I was so pleased to have a local place for my favorite Spanish-American food, as well as some regular American dishes. Hubby ordered breakfast and I ordered a Caribbean lunch - Pernil (roast pork) with rice and peas, plus a side order of tostones (fried plantains). This is their Tuesday special, and it was delicious bringing back memories of a dear friend's mother who would cook the same food at her NJ bodega. I finished my lunch and couldn't eat another bite, even though homemade flan is available. Next time, which will be very soon!

What a cute waterfront gem with real hometown charm! We walked in and were immediately in a little…read moregift shop! It was super charming and unexpected. The hostess was right there, friendly and ready to seat us either inside or outside. We chose the covered, shaded patio with views of the water, and it was perfect. The whole place is decorated with lots of local art, which gives it this relaxed, cultured, artsy vibe that just feels good. It's the kind of atmosphere that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. My daughter ordered the chicken quesadillas and I went with a classic BLT and fries. Everything was delicious... fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying. I also couldn't resist trying their pineapple jalapeño margarita after seeing one on another table. It looked (and tasted) amazing. I'm not much of a drinker so I only had a few sips, but those few sips were worth it. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. We'll definitely be coming back with the whole family. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cute, low-key waterfront spot with good food and a lovely setting.

We have visited the silver dolphin several times and with friends. Mostly for brunch (added a few…read morephotos here). Also visited the Silver dolphin with my children, for Mother's Day and on St. Patrick's Day. The silver dolphin never disappoints. Hernando Beach restaurant that frequently has a short wait for seating... but is 100% worth the wait! Staff are small-town friendly and feels like home. While you wait, there is a large gift shop to peruse with decent pricing from local artists. Weather permitting, ask for seating outside. But if they are really full, the indoor seating is almost as nice (plus it has air-conditioning). Weekend specials on certain beverages, so early birds always save more money. We had the fish tacos, shrimp, tacos, watermelon Mojito, and steak sub. The fish tacos were divine and my daughter loved the shrimp tacos as well. Breakfast platters are healthy portions and also didn't disappoint. If you get there early, they have weekend mimosa and Bloody Mary specials (BOGO). Our favorite person was an elderly woman that cleans up the dishes. So incredibly sweet, kind and personable. Staff is very efficient, friendly, and food arrives rather quickly... along with beverages. Great view overlooking a canal, small deck on canal, complete with view of snapping turtles, cool breeze, shade, and areas to take pictures (dock, mermaid statues, dolphin statue, florida signage, etc.) We will definitely be back (again)!

The food here is consistently really good -- I've enjoyed many meals over the years and haven't had a bad one yet. Everything always comes out fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you expect. Their entertainment is genuinely fun and adds to the whole experience without feeling over the top. It's one of those places where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and feel like you're getting a little extra with the live music and atmosphere. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is easygoing in the best way. It's the kind of place you can bring friends to and know they'll have a good time. I always look forward to coming back.

This review will only be for the weekend Pizza. We have never been, but I kept seeing posts about…read morethe pizza on Sundays. Well, now it is all weekend and we decided to check it out. Driving by it looks like nothing, inside is a large seating area, a bar area and then doors to go to the outside where on the weekends at least there's live music. I took a step outside to get a picture of the pizza oven, what a beauty! I did not know it was the owner, but I asked the guy if I could grab a picture of it and in an Italian accent, he said get a picture from over here you can see inside. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, friendly and fast, And she had some large tables. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I asked the waitress while looking at the menu, I saw that they said some homemade pasta. She told me that they make all their pastas, breads, sauces, and pizza dough on site. We will have to come back and try some other meals, but the wood fired pizza was phenomenal. I had seen this place on the socials, and one time working my way back home when the expressway was shut down...I drove by it, and would've never noticed it if I hadn't known the name. The place is definitely doing the business, but you need to go. It is a hidden gem. One of the better pizzas in the drivable area for sure! The owners are from Italy, need I say anymore. Oh, I almost forgot that they have a nice selection of beers on draft. Seriously, reef donkey for five dollars. It only made the pizza that much better! And the sidenote when you get mushrooms on your pizza, you get a mixture of delicious mushrooms, all fresh, even shiitakes. The red peppers are freshly cut, and the onions are sautéed, which just adds another layer of flavor. And definitely when we go back I am getting some meatball sliders, cause we got meatballs on the one pizza and they were so delicious, just a tender flavorful hold together meatball but not dense! Well, done, my friends! You have a new loyal customer.

However, it is nice that this is conveniently located just off of US 19. That said, this is a great, quick bar type atmosphere with good food. They have a onion appetizer that is similar to the blooming onion at Steakhouse's. It is fabulous. They also have drink specials like a rocket pop during specific holidays and are quite tasty. Conveniently located behind steak 'n Shake in the Publix plaza. Indoor seating is air-conditioned and they have booths, which are nice when you're with family wanting conversation. Outdoor area is shaded and has a TV in a breeze (wish they'd clean up the trash in the retention pond because it takes away from this experience). Still, the food, selection, quality, and drinks special shells have brought us back on occasion.

Very, very casual atmosphere. Love walking into a restaurant/bar where everyone turns to look at you and then start whispering. I was ready to jet, but others wanted to check out the outside. Not saying we're all that bougie but to say it has a patio is giving it too much credit. There are table, chairs and benches to sit on. It was toga night but only two of the staff dressed for the occasion and there was a DJ that came on while we waited for our dinner. Giovanni (who did not have on a toga) waited on our party of four and he was the highlight of our experience. He came out with a cocktail, yes cocktail that he claimed to devise that was delicious. Though a member of our party complained that the wine was ready to turn to vinegar, at least on his first glass. We order the chicken wings Garlic & Habanero) which were really good. I had the shrimp scampi which came with garlic bread and salad and all of this was very tasty. Husband had gyro and fries, which were so filling he had to get a to go box. Dinner guests both had the Catch of the Day which turned out to be sole, one grilled, one blackened and salads. He loved the grilled sole, don't think she was too keen on hers. All in all thank goodness the food was so good. I would say this place is designed more for locals because they sure weren't too friendly, except for Giovanni, to tourists and out of town guests.

Jersey…read moreMike's was always an institution back In Point Pleasant so we were happy when one opened near where we live. We came in and ordered two regular sized subs for our lunch, and were quickly greeted with a smile where our orders were placed. Hubby ordered a tuna fish, and I ordered the Italian Jersey Shore special. Meat is freshly sliced for your sandwich, which I ordered on white bread. Toppings are located at the next spot behind the counter, and we opted for the lettuce, tomatoes and onions (with juice - red wine vinegar and oil) to complete our sandwich. I also asked for pickles, which made me happy. The storefront is bright and clean, lots of windows make it feel bigger than what it is. Tables and chairs are convenient to eat in or take your sandwich home. An assortment of chips and cookies are also displayed in front before the cashier, and fountain drinks can be refilled after your lunch. Overall this location will be a favorite one for us, bringing back fond memories from our youth and the Jersey shore. We only needed a boardwalk outside to complete the memory.
