    Bloody Mary spicy  excellent
    Frank C.

    First time here and went for Sunday brunch ,cute with indoor and outdoor dinning, I recommend making calling to make reservations, hostesses very welcoming and pleasant along with the waiter staff, knowledgeable in the menu and ingredients. Everything was prepared fresh and tasteful. Had a chance to talk to the chef and was impressed with his menu and new up coming specials. Smoked prime rib , the smoked ribs I had tried today were perfect with a great smoke taste, and some other new ideas, don't want to let the cat out of the bag. From what I understood the lobster nachos and lobster roll is only served between 2 and 6 pm at the Lizard lounge as finger foods while enjoying cocktails after a day at the beach. We will definitely return and advise on the diner fare.

    3rd Street Cafe called my name because they had a lobster roll on their menu. Oddly enough, the waitress convinced me on the lobster nachos. There was also a picture on yelp with nice good pieces of lobster on the nacho's. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They were tiny itty bitty pieces, like teeny tiny. I was pretty turned off by it, but the management was nice enough to take my nachos back, and brought me back the lobster roll. It was pretty good, I must say. My hubby got a burger and he greatly enjoyed it. All in all, it was a good spot. They have a super cute outside patio as well that is dog friendly. They also have a happy hour as well too. It was at a bit later time than when we got there, so we did not take advantage of it.

    Such a cute spot with good food. It was a beautiful night so we sat outside. We loved the atmosphere with the twinkling lights. I had the grouper - blackened. It was awesome. I would highly recommend it. The service was very slow, but we were relaxed and didn't complain. Even so, the manager recognized the slow service and offered us dessert on the house. The key lime pie was very good.

    I had one meal to enjoy today in Boca Grande and this place really let me down. We entered through the back area, across the patio area. There was one occupied table on the patio and another one inside. So, it wasn't busy at all. Yet it took about 15 minutes to order and receive our drinks... that set the scene for the rest of experience. The fact that it was about an hour before we received our food and three in our party only ordered side salads, was enough to complain about. But considering our party was made up of 6 people, I didn't complain. I ordered the lobster roll and fries as my side. First off... the fries are what I would call shoestring fries, not the waffle fries as pictured in several pictures featured on Yelp. Normally a like thin fries, but not when they are cold. I've not had many lobster rolls in my days, but this one was the worst. The three that ordered the side salads all complained that they were plain and weren't worth near the $9 price tag. One person in my party ordered a BLT and stated that the bacon was very crispy. So, if crispy bacon is your thing, you might like it...

    This beautiful hidden cafe & garden were so wonderful. We had a delicious dinner, and Yvonne's service was terrific! We'd recommend this high quality meal for anyone looking for a relaxed and romantic evening on Boca Grande. (Also dog friendly - always a plus)

    In this restaurant I enjoyed so much the superlative Linguine with clams. It is not easy to find a place in the United States where seafood cuisine remains simple and genuine without the addition of sauces and strange condiments. At the 3rd Street Bistro the Linguine were fantastic, the tastes were well balanced and the seasoning was abundant. As soon as I finished the course I went to compliment the cook (with a bit of a bewilderment from our waiter) and I simply told him that I hadn't tasted such exquisite linguine for years. Boca Grande is gorgeous and the place still deserves a trip just for the 3rd Street Bistro.

    Ok, but very overpriced for what you get as most places on this island. PJ's seaside grill was great for the food and money spent.

The seafood is fresh, simple, and exactly what you want after a day by the water. Their fish & chips were crispy, flavorful, and done right, and everything just tasted like it belonged there. What really makes this place special isn't just the food--it's the atmosphere. Relaxed, unpretentious, and genuinely enjoyable. You can come in sandy, sit back, and just enjoy the moment. It's not about being fancy--it's about good food, ocean air, and that laid-back beach feeling you don't find everywhere. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're anywhere near Boca Grande.

She's 90 pounds and can barely walk. We arrived and I had her with her walker slowly behind me. As I was approaching the host station an elderly man very ru says that I can't bring that in here. I'm confused and thinking he was talking about her walker. As the rudeness continues he finally says that my soda can. As it's pretty much empty I offered to take it to the table to be thrown away. I didn't want to leave it there at the welcome station that had no apparent trash can. I'm thinking germs! He then proceeded to tell me to go somewhere else to eat, those are the rules ect and I'm still baffled by the way he was talking to me as if I'm a criminal and unlawful. I'm baffled that I could be treated so rudely. I obviously didn't want to take her somewhere else as the hour is so important as that's all the energy she has. He could have been welcoming, kind and stayed the drink and I would obliged easily. Instead I was humiliated and disrespected We had a nice waiter and food was fine but as we were leaving the other waitresses on review had apparent chip on their shoulders as well. As if they didn't want to be bothered. I havent been to the restaurant since had reopened and I certainly won't be back! Customer service needs to address this issue!!!!

Delicious topping & sauce. Highly recommend. They come 2 per order and they split them on plates for us since we just wanted a snack (only went in for a drink).

Don't recommend going on a holiday weekend though. What were we thinking? Well the beach had no parking and the streets were very busy. Glad we found a place to park at the pink elephant.
