Coconuts

My co-workers and I headed to this place on a Tuesday night.  I had read previous reviews about long wait-times and let me say, they aren't lying.  We arrived a little before 7 and were told the wait would be about and hour and 10 minutes.  I timed it because I am weird and do stuff like that.  We ended up waiting around an hour - thank goodness their were delicious drinks at the bar to keep us occupied.  The people watching was good, too.

Paella - it was Paella night and we sat directly in front of the Paella chef as we waited for our table.  I couldn't take it anymore and I asked if I could have a taste.  He said yes, thankfully, and it was truly a moment of bliss.  The rice was soft and flavorful, my bite of chicken was tender, and the chunk of sausage was spicy.  I couldn't wait to order an entire plateful of it.  Of course, they ran out when we finally got seated - lame.  But, that one bite got me.  Heaven.

Alligator Ribs - whenever someone says, "it tastes like chicken," I feel that it never does.  In this case, it did.  They were tasty, but I would save room for something else (perhaps something listed below).

Fish Tacos - the waiter said my fish taco order was "boring," but I thought they were quite lovely.  The fish was tender and juicy; the taco as a whole was just awesome.  I added some Siracha sauce to give it a little kick.  I really liked these tacos - simple and fun.

Chocolate Pretzel Pie - I was not aware something like this existed.  Now I am sad that I know about it because any thought of a diet is going straight out the window.  The choco-pretzel pie is just that: a pretzel crust with a creamy chocolate filling.  It was quite rich, and it made me clench my teeth together like when something is very sweet.  After that first bite, I was hooked.  I've been looking up recipes for this pie all week.  I need it.

I really, really loved this place.  I am for sure going back, but maybe at a weird hour, so I don't have to wait so long for a table.  YUMMMMMMMM!!!

Fantastic crab cake.  I'm from Baltimore and it's one of the best that I've ever had in my life.  Reasonable deal to get it on the salad, but not much else stands out since it's just lettuce and dressing.  They could even add basic items like nuts, cranberries or something that would add more complexity to the salad.  Then again, the subtle spice, lump crab meat and the right amount of breading will make you forget about other pieces of the meal.  Good vibe on the water overlooking the boats.  A bit more low key than restaurants on the strip by the beach.  Overall, a nice spot if you are in the area.

Great view, fun place. Food was above-average for sure, prices were too.  Our waiter was excellent, attentive and knowledgable.  For a fun time and beatiful views, it can't be beat.  

Tip: be prepared for a significant wait, even weeknights.
