    the name of the purple shrimp
    Amy S.

    Wow, this was beyond my expectations! As I perused the food vendor at the food hall, I was faced with a very tough decision. I had it down to 2 choices when the cookie lady said she had eaten here in the past (and was waiting for delivery of her lunch today). She said it was great. So here I go.... to the great unknown. I selected the shrimp po'boy from the menu and on the phone we go??? It seems this vendor had an arrangement to use one of the nearby restaurant kitchens and had their chef at the ready. While I was waiting, we talked and I discovered this is a family business... mom, dad and daughter. They were all very personable and a few minutes passed very quickly. As we chat, here comes mom with steaming hot shrimp and the assembly begins. Everything was fresh and delicious. I love my shrimp and this was one of the best po'boys. I highly recommend stopping if you see them. Enjoy!

    Harry's is a restaurant located in both New York, where I live now, and in Florida, where I used to…read morelive. They are both owned by Harry, who takes such good care of his employees. At both establishments, the service is immaculate. For my Great Gramps' 103rd, we celebrate every chance we get, and he loves Harry's. We came for the Beef Wellington, but when we asked, they said they were not serving it today. We were so sad because we came specifically for it. The servers came together and were able to make it happen, and it was worth every bite. We had the sommelier give us a great recommendation for the Anna red wine. We had such a wonderful experience. I love the service, food, and experience that I get from Harry's every time.

    When dining at restaurants that have a loyal following and long-standing reputation, I try to…read moreapproach reviews with both respect and caution. I'm not here to diminish anyone else's experience, but rather to share my own honestly and constructively. Situations like this should serve as a learning opportunity for upper-level management, especially when the level of service and leadership falls below even basic expectations. We ordered a filet mignon that lacked the tenderness I would expect from a restaurant claiming this caliber of dining. We also ordered the salmon, which unfortunately had that unmistakable metallic, pungent flavor that immediately signals the fish is not fresh and should not be consumed further. We brought the issue to the attention of the manager, who acknowledged it initially but never returned to follow up. To their credit, the salmon was removed from the bill and an alternative dish was offered. However, the overall experience still fell far short of what should be expected at this price point and reputation level. What disappointed me most was not simply the food itself, but the complete lack of genuine hospitality and ownership from management. Strong restaurants understand that service recovery matters just as much as the meal. There's a reason establishments like The Capital Grille or Flagler Steakhouse have earned reputations for professionalism and customer care. Sometimes I genuinely think managers at places like this should spend time training in environments where hospitality is treated as an art form rather than an inconvenience. The following day, I was still disappointed enough to write this review. At a certain point, guests should not have to spend over $200 while simultaneously educating a restaurant on how to deliver proper service and quality control. With an abundance of superior restaurants nearby, this is not a place I would return to, even if offered a complimentary meal. Don't chance it.

    I wanted to sit at the bar because of the aquarium bar top and view. They don't take reservations…read moreso we went on a weekday around open. We drove up just before open and it's such a huge property we arrived at the restaurant just a little after. The hostesses were the only compliant I have. They didn't seem happy to be there and I didn't feel a sliver of hospitality from them. They didn't walk us over just said to go on through despite never having been here before. Nina was AWESOME! She was so pleasant and informative. She got excited for everything we ordered and talked about the history of each item and why they were good choices. I got the skinny pina colada. My husband and I shared and I'd say we split it pretty 50/50. According to my husband, it is the best drink he's ever had. My favorite drink back home also has the Malibu rum but ohh I couldn't drank more of these! Nina raved about how while there is alcohol you also get the benefits of coconut water and the fresh pineapple so you don't feel horrible. I felt good and it was so refreshing! I'll need to try to make this back home! We ordered the truffled Parker house grilled cheese, seafood club, and wood grilled burger. I did not get a picture of the grilled cheese but the bun resembled challah bread. It was so fluffy topped with a butter shine. It melts in your mouth and it comes with tomato soup. I didn't try with the tomato soup but by itself it was amazing! The seafood club as Nina put is as if a lobster roll and a BLT had a baby. That thing was MASSIVE. I definitely could not finish. I probably ate 1/8 because it was huge! It also came with truffle fries and it was all so delicious and fresh. My husband KILLED that burger so suffice to say he enjoyed it lol If you do valet parking, they do validate although there is self parking as well but it is very very limited unless you go early. They scan your ID as you enter the premises and lead you to where you an enter self parking or the valet entrance. Beautiful experience and 100% recommend. Everyone I know who's been here has nothing but nice things to say about the breakers in general and the view is beautiful from the bar. We'll be back!

    This bar is beautiful. The setting -- windows overlooking the ocean -- and the actual bar itself…read more I've been a handful of times, but last night I saw a man taking photos of the actual bar top and saying he's never seen anything like it. The fish that swim in the clear glass are so pretty. Clownfish I think? I've been at a table twice before, but I much prefer the barstools to watch the fish and look at the sand and coral. The bartenders are always very professional, but friendly if you talk to them. As for the menu, it's not a large list, and it's very expensive. I've had the crab nachos and the seafood tower and both were terrific. A guy next to us last night had the burger, which I wouldn't choose at a seafood bar, but he seemed happy with it. A man on the other side of us had two shots of whiskey at $260 a piece. I couldn't believe it! So it's a fun place to people watch as well, and of course just walking through the Breakers Hotel is a kick. I like to think of all its history. If you are rich, it's a nice place for a date. If you aren't rich and want a special evening, I can recommend it. I self parked for free, but if you valet you can get your ticket validated.

Just about 1/3 of the menu amongst 6 of us. And we finished the meal with the Peanut butter bar and a key lime tart. Perfect end to a fine meal!
