As loyal patrons of Squid Lips Restaurant, we looked forward to the opening of River Deck during its construction in 2023-2024 and were one of the first to patronize it in July of 2024. We had high expectations based upon the detailed construction Process. However, we were extremely disappointed in the dining experience and never returned. We knew it would not remain open for long, and it closed in February of 2024 as expected. Bases upon the location and the relationship to Squid Lips, this should have been a home run. However, whomever conceptualized this establishment must have been high at the time. When the news came that a "new" concept was in the works, we were again hopeful. We hoped that someone smarter learned from the mistakes of the ill-fated River Deck. Sadly, that was not the case. We dined there on Tuesday and regret to admit that this was the worst dining experience in our 12 years in Florida. This was not a "they'll get the kinks out" experience, but a full blown epic fail. Charging full high quality restaurant menu pricing for roadside hot dog cuisine and paper napkin dispensers and plastic basket serving is unforgivable. We ordered nachos and fries for appetizers with jambalaya as an entre. The appetizers came but without plates to eat from. The nachos were topped with something that looked like cold Velveta that was coagulated atop a mix of unidentifiable morsels of roadkill and discarded vegetables. It was inedible. The jambalaya came out instantaneously with the appetizers and looked like it was prepared over night, left in a vat, and served by ladle into a slop trough. Also inedible. I had asked the waitress for lemon in my Coke while ordering, but it was served sans lemon. When she brought it, I asked once again for lemon. It never arrived. She was a pleasant woman, but has no business serving food in a busy eatery. For the first time in my life, I did not leave a tip (the tab was $80), nor did I feel bad about it. Epilogue: this location and outer structure could be an absolute Home Run for a properly managed restaurant. The decor is ugly and it doesn't help to be an open wind tunnel that cools the food in less than 5 minutes. Recommendations: Get rid of the "trendy" decor, shield the diners from the wind, put some glass between the pillars leaving an "optional" Al fresco area next to the water, get a real chef, serve seafood and continental items and TRAIN the servers before releasing them on the patrons. You don't seem to have restaurant experience... hire a proper manager. This should not be a training ground for amateurs. read more

Good the location and the food was good. Service over multiple servers was spotty but we left a generous tip. Definitely could up their service game. And oh they had a $2 Killians red for happy hour beer selection. That was great! read more

I had some friends with a dog visiting from out of town that wanted to eat on the water but we tried to get into Squid Lips and they didn't allow dogs so we ended up here. We sat and our waitress, Gio, was very brash from the moment she arrived at the table-not sure if she had a bad day but wasn't a great feeling to be spoken to in that manner. She was not helpful with menu choices when asked but made us aware there was a new menu. This being our first time , we asked what she recommended she was not at all helpful stating "it depends what your appetite is" and said "the bowls were popular". My friends both got the clam chowder soup and said it was average. The redneck egg rolls were pretty tasty and came out fairly quickly once ordered. The location is right on the river and is nice for watching the water and boats. The ambiance is beachy and has cute decor. I ordered a burger and paid extra for fries as it comes with chips only -the fries were seasoned and delicious but the burger was just average-nothing I would return for. My friends got the mojo pork bowl that was pretty good and the other burger came with potato salad and was ok. The dog loved her chicken breast and ate the entire portion. I would maybe go back and try a bowl or the tacos but the burgers were not something I would return for and definitely not that particular waitress for her less than kind service . read more

The newly rebranded Squid lips shoreside. I had high hopes but sadly, it's the same old squid lips with a menu makeover. So here's the good, bad and ugly. Hopefully the owners are reading, but I suspect, like most waterfront restaurants rely on the view. The good - the view can't be beat. I saw dolphins with my lunch. The bar tenders and wait staff are super friendly, really good. Great location for large parties, live music. For those disabled, plenty of handicap parking. The bad - when compared to the area, their prices are a mix of confusion. Beers and wine are $4-8, great. Some of their dishes border on the higher side of moderate. I was not a fan of the previous menu, it was disjointed and quality wise was mediocre at best. The new menu has a few previous items, and while a different direction and more unified, the quality still appears to be mediocre. In fairness, I only had shrimp and grits. To use a phrase from jimmy buffet "the shrimp died in vein". "Shrimp sautéed with caramelized onions, over creamy jalapeno grits with crumbled bacon ". This was one of the most flavorless dishes I've ever had. No seasoning at all, shrimp the size of my thumb nail. The ugly - ugly might not be fair. But make a $17 pretzel? $15 coconut shrimp $16 mahi tacos a $15 burger make sense. A pretzel is flour and water. It seems like the owners want to live off the view and cheap out everywhere else. Maybe you are living off the tourist, but as a local, I'm sadly disappointed and, like mulligans, will only stop by for a drink and the view. read more

Awesome food! Redfish, fish and chips, burger, grits, collard greens, spring rolls and more was great!! Service was very good and drinks are not over priced. Great atmosphere on the water with wonderful view. We stumbled on it because the restaurant next door had 40 min wait so glad we decided to not wait!! read more

The food is delicious and plentiful. The chicken teriyaki poke bowl is my absolute favorite. The Fellsmere sandwich, the fish tacos, and the raw oysters are the all worth going back for. The severs are happy and are willing to please. The view of the river is spectacular from inside the restaurant. A great place to just sit back, eat, drink, and enjoy the surroundings. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and I was so impressed. The food was delicious! We sat at a table that overlooked the water - there was live music, our waitress was so friendly, and it was just a great evening! Highly recommend! read more

Everything was okay, more of a lunch menu. I would go for lunch but not dinner Great water view it's very open and airy. Good place for happy hour and laughs read more

We ordered one coconut shrimp dish and one honey bacon wrapped oak grilled scallops. The portions were TINY! There were only a few pieces in each order. We paid $40.98 for almost no food! We were VERY disappointed in this experience. Don't go there! read more

WOW!! Redfish Saloon.... Entire experience was outstanding! What a pleasant surprise as this was our first visit to this new restaurant next to Squid lips in Sebastian. We were greeted fast and seated right over the water for spectacular views of water and dolphins too. The food was so delicious and very well priced. Connor, our server was friendly and very attentive for our special Mother's Day celebration. The large plump bacon wrapped scallops, redfish bearnaise crabcake dinner with jalapeno grits, redneck eggrolls, cajun peanuts, frozen pina colada (mom said was best ever tasted) loaded fried shrimp basket and both sandwiches (Carolina Pig pulled pork and The Fellsmere smoked brisket) were all A-plus!!! We were blown away with the value here. So many great things on this menu I had a very hard time deciding! They offer sandwiches/entrees $10-28, $5 wine, $10/$12 cocktails anytime on regular menu for a waterfront restaurant?! So glad we found such a gem! Beautiful island style new, clean and well-appointed atmosphere. They stated that they offer live music weekends and oyster, drink specials on certain days too. Thank You for a great dining experience! read more

Very disappointed in this place. We thought they were making changes for the better. We did notice that the bar stools were changed and have backs now, which is nice. And where was the music that's been advertised. The food was very mediocre compared to the descriptions on the menu. The prices were high for the quality of the food. Our waitress was attentive and service was good. Of course, the view is wonderful. We had chicken nachos & had to search for the chicken. We also had the Beef Brisket Sliders which we thought would be beef slices, but was chopped beef - ugh!!! read more

The BBQ was excellent service was excellent. Location is awesome lots of seats right on the water with beautiful views.
