"Our party was too much for the waitress as she was bartender and waitress, slow getting food out to us. She was very stressed out."

"This restaurant is located inside the Old Port Cove Community, and you can’t go unless you’re invited or you’re a member. I am always very skeptic of restaurants in “high end” areas because they tend to be very expensive even if the food is of average or poor quality. In fact, we had picked a different restaurant for that Saturday night, but our friends, who live at the Marina and had a particularly tiring day, (understandably) preferred to dine close to their home. The restaurant is on a dock with yachts parked all around it and a nice view of the intracoastal waters. The entrance to the restaurant is through their bar. The bar was full of people, while the restaurant was pretty empty. The décor of both rooms is extremely bare and lacks of vibe. After some time that we were seated they brought us water in plastic glasses, which I found a little bit surprising considering that this is a restaurant of a very upscale community. We ordered some cocktails for a toast, which we had to get ourselves from the bar (a customer very kindly helped us) because the restaurant was short-staffed due to an emergency situation of an employee. We’re all very easy going, so that didn’t bother us: we actually had fun in “playing waiters”, and we did the same for our glasses of wine (not a sarcasm: we were really having a good time!). However, the restaurant seemed not to have a plan B at all in case of unforeseen situations. We got a flat bread with truffle oil for the table, which was good and cost the average price of $14. Our entrees instead were very disappointing. I had a crab sandwich that came on 2 toasted buns with French fries. The French fries were the best part but the crab salad was completely tasteless. The portion was big (for me) but… $29? It felt like a robbery, but I must say my husband had it worse: one (1) beef short rib of not so great quality at $34! Needless to say, we’re not coming back: the ratio price/quality is way too off."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem. The water and marina view is so pretty and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Our food was delicious. The N. Palm Beach salad was beautifully presented, the beet salad had a surprise of refreshing citrus, the lobster roll with its generous amount of lobster was perfectly prepared on its toasted bun served along with crispy fries. Don’t forget to order Chef Eder’s special dessert! A chocolate chip cookie served warm in a skillet, topped with a touch of salt and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzle - to die for!"

"This place falls right into my #just_off_the_path_places. Alan puts together a great dish of water side food the atmosphere feel like it should cost more with the water the boats Stop in for a bite you will be happy you did"

"Good food, less than stellar service. It could have been that our waitress was underage or hadn’t been trained properly but she didn’t know cocktail protocols or certain information about drinks (like a martini or cosmo). The food came out quickly and overall was good. Here’s the run down - Wings (we got BBQ) - not crispy, super fatty (more than normal, BBQ sauce had a great flavor Calamari - perfect crispness but definitely not enough sauce to dip for the amount they give you Burger - well cooked and good flavor Fish N Chips - two solid pieces of thick fish which was great (more fish than batter yay!) however both the fish and batter had no flavor North Palm Beach Salad - avocado, sunflower seeds, corn, crab and shrimp were a great combination, but overall the dressing and the dish had zero flavor. Really a bummer because this could have been great. Only true benefit is you have a nice view of the boats and the marina."
