The food is first rate and freshly made .I particularly love the breakfast sausage patties they serve .There are lots of good choices to try.

The pretty wallpaper gave it a soft feel while dining. We started with some wine, they have a good selection of beer and wines. The glassware is pretty and even the lemon in the water was pretty! We both were excited to try the beef Wellington- something I had never tried before! The flaky crust was light and delicious, the beef inside was cooked to perfection! Inside was mushrooms and risotto. There were veggies on the side, but not enough in my humble opinion. Also, I felt the amount of pastry around the beef was too large. But again, my first time having it, what do I know? The service was excellent and they do offer wine tasting events! Give Fusion Blue a try!

This is one of the highest rated places in the area so we finally gave it a try. I wish I had…read moreactually listened to the reviews because it felt like a mix of Denny's and Chili's, and not in a good way. Positives-they take reservations. Always a plus. 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!

The staff is always friendly and quick with orders. I really like that they even have a drive through. The sandwiches are great and easily customizable. I also highly recommend the breakfast paninis, they also have a great pesto aioli. Please keep in mind during tourist season this place is packed! They get orders out fairly fast but be patient it will be worth it. I haven't tried the pastries but the cheese cake is really good too. Overall a must go for a good quick sandwich and coffee.
