We love supporting our local community as it is still recovering from Hurricane Ian. We crossed the bridge towards St. James City and towards the Cafe. It was bustling and it looks like a lot of snow birds have found this hidden gem. Everything is homemade and baked there. We ordered our usual- Scrambled eggs piled high on a Croissant with bacon and cheese. A delicious crispy concoction that keeps us coming back! Not to mention the fresh ground coffee and the little patio outside overlooking a peaceful lake. We ate our sandwiches outside in the cool beautiful breezy weather. The sandwich is so yummy and you need a fork and knife to cut through the delicate croissant. Then off we go to our favorite little Publix on Pine Island to grocery shop. A lovely way to begin our day!

The waitress said it was ok but it really wasn't. I had an inking to leave instead of staying. Dave of course disagreed. When he is ever going to listen to me? We ordered quickly. I wanted soup, but they didn't have any. He ordered a Rueben sandwhich with home fries. The sandwhich was very salty. The side was today's leftover potatoes, grilled and hard. I got the gyro Pita. It wasn't very warm and I didn't see a side of tzatziki dressing. I asked about the potato salad. I did not think it was good but very sweet and there were potato chips on the plate too. We left it uneaten. Totally disappointing and I rather have been told to come back instead of feeling like we were really not wanted. I love this restaurant and we have always tried to support it especially after Hurricane Ian. Eventually we will try it again. There were other people who came in after us but I think they might have ordered take out. This is not my usual kind review. I always value customer service and today was not one of those days.

We wanted to explore Pine Island and came across their excellent Google reviews. As we were driving in, I began to worry that the hours listed on Google for their location were incorrect. But we went all the way to the end of the dark Marina tonight, and there it was! We ordered the Crabby fries, the Smashburger in the Pastrami Reuben. One of the reasons I think their food is so delicious is that they make many items in-house, such as the amazing queso that came with the fries (which might have been the best fries I've ever had- no exaggeration). They prepare the fries in a unique way that doesn't involve deep-frying them, unlike most places. They also smoke their pastrami, and the Pastrami Reuben sandwich was also delicious. We also both enjoyed the Smashburger. An upgrade to bun might be worthwhile, but it was damn tasty. We also had a lovely chat with one of the managers?, Matthew. He was super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the restaurant. It was dark when we went, but I'm sure it's a beautiful view of the water and the marina during the day. We'll be back to try the wings and some other menu items. Visit them soon, you won't be disappointed!

We sat on the swings at the bar which were fun. Next time we will try the patio in the evening for a romantic dinner. They have a small gift shop. Bought one of those glasses and a coffee mug with their cool pic on it. They have free Valet parking. Please tip the guy. They also had music bingo when we were there on a Monday for lunch. I think they do it twice a week. I wish the place would be closer to my house. I would be there all the time. They have a very large bar. I would like to see more familiar items on the menu. You have to go there. It's on the water. Several small buildings with gift shops on the same street, we didn't have time to stop in there. We'll do it next time. Can't wait to go back for dinner

Yucatán Waterfront Restaurant - June 2026…read more We used to love Yucatán -- it was one of our go-to spots. That's what makes this experience so disappointing. The food was solid and the waterfront atmosphere was as charming as ever. Unfortunately, the payment process turned a good meal into a frustrating mess. After lunch, our server brought a handheld credit card terminal. We tried swiping our card multiple times, but the machine kept failing to read it. Assuming the payment hadn't gone through, we paid in cash and left. The next day, I checked my statements and discovered the card had been charged anyway. I called the restaurant several times to resolve the double payment, but no one ever returned my calls. I even contacted Mastercard, but they couldn't help directly. The meal itself was enjoyable, but the complete lack of communication and follow-up on the billing error left us feeling disrespected. Bottom line: We won't be returning. If you're looking for a great waterfront meal in the area, there are far more reliable options, including: * Blue Dog Bar & Grill * Tarpon Lodge * Phuzzy's Boat Shack * Miceli's Restaurant * and so many more ... plus many other excellent local restaurants. Skip Yucatán until they fix their payment and customer service issues. I hope the next time we drive by we see a sign that says "under new management"

It is however, the place to go to get any gourmet food or snack you could think of: Cheese, salmon, dips, spreads, crackers, etc. At first glance, the store looks a bit small.

Most of all we will be indebted to the owner for recommending what has become our favorite brand of pretzels, Dots. Now we buy Dots Pretzels by the pound online.
