The fried alligator was cooked perfectly and portions were more than enough. Ana was our server and she was sweet and very attentive. So if you're driving down 231 heading to the beach make sure you stop here and give this place a try it's so worth it.

Excellent place to visit on vacation…read more We arrived at 5:30 on a Tuesday and had about a 1.5 hr wait. It was a nice evening with clouds so the wait was enjoyable while we listened to the live music. The bar by the music is cash only so be prepared unless you want to wait in the line at the ATM. Once seated the waiter was quick to arrive and he was on point with everything we needed throughout the meal. The food was delicious and everything came out quick and hot. The hush puppies are delicious with just the right amount of jalapeño crumbles. The shrimp is local and also very good on tacos. Well done guys!!! We will be back.

First of all, out in the middle of no where, odd open times but BUSY BUSY when they are open. Take a seat if available and you will be greeted and treated by their sweet littlest family members who are ready to take your drink orders. Our server was excellent and ready to host and please her guests. They seem to be VERY accommodating with their menu and requests so any questions or concerns prior to ordering do ask, because they were very willing to please! I came in with the intention of ordering the all you can eat--which is mix and match!! but the server talked me out of it (I think she under estimated my ability to pound food) BUT she said if I chose to order more and upgrade later she would do that for me with no penalty. We had 6 in our party. Our drinks came quickly and without issue. They brought us one salad (forgetting another) and honestly the salads were small and disappointing (this is where they start losing some creds). Definitely more salad dressing than salad. It's odd they chose to use disposable containers and dinner ware--I feel like a lot of waste and overhead is lost here...I mean the salad comes in a plastic clear container, with dressing in plastic ramekin with lid and on styrofoam plate with two packs of crackers. Losing too much. Especially for three bites of salad. I ordered the "deviled crab" and grilled shrimp. It came with two hush puppies which I immediately gave away (I don't eat those at all), two sides; onion rings and cheese grits. Ya'll, those onions rings were ON POINT. Don't miss out on those if you stop in. They boast that everything is homemade and I believe it. The onion rings were perfect. The cheese grits were pretty yummy--I wish I tossed my grilled shrimp in them. So the deviled crab, if you've ever had this dish before--theirs is not it. What they truly have here is a homemade crab cake. It's not bad--I ate all mine--however my two gfs could not. They were so disappointed and turned off by the texture/color of the cake. The server noticed they weren't eating theirs and was adamant about bringing them replacement food--they finally agreed to take more fried shrimp which was also very yummy. Crab claws is a new dish for me on this Florida trip--they offer it grilled, fried or blackened and I will say the grilled crab claw was delicious! For the six of us; all ordered the seafood platters (combo of 2) our total was $130 so I'd say that's very reasonable. Definitely worth the stop!!

Decent wine menu, and the pistachio crème brûlée was fun. Even had port for me to drink to round out a perfect meal! The service was impeccable and prompt. The atmosphere is the only thing that is lacking, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Just a little sterile and feels sort of like a cafeteria at an old folks home. But, like I said, not a deal breaker. The food more than makes up for it!

I can assure you should not miss restaurant. The ambience is perfect Moroccan culture down to the red soap, dispensers and papertowels, and sinks in the restroom. I did not think it looked like a restaurant from the outside. The prices are truly surprisingly low for the quality of the food. The shish kebabs meet was tender, the rice was delicious. The lamb leg melted in your mouth. The hummus was delicious, the pita bread was fresh. I could have eaten more of the wonderful and very tasty in grape leaves, which had a little spicy. This place needs to be on your list to try. I understand it maybe a long way however, if you want, real Mediterranean Morocco food this is a place to go. It may be two hour from my house, but I'll be coming back. We met the chefs, who were very friendly, information and knowledgeable.

If you know anything about middle eastern, Turkish or Mediterranean food this place doesn't have the flavor. Had the chicken shawarma and it's made from chicken fingers, the fattoush was a bit of a joke it was iceberg lettuce (lol) and not one touch of sumac. While the food was meh I wouldn't call this Mediterranean by any stretch of the imagination. If I didn't know Mediterranean maybe it would somehow fool me. Buddy had the lamb shank and it was tender but completely bland. Sorry, won't be back.
