We loved this place! Finally, a healthy food option in a beach town. The restaurant seemed new. Our party of 9 was able to find seating right away. We ordered at the counter and food was brought to our table. The food was tasty, the restaurant was clean, and the ambience was pleasant.

Southern hospitality at its best with staff being super friendly and respectful!! The Caribbean Bowl was lovely and I added chicken and a Margarita ? I loved this place before the hurricane and so happy they have re-opened.

Although this place had lots of vegan "options" it was the worst food I've almost ever had in my life. I think they need to have a vegan come in to help with flavors and recipes. The marinated tofu truly tasted like feet and was just disgusting. My sister and I both got a bowl option. I got the vegan bowl with tofu added and my sister got another one both with added tofu. We hardly ate any of it. They also apparently do not have clean tap water available although they do have a soda muchine which would be hooked up to tap water? The rest of my family who does eat meat were also not impressed at all. Small portions for the cost. Unfortunately the vegan options were not calorically dense at all. The bowls are mostly pineapple and cucumber with a small scoop of rice. It is a cute place and we thought the turf floor was fun, but just not good food. $100 for a family of 5. I never like to leave any kind of negative reviews but I would have really liked to have seen this kind of review to prevent spending $100 only to have to eat somewhere else.

10/10 By far the best place we've eaten in the area. The aesthetics and vibe are on point but the food is even better. My husband and daughter got the chicken tenders and both said they were the best they had ever had- very fresh! I enjoyed all the flavors of the Caribbean Bowl (wow!) and my vodka + lemonade was very refreshing. I should also mention that it was very clean and nice and cold. We also appreciated the board games and family friendly atmosphere. We came at lunch and was surprised at how quiet it was. Service was excellent. We will come here again before our trip is over and highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

I got the surf n turf burger (w/ remoulade sauce instead of tartar) with sweet potato waffle fries and it was AMAZING! Well seasoned burger & perfectly cooked shrimp on a soft bun. Fries were delicious! Definitely the best burger I've had in a long time! Atmosphere is nice and the workers were very friendly. Prices were a little on the high side for burgers but it was worth it! There was also parking under the building.I only took away 1 star because they didn't give me the correct fries on my order BUT they corrected it pretty quickly.

We went here for the first time today. The food was amazing. The service was great and the girl at the counter (Caroline) was so knowledgeable. This will definitely be a “go to” for us from now on when we visit Orange Beach. The Riviera Caviar is a “must have”. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Went here for a late lunch/early dinner….different than we expected as the website must be old… we all had the burgers and fries that came out nice and hot and well prepared… we like the atmosphere and the grass looking carpet on the floors and even the deck….was a little pricey for burgers but everything is higher at the beach!! Overall very good and would eat there again! EVERYONE was very courteous and nice!!

My favorite place we’ve been to so far! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was just so peaceful and fun! Seriously, best chicken tenders I’ve ever had! The bowl options were fun and different. Overall, a great family friendly restaurant!*we went at around 4 o’clock and it wasn’t busy at all but was picking up as we were leaving around 5.

Fresh, beautiful ingredients. A definite must. So many options. 10/10 recommend!
