Very good lunch.
After a somewhat disappointing visit with friends for appetizers on the deck a few months ago ($12 glass of wine, so so appetizers) my friend and I enjoyed an excellent lunch recently. My friend had the fried shrimp with fries, and I had the salad with grilled grouper. Both were excellent and I look forward to my next visit to The Surf.
Don’t fall for the hype.
Went twice. Sorry I did. Had only one good meal and it was a salad. Service was non-existent - too busy chatting up other servers to tend to customers. Couldn’t even get a second drink. Ridiculously loud band on Saturday night. Don’t fall for the hype.
Good place
We ate with a party of 10 and a dog. Our waiter was fast and our food came quickly. Nice to sit outside and listen to music. Our food was pretty good, not great, but I’d eat there again.
Good spot, dog friendly.
Dog friendly with indoor and outdoor dining. Across the street from the beach but houses block most of the view. I had fried shrimp and waffle fries, very good. Wife had a veggie burger, a little bland. No entertainment that evening. Lots of tv screens around. Menu had lots of options. Good place.
Decent place for a meal
Grouper was good. Pirate burger was very good, as was the pirate punch. Jalapenos margarita was not good (too much margarita mix). Good option if staying at the hotel across the street. I would go back.
