly, that's the real way to a girl's heart. I noticed some people complaining about the birds but this is what it means to eat beach side. Honestly the birds were adorable :-) If you want a beachside breakfast that feels like a mini vacation, Dune Deck is the move.

    My bestie's new place is walking distance to the Lantana Municipal Beach. On a 75 degree Saturday morning, Dune Deck Cafe was slammed packed with a waitlist overflowing onto the boardwalk. Hello, 65 degree Thursday -- and Happy New Year! We came for a Bloody Mary and I tried their gazpacho soup. The Bloody Mary gives you a nice buzz, but could have been a tad more creative with shrimp, sausage, okra, and/or bacon. The gazpacho was delish, it's becoming a rarity to find at a close-by restaurant. Awesome beachside view. This is a relaxing spot to hit up after the beach.

    This is a cute spot for breakfast with great views of the beach. We got the crepes and the pancakes, which were both hearty. It opens at 7 am on the weekends and I recommend getting there early to avoid the heat and to get a view of the ocean. The entire restaurant is outside but they do have fans. Make sure to wear beach shoes and you can walk along the beach after!

    Brooke L.

    Wow, this place was absolutely phenomenal! The location itself is worth checking out, let alone the food. The views make it one of my favorite breakfast spots. We came here on a Friday morning, so we were seated right away. Our waiter was extremely attentive and friendly. Our food was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. I had the egg, bacon, and cheese croissant sandwich with potatoes. I also just had to get a pancake on the side, and I am so glad I did! My husband ordered the fresh catch sandwich with fries. He said it was awesome and rated the coleslaw as top-notch. We can't wait to come back here! There is plenty of pay to park parking down below and the ramp made it easy to walk up with a stroller. We can't wait to bring our family here too!

    Running errands I detoured to The Dune Deck. First, the beer is so cold, your teeth will hurt. Great beer temp. barometer. Breakfast stops at 11:30 during the week, served all day on the weekends. Love their mahi-mahi and other seafood options. Burgers are great too. I love the sound of the waves as I enjoy my meal and views. Prices are great. No co-signer required. They take credit cards now, discounts for cash.

    Fish Taco Special with rice and coleslaw
    Kyle V.

    Stopped in for a late breakfast but they switched to lunch already. They had a few things available all day but we opted for lunch instead. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They had a large board of specials which we both ordered from. I went with the two fish tacos and a side of rice and coleslaw. It was very average at best. I was pretty surprised with the quality considering the high reviews and how much the server spoke highly about the menu, especially the specials. It just lacked a little bit of everything in my eyes. The flavor was missing and the toppings on the taco were just not great. The coleslaw didn't seem fresh and the rice was bland. The portion size was very fair for the price paid and it filled me up. Overall, this seems like a place that you go to for the view and atmosphere. I'd try it again just because of the other high reviews because maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. No complaints on the staff or cleanliness.

    Mahi mahi grilled
    Wayne G.

    Awesome mahi mahi grilled with rice and salad! Beautiful views and awesome service by Jessica! 1/2 pound stone crab claws good but only 3 for 30 Dollars not a good value.

    Grilled calamari
    Alexa F.

    Honestly just came here for the beautiful view but surprised to find the food was equally as amazing. The grilled calamari had amazing flavor. Best I've ever had. Catch of the day was mahi, got it blackened. Big piece of fish and delicious. Fries, salad, and pita bread are yummy. Fish and chips also good and very hot. Portions are huge. Good pricing. Area is covered so it's fine if it is raining. Staff is very nice and food comes out quick.

The French dip would,have been nice but the beef was too thick and overcooked and the roll was thick and doughy. The cheese shouldn't be on a French dip at all, but even more so when it was congealed and not melted. Skip this one. The tacos were decent though. The snapper was really good but a little overcooked and seriously over salted. No room for dessert. Love the bar because they accommodated a silly pisco sour request with a humorous creative twist!
