    Lots of parking and no wait on Saturday morning
    Keith H.

    As diners go just fine. We had not been since they moved from the beach (15 years ago?) where there was always a wait. Now no wait, enough seating and great parking. Best hash browns ever and pea meal bacon perfect. Food choice slightly better than normal diner but likely to change!!! Just changed ownership on May13th. All staff keep telling you " it's going to get better". It did not strike me as bad to start with so we will see. Staff all surprised by quick sale last week but seem excited about it. Apparently someone from Canada who has experience running numerous franchise restaurants branching out to Florida. All very unusual- not least that every person who entered was told of new ownership. Immediately bar soon to be open? Ladies Bathroom out of soap so perhaps one change would be to check toilets. As a result cannot recommend or say bad word but watch this space and we plan to go again in a few months to see if they have soap in the ladies

    Reuben with gazpacho
    Allison K.

    Went here for a nice lunch with my family. They have changed and updated the menu. They now do breakfast or lunch all day. I got the Reuben on their homemade bread and the fried egg sandwich, and split them with my family. We also got the sandwich and soup special (Reuben and gazpacho). The table was wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was very friendly and outgoing. The food was delicious. The homemade rye bread was very good. This was my first Reuben, and it was delicious. The fried egg burger was made perfectly. The gazpacho came with croutons and other toppings. Overall it was a very good lunch, and a pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try some of their new breakfast menu items that looked delicious.

    We've been coming to place but I haven't done a review. We had several dishes and every bite tasted great. Eggs Casino: Their twist on classic Eggs Benedict was fantastic. Perfectly poached eggs, hearty ham, fresh tomato, and that signature sauce really brought it all together. Morning Super Star: Comfort food done right. It came with crispy hash browns smothered in melted cheese, topped with basted eggs, fresh tomatoes, and toast. Hawaiian Omelette: Loaded with sautéed veggies, topped with a rich cheese sauce, and finished with a grilled pineapple garnish. Deliciously unique. Nova Bagel Platter: A classic combo done with fresh, quality ingredients--creamy cheese, ripe tomato, red onion, and just the right touch of capers. Short Stack Pancakes: Fluffy, golden, and just the right amount of sweet. A perfect side or dessert to share at the table. Each plates came with a slice of watermelon and cantaloupe which both are pretty refreshing. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and fast, even during a busy morning. We'll definitely be back.

    I have limited experience at this establishment, but every time I come here for breakfast, they did not disappoint. Good food, good service, and a nice place to have breakfast with friends and family. Very efficient seating and ordering process. Overall, great experience.

    2022 4. Raisin Cream Cheese French Toast vs 2025
    Kailey M.

    I have been coming here for 25 years and I am deeply disappointed in my most recent visit. The prices have continued to go up (which I understand). But the quality and quantity of the food has dramatically decreased. I recently came back to John gs to get the cream cheese stuffed French toast that has been my go-to order. When they placed my food down on the table I was appalled. The difference is inexcusable. I understand that with covid and the change of management there have been changes here. But they kept up with the size of the food even after they changed owners... that is until today. The photos I included show 2022 vs 2025. Even my photo I took last year looks like the 2022 version. I'm so sad to say that after recommending this place to everyone I know, I don't think I will be returning after being a loyal customer for 25 years.

    3 fish stick for $29.95

    What happened to all the staff? Arrived at 2pm on a Wednesday approximately 28 diners in the restaurant and ONE (1) server that was not only waiting on all the tables, but also cashing people out. Been sitting 10 minutes without being acknowledged, had to ask twice for a menu. When paying $29.95 for a fried fish and fruit platter one would expect a higher quality service. Given water by the bus person and never asked for a beverage order. What a HUGE disappointment when the meal arrived $29.95 for three (3) Fish Sticks! Unbelievable, and one of them was terribly chewy. Had to ask 3 times for my check, and kept being told "I'll be right back with your check". Meanwhile she was sitting new guest and taking their drink orders, refilling drinks for other tables, taking pictures for guest, talking hugging and kissing what appeared to be regulars. I used to love this place, but this is my LAST visit. Service and food quality were terrible!

    Eggs Benedict with lox was great. Loved crispy home fries. Why raw onion on it?

PROS: - Busy front entrance; organized and speedy valet service helps a lot - GREAT setup on the water, very large establishment with many seating areas & levels to choose from - Live band gets a star from me every time! - The ambiance is very "tiki-tastic"... colourful lighting & the open air concept adds to the setting CONS: - The taste of my meal was 2 stars for sure... the salmon burger I ordered was mushy and mediocre-tasting - Prices were average but should be lower based on the meals presented - As much as the seating is plentiful there was none available. Be forewarned, the place gets packed! - The staff was rude. At one point we were just kinda wandering around looking for bar seating, and were reluctantly helped when we stopped to ask a question. And by reluctantly I mean eye roll, attitude voice & microaggressive moves like sighing & curt comments. I actually would've said 'one person's actions doesn't define the place' but we got similar frost at the host stand upon entry when being added to the wait list for a table - Not the fault of the restaurant, but the rotten egg smell of the algae in the water was really strong & highly off putting The negatives outweighed the positives for this first-time visit. I will go back one day but I'm in no rush for now... first impressions are the lasting ones.

I chose to have the Crème Brûlée French toast which was one of the specials. It was good and not too too sweet (but still quite filling).

It wasn't crunchy. It was unseasoned, no flavor. It was really really bland. When the server came after the two minutes, we told him like" this is not for us to finish it like literally we didn't even eat anything and unfortunately I don't know why ( since I'm a server, anytime somebody says something is bad and I clearly see they didn't eat it, i take it off the check.) the server didn't take it out of the check. He charged us for this really bad snapper. We didn't ask him to it, but he could've at least asked his manager to approach the table or something.
