No pool house... but a great bar that keeps the good times flowing. Grab a lawn chair, a picnic bench, heck--pull up an empty keg if you have to. It's retro, quirky, perfectly imperfect, and totally awesome. No giant stadium distance, no pretension--just musicians and music lovers sharing the same little patch of earth. You MIGHT see bands like: * The Flamingo Insurance Adjusters * Port St. Lucie Sock Drawer Orchestra * Josh & the Couchlandia Couch Cushions * Rotary's Midnight Funnel Cake Rebellion * The Sweaty Tiki Philosophers * Big Brother & the Little Noise Makers It's weird, it's wonderful, and it's exactly what live music should be. Perfect spot for a Rotary crew night out--or a fun BBBS-friendly show when the lineup fits.

For our entrees, I had the seafood platter, my bride had the shrimp scampi. Finally for dessert we shared a slice of the caramel cheesecake. THE ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is on the water with bar seating and white cloth table dining in several rooms. If you're looking for seaside dining Pirates Cove will suite you fine. THE FOOD: Our appetizers... My French onion soup was made like a traditional French onion soup with plenty of melted cheese and oodles of onions. There were plenty of mussels bathed in a delicious white wine and butter base for my brides mussels appetizer. Our entrees... My seafood platter featured a small serving of white fish, which was nice and juicy, two small stuffed shrimp, which were quite tasty, two scallops made properly (not under cooked and slimy or overcooked and rubbery). My brides shrimp scampi featured 5 small shrimp over a bed of linguine. The dish was well made with hints of garlic and butter in the balanced cream sauce. The dessert: Our caramel cheesecake dessert was creamy and rich. THE SERVICE: It's always a challenge for a server to serve large parties, but our server did great. Delivered our drinks in a timely fashion watched over us for any needed refills and clearly explained any questions we had. THE BOTTOM LINE: As always with my reviews, the "customer so what" would I return is complicated for the Pirates Cove. My answer... probably not. Why not if the food was prepared properly, the ambiance was fitting for a seafood restaurant and the service was fine? The answer lies in serving size, price and add on charges. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium meal but Pirates Cove charged $40 for a seafood platter that should more realistically be called a seafood sampling. At $36 My wife's shrimp scampi should have featured large shrimp instead of the small shrimp she received. And, finally, the add on prices which included a 3% service charge and a whopping 21% tip. I don't mind tipping heavily for good service and our server would have probably gotten 25% if it was my choice. However, I HATE having a restaurant dictate what I'll tip! I understand mandatory tipping for a large party but I've never seen it set at 21%! As for the service charge, it was placed on every bill whether you paid with a credit card or not. One of my guests asked if that was a credit card fee (which I hate as well) and was told if he paid cash, our servers would take that fee off. How many people didn't know enough to ask that question, and end up paying that fee when paying with cash?? I hate underhanded trickery like that and discourage it by not returning. In summary you'll have to ask yourself before dining at Pirates Cove, is the food, ambiance and service quality worth the rest? If it is, enjoy. As for me, I'll skip it. There are too many other great seafood places that will provide quality dining, great service and atmosphere without the unwelcome luggage included.

Last week we had drinks and I ordered a Margarita less OJ like I always do. It was straight sour mix on ice. Verified by 2 people at the table. I told the server that I think they forgot the tequila. She came back with the same drink and said the bar said "its because I skipped the OJ" ?? Well that would make it taste like sour and OJ wouldnt it? It still wouldnt taste like Tequila because there was none in it. Tje poor server agreed with me and apologized. She also said management will not let them freepour anymore and they are mandated to use jiggers. She said there had been several complaints about drink quality. I left the full drink , minus 3 tastings , on the table. Not only didnt they remake it, they charged me for it. Fast forward a week and we had friends visiting so we took the to the tiki to eat lunch. Everyone had mahi , 2 fried, one blackened. The blackened dish was cut up like french fries and drier than dirt. No one ate it. The fried plates were terribly fishy. I eat fresh mahi routinely and this wasnt fresh by any means. Im afraid we are going to have to find somewhere else to visit. There just aint much good around there anymore but the views, the music and the conch fritters ( but even they werent that great last time)

A big thatched roof protected everyone from sun and rain. There were plenty of tables in the sand, as well as in the hut. Our server, Ellie, was delightful. She made good suggestions, handled special requests perfectly and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Most bands playing at pubs and bars share one trait - they are always WAY too loud. Not the Samantha Russell Band. She has a powerhouse voice and her band were really good (albeit just a bit loud). The food was surprisingly good. The "special" pulled pork bowl was big and flavorful. The Caribbean Salad with Shrimp was fresh and tasty, lightly dressed with a nice portion of grilled shrimp. My Sweet Cajun Chicken Sandwich was outstanding. The mild barbecue sauce balanced the Cajun seasonings, the chicken was perfectly cooked and the Pretzel Bun just right.

The meet up place was easy to find, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We only had 10 people on our cruise so it took the smaller of the two boats which I don't think made much difference for the overall experience, but was nice to have the smaller group of 10. The tour went by the lighthouse and north of the inland waterway past Jupiter Island, with our helpful captain, pointing out many of the celebrity homes along the way. It was a lovely way to spend a couple hours on the water and the all you can drink beers and seltzers didn't hurt, lol! Please note if the tour you've signed up for doesn't have at least six people you will be moved to another tour, which is what happened to us and we didn't realize we were only getting a two hour tour when we had paid for a three hour tour until it had already started. Seems like there was a little bit of disconnect in the information sharing, but we still had an excellent experience and would definitely come again when visiting the area.

Their table bench Construction was slightly flawed in that they made the tiki tables just a little too high. However, they came up with a solution to fix feet from dangling by putting a resting bar in the appropriate spot. The tables were well shaded, and there was a place for the kids to play in the back, which made it a great spot for families. I had the softshell crab. It was over fried for my taste, but the oil was fresh so you can taste that the crab was fresh. It was served a large piece of French bread which was disproportionately too big for the soft shell filling, I probably would have appreciated it more if it was served on something soft like a brioche bun. My friend ordered the pulled pork taco tacos. It was too small tacos and she didn't finish them, which told me that they didn't allow her. My sister ordered a fried fish taco. My husband ordered the grouper platter. He was still hungry after he finished it, he thought the serving size was a little skimpy. To rescue his meal he ordered some wings. The waitress described them as just made and that they weren't gonna run out of them tonight, which somehow implied that tomorrow they would. We were unimpressed, they were small wing segments, not like a big oven stuff a roaster part. They were not meaty, best described as dry and skimpy. Overall, I was not impressed with the food.
