Just last week on Jan 13th or 14th..... it was 730am. The door was locked. I see someone clearly back there behind the kitchen doors. It sucks because now I don't feel like driving down anymore. I have been recommending this place to everyone too. Customers shouldn't have to call ahead of time to see if you're open during your normal hours of operation. Great food though. A successful restaurant requires consistency, and unfortunately for this business, it isn't consistent. Damn shame.

The steak with Bearnaise sauce was done superbly; the broiled grouper was excellent. We have tried to find good seafood that is not fried - this is the first we have found. The Mac and Cheese with shrimp and crab meat was delicious, although the crab got a little lost. The shrimp and grits had perfectly-cooked shrimp, which you can find around here sometimes, but the grits were less than perfection. The service was good, although the server was filling in for the normal server, who was ill. She let us know she was a little out of practice, but she did fine. The ambiance is, well, not for a first date. Go there for the food with someone you know well, and you will get a first-rate meal for $40 - $50 per person.

The whole restaurant is super cute, albeit it does get really hot inside with only fans when there are lots of people inside. The tables are clean and the staff is friendly. The avocado toast has awesome goat cheese and the bacon you can add on is wonderful. The bad: Honestly extremely disappointed today. This is my third time here and I've been recommending them to all of my friends and family. We came in at 2 pm when they close at 4, drove 30 minutes for lunch, for the "kitchen to be closed". No where on their website or anywhere else do they advertise that they may close the kitchen early and I asked when it typically closes and they said they can just decide to close it when they feel like it, so they're only serving coffee and smoothies. We opted for smoothie bowls and they were completely liquid, we had to drink them and not eat them with spoons. There was also chunks of frozen fruit that didn't get blended and there was no spirulina and zero coconut flavor. Not sure who was working today but it was honestly such a bad experience that I don't think I'll be back or be recommending them to people anymore. $13 for basically a banana and handful of blueberries with melted juice and frozen pineapple chunks is highway robbery. Added two stars for the two prior experiences, I guess.

Taken right to our table and passed the infamous salad bar which looked so pitiful we all passed on that. Kind of a bummer. We were sat in a comfortable booth but everywhere around seemed like it needed a good clean and definitely not the atmosphere of any steak house I've ever been to. We ordered the crab cake and shrimp skewer for appetizers. Both were good. For our meals we ordered a little bit of everything including a rib eye which came out bloody (asked for medium well), pasta, brussels, grilled cheese, chicken tenders and fries. The overall consensus was that it was an epic failure. I would hardly call this a steakhouse, let alone with a famous salad bar. We definitely will not be returning. It's the beach so our expectations are never overly high but wow this was a disappointment!

And holy smokes... another absolute banger for the taste buds! I've been on the fence about this kind of bagel for a while, and now my only question is: WHY?

I'd show you a picture, but hunger took the wheel, and by the time my brain said "get a photo," we were already discussing funeral arrangements for the crumbs. I'll absolutely be back! Stop in, support local, and grab a coffee, bagel, muffin, or sandwich. If you order the lox, learn from my mistakes: skip the hesitation and take the picture BEFORE the first bite.
