On a Friday happy hour is until 7pm, which includes a variety of well drinks and beers. The staff are professional and friendly. Our bartender was thoughtful to make our day special despite how busy the whole place was. We worked on sharing a variety of shrimp dishes and enjoyed people watching at the beach. The food was absolutely delicious as we attempted to choose which shrimp was our favorite, while sipping on our drinks. I recommend getting dessert to top off your dinner choices. The peanut butter pie was polished off quickly that forgot to take a picture of it. Great place for a date!

The service was absolutely fantastic, attentive without being overbearing, and made everything feel easy and enjoyable.

We came for lunch and honestly didn't want to leave. Our server Brooke was the kind of person who makes a restaurant great. Attentive, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. She had great energy and made our whole group feel taken care of without ever being intrusive. Ask for her if you can. The food was outstanding. We ordered the ahi tuna pizza -- a crispy flatbread topped with fresh raw tuna, avocado, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of spicy aioli and teriyaki glaze. It was stunning to look at and even better to eat. The blackened fish sandwich came loaded with fresh toppings and paired perfectly with the golden fries. The grilled chicken tacos were generous and well-seasoned with a mango salsa on the side that really popped. We also got the coconut shrimp -- beautifully fried with a honey mustard dipping sauce -- and our little one loved the chicken bites and fries. Don't skip the gator bites either -- a true Florida experience, perfectly crispy and served with a honey mustard that kept us reaching for more. Everything tasted fresh, like it came straight off the boat. We toasted the afternoon with margaritas on the rocks and honestly couldn't imagine a better setting -- salt-rimmed cups, ocean breeze, the sound of waves just a few feet away. Yes, the prices are a step up, but when you factor in that you're sitting steps from the beach with food this fresh and a view like this, it's worth every penny. If you're passing through Daytona, make a point to stop in -- you won't regret it.

I was looking for Mexican food on my way into Daytona and this new place popped up with only one…read morereview, but a very good one, so my wife and decided to try it. It's new to the area, but apparently is the same folks who owned a Mexican restaurant in Southern Illinois. Awesome. We had Iberian beef tacos, which was a special. We did not try the Pastor tacos but they looked great too. And of course we had chips and salsa. The tacos were flawless. Tremendous flavor. And the salsa was great too and was obviously freshly prepared. I go to Cozumel Mexico a couple times each year and love to eat authentic Mexican dishes when I am there. This place is as good as anything I eat in Mexico. This place is just getting rolling in Daytona. It won't take long. Don't let the name fool you, it's top notch Mexican food. I liked the food so much I asked a few questions and spoke with the owners and chef. They clearly know their stuff and we're extremely nice. Go now. Go often. Or miss out.

The server was attentive, but several mistakes were made with our orders. It wasn't a big deal. It just seemed kind of like the attention to detail really wasn't there. And we were there during an afternoon lol so it wasn't like they had a lot going on. That being said, the food was decent, the portions reasonable, and it wasn't overly expensive. I think we'd probably come back and give them another try at some point.

Our servers name was Greg; he knew everything about the menu and gave honest suggestions. We opted for the chef's 5-course tasting menu ($85). The portions are smaller, each dish is thoughtfully crafted and surprisingly filling. The drinks are easily some of the best I've had. Sitting at the chef's table added a unique, interactive element to the evening and felt like great value for the price. The only area that didn't quite match the rest was the ambiance, which could use a bit more effort. Still, the quality of the food and overall experience more than make up for it. I'd definitely return.

Regrettably, our visit did not meet expectations based on previous reviews. Lunch is served exclusively outdoors and features a more limited menu. While it was a different experience than we expected, the beautiful oceanfront setting more than made up for it. Cast & Crew is inside the Renaissance Hotel. Valet parking is complimentary for up to 4 hours. The Maine Lobster BLT was generously filled with sweet, tender chunks of lobster, which was a bit under seasoned. The bacon was really tough to chew. The fries were wonderfully crispy and the perfect side. The Floral Tides was a refreshing cocktail made with gin, Eldeflower, agave, and lemon I'd love to return and experience the dinner menu to provide a more complete and balanced review.

Absolute perfection -- smoky, buttery, and totally unforgettable. We didn't stop there (because self-control is overrated ). The fried calamari and coconut shrimp both came out lightning fast and piping hot, and every bite was delicious Now, fair warning -- this is definitely a sports bar vibe. Think tons of TVs , games from everywhere, and a big, energetic crowd. If you're planning a quiet, romantic dinner... this ain't it. But if you want fun, lively, and full of energy? You're in the right place Also worth noting: even if seafood isn't your thing, the menu has plenty of options for everyone Bottom line: great food, fast service, and a fun atmosphere.

The food looked like cafeteria food and tasted just as bad. Most items were bland, overcooked, or simply unappealing. Nothing felt fresh, festive, or worth the price.

Unfortunately, there was a very large party of about 25 so we didn't get as good of service as we should have. I ordered the Cioppino, my friend ordered the salmon, and we had beignets for dessert. What really upset me, is that I had the worst tasting bloody Mary I've ever had in my life and it was $16! I actually got up from the table to go find my server to ask him if they had any horseradish or Worchester sauce, so I could spice it up. And then he brings me the $16 bill. After I said something, he adjusted the bill to just charge me for a shot of vodka, which was appropriate. The cioppino was OK, but the salmon was amazing! Would I go back? Probably not.

The tortillas on the tacos seem to be freshly made and heated up, they were crispy but not crunchy and still pliable. The chicken and the shrimp both had great flavor that I really enjoyed. Next time I'll try all the sauces and all the fixings! Edit: the next day I arrived and nobody was there. Another Yelp user messaged me a week later to say that they also saw the restaurant is empty.
