Beautiful place in Daytona, however, the food was not to my expectations. Prior to lunch we enjoyed some cocktails on the top floor. The music and the atmosphere was nice. As for the food it was dry and overcooked. We ordered the calamari, the Caesar salad and the fish and shrimp.

First time eating here and was not impressed. Had such a long wait. We ordered and food was delivered timely, but the quality was not to par.

Worst restaurant experience we've had in years. Never been to a place with this lousy of service. I will continue to leave this review to all my busineses.

Very friendly. Great food and atmosphere.

We wanted to eat bucket of crabs, however, they have only crab legs. (Disappointed, expecting that it was a whole crab). Said all the buckets options are crab legs only so we opted for other menu order. Thanks to Larry for his honesty and very good service. Always smiling and available when you need anything. Always checking up with the customer’s need. I ordered longboard lemonade for drinks, it was awesome. Since this is our first time here, Larry told us that we can bring the glass which has a twinklinh lights at the bottom. He gave us another more or less 1/2 pint of lemonade before we go. Great!

Great food and service!!!

Love the atmosphere and entertainment. The food was delicious. Kids enjoyed getting the berry lemonade with the shark in it!

Awesome place, good prices amazing views. Really great waitress, friendly staff, tons of options and wait time was minimal because we went early. Wait times tend to be longer come dinner. Worth the wait. Fun souvenirs too. Will be back.

Pros: Food Service Million Dollar Views Fresh, perfectly cooked seafood buckets! Comfy seats Excellent Full Menu (something for everyone) Best stuffed mushrooms I've found in Florida Cons: Gotta get their early (no call in reservations) Bit pricey (but lets be clear, you are paying for more than the food here....so this is a "light" Con, if a Con at all. We've made this a family tradition, and will continue to do so (upping the experience and switching things up each time (roof top vs. dining room vs. deck seating vs. Night time vs. Day time views!

The staff at the sign in station were very unfriendly. No eye contact. Quickly said 3 hour wait as I walked up. I counted over 20 empty tables. Guessing it was a "No Staff" issue but t regardless I will not return
