The special when I went was lobster Benedict. Very yummy, lots of lobster. Other people said that the burger was delicious, and so were the fries. The drinks were fresh, cold, and good. The service was very good and they were super accommodating. The wait times weren’t bad here either. -

I stayed next door at the Cottages by the Sea and visited Beachside Cafe nearly everyday of my trip. As a solo traveler with a very open itinerary they were welcoming and always found room for me although I didn’t make reservations. Being able to pop over when it was convenient for me was incredibly nice and made an already relaxing vacation that much more enjoyable. Food was excellent, drinks delicious (they have a nice mocktail menu!) and the people so friendly and professional. And the view? Didn’t want to leave. Try the hummus and guacamole wrap! I couldn’t get enough of it and chose it for my final meal before hoping back on a plane to sub-freezing temps. I’ll be back soon! -

Food is great and the service is amazing!!! Yvette is the most wonderful host! I cannot remember the servers name but she was wonderful every time we had her. The place is pricey but it's worth it! Cannot beat the views and the service 🙂 -

From the minute we walked to the host stand until we left the property, we experienced the best that a restaurant has to offer. Our service was excellent and the menu is so alluring we had to try several items for the table. All of the food was the best we had on island. It was better than our favorites at home. Sitting oceanfront was spectacular! This place is a real gem. We can’t wait to go back! -

We had a large group of eleven people. The waiters greeted us with a warm smile that made us feel at home. Our table was prepared and waiting on us. We were promptly served. Our server recommended some great drinks. We preorder our meals which included some item not on the menu. The orders were accurate and arrived on timely. They offered a complimentary dessert for my birthday. The service felt attentive without being intrusive. The outdoor seating had a lovely view of the ocean. Tables were spaced nicely, providing enough privacy for the group. The place was spotless, including the restrooms. The food was excellent, and the chocolate cake was second to none. -

I have been here a few times but mostly for a drink or quick app while hanging out on the water, never been for a full meal. I was seated by Yvette the hostess. She was polite and led me straight to my table even though I didn’t have a reservation she even told me who my server would be. As soon as he was able Tim took my order and helped me choose and main. I ordered the bang bang shrimp so good not too spicy and a hint of sweet. The steak … 14oz boneless ribeye … juicy and flavorful with grill marks was delicious and just what Imagined it would be. The mashed potatoes seasoned just right without lumps. The green beans … definitely seasoned. All on point ! A little shocked to see the sides a la carte priced at $10 each when I have a strong feel the green beans are from a can. I ordered a Capashio it was ok, couldn’t taste or feel the alcohol just the pistachio flavor. I will still come back tho ! -

Tim the bartender is the man! He can make anything and tailor it to your taste. We were always so happy when he was working. Andre and Zander were also fantastic. We ate lunch here twice and enjoyed it both times. It was a nice place to meet friends who were on the island at the same time. Service was very good and quick. Will see you next time! -

The food was not what I expected at all, the salmon burger was a bit dry, the fries tasted like something frozen, you would bake at home. The drinks were okay, they were a good size for the price. There was no bangbang shrimp, no carrot cake they both were frozen. The service was amazing, the view was fantastic and the atmosphere was truly beautiful and relaxing. -
