Nice view and cool breeze but nothing else. I went there the weekend of 5/3/14. The beer was warm. The entrees way overpriced for the quality of food. I ordered the catch of the day with rice and plantains. The serving size for my plate was way too small. The fish steak was just a few inches long, the rice problably half a cup and about 5 pieces of sweet plantains. I ended up eating my sons leftovers because I was still hungry. My wife had a salad because she couldnt find anything in the menu that was worth the price. Wont come back! Im still blaming myself for making the choice to drive out of my way to go to this place.

This place is nasty. When the wind blows, the tiki material falls all over your table and into your food. If you are there when it is raining, hope you dont mind getting wet. The servers there call it the leaky tiki. The young female manager is very unprofessional. She is poorly dressed and has a pierced tongue. Because of poor management their food cost is high and thus the menu prices are as well. One time when I was there the servers were having a massive argument. They were in the middle of the restaurant screaming and cursing. One girl even walked away crying. Big miss for me. I will never be back.

Good chicken fingers. Price is high but great place and great people. Kids can buy fish food and feed fish off boardwalk. My daughter loved this. Would suggest you bring some dry kitten food instead of buying the little bags from tiki. Nice open eatery. Alligator came and caught a fish while we were watching. Very exciting. People working here are awesome!!!! Just wish it was a little...well a lot less expensive. Also water is not good there but most people are drinking sodas or margaritas. As long as you limit your food prices you can have a great time. They also have live music on occasion.

Wasnt able to drink for medical reasons and the night only got worse. The advertised middleneck clams were to small with the price too high. I next ordered the Lobster roll for $ 22. I didnt realize I had to pay for the accompaning vegetables. The Lobster roll was made up of totally claw meat. To be honest I get a better one from the Food trucks at Tradition Square for $ 10. The Band was great but I have mixed emotion of trying it again. I feel my money would have been better spent at the Dolphin Bar. My wifes dish was unremarkable but still tipped 20% cause the service was good.

Went for July 4th. The place was very busy and seemed a bit short handed. They should have had more staff for the holiday given the location on the water and the fireworks. Flagging down our waitress was a chore. Food is good but definitely over priced. Two burgers, a side of fries and a coke shouldnt cost $40 with a tip. Also it seems many things are premade, so you cant order things with no onion, or whatever. I would go again for the view, but only to order a side dish and a soda, as they dont even have any appetizers for under $10.

Love the food, staff, and the LOCATION! Right on the water in Downtown Ft. Pierce this "Island style" restaurant has affordable prices, great happy hour specials and great views. On occasion they have live entertainment and its one of the few places where the fish are waiting for some of your small leftovers right off the dock. If the weather is storming, make sure to sit near the center of the building as there are no windows. They do have zip in plastic, but wont always keep you out of the weather or out of the humidity.

Great service! very attentive and professional staff... everyone from the bartenders to the wait staff are very courteous and well-trained.. left a phone charger and the Brazilian bartender remembered to return it to us the next time we were in. ., now thats good service!! The other local restaurants could learn from these guys how to treat their customers Great food also and fabulous music!

Food was great a 5 for that. The waitress just almost ruined the experience. She was rude, interrupted us while we asked her a question, had a look like she was miserable, and didnt get better until she gave me the bill. When I gave it back to her she opened it looked at the tip and finally smiled. She didnt deserve a good tip but I do try to give the benefit of a doubt for servers.

Yes, the entrees and the food was slightly overpriced but you must take into effect the unique character of the location the service was absolutely phenomenal adn, the veiw,when youre looking out on the Atlantic Ocean can you ask for much prettier sight, dont go there guys. Yes it is one I would go to again just because of the uniqueness the ambience the wait staff ,and the people.

We have been here twice and I enjoyed the food both times (and I am a very picky restaurant goer)! I expected regular bar food but theirs was a little bit more "elegant" and well cooked than I expected. A little pricey but not outrageous. Atmosphere is nice, it was busy on a Saturday afternoon, lots of families. Band was kinda lame. We will be back.

Amazing service and great family atmosphere. You can feed fish from the boardwalk while enjoying great music. My wife had the sweet potato encrusted hogfish salad and I had the blacked shrimp and grits. Both meals were cooked and prepared to perfection. Whenever we are in town again we are definitely going to come back and eat here. Great times!

The atmosphear is great! It has a wounderfull view and generally a nice breeze, but the prices are way to high for the quality of food. You pal more for the view then the food itself. With an app, NA beverage and entree you can expect 30,00 - 38,00 a head depending on your selection. This is a nice novelty place to visit once in a while.

Ive been to the original tiki bar many times in the past two years because of the amazing view and great daily specials. They serve fresh fish and shrimp right next to where all the cool offshore fishing boats are docked. Reduced 5 star to 3 because the prices have been raised to the point of ridiculous. Looking for another spot....

Fantastic late dinner 4/15/17. Impressive fresh catch sampler and chicken breast dipped in buffalo sauce sandwich. Our server, Chris, was great. Pleasant live music. The manager, Georgia, stopped to make sure we were enjoying our food and evening. We enjoy coming here and will be back. Live music and great atmosphere.

Travis was our waiter and he was so nice and attentive to all of us at our table. This was our first time there. We were on vacation and when we come back we will be sure and and visit again. Hope travis is still there. He was a joy and made our evening very enjoyable. The food was awesome to by the way.

Ive eaten here several times in the past and thought it was just ok. We ate here just a few weeks ago and we were impressed by the menu changes. Some of the dishes we tried are bordering on fine dining options. Be sure to check out the Spicy Peanut Calamari and the Crab Stack, they are both fabulous!
