    The food and ambience was exquisite. The GroupMe was as the best I’ve had in my whole life. Crispy, with amazing flavor throughout the fish. Well done! The risotto was perfect as well. This is our new favorite restaurant in Florida! Absolutely amazing! We will be back!

    Always fantastic! Livy, our server/bartender was great. If you have a chance to go to Happy Hour at the Bar! A smaller menu but the same great food for a great price. We started with the New Old Fashioned and Pear Flower Martini. The Old Fashioned was perfect with a few additional bourbon cherries! The Pear Flower is lighter and sweeter, but she made it less sweet and my husband loved it. He also tried the Manhattan, which he enjoyed. We love the Caesar Salad because of the Eggplant Croutons and very tasty Caesar Dressing - nice and garlicky. We shared the BBQ Duck Flatbread which has a nice sweet tangy sauce, and the Burger Quarters. My husband added Blue cheese to the burger, which was a little too much for me, but it’s perfect without! Always a great meal!

    Always a great experience at Emerils! This is one of our favorite date night spots and our second time celebrating Valentines Day here. The food and drinks are always on point! Our service was a little slow but that was to be expected on such a busy night. My husband and I took the extra time to enjoy each others company without disruption. I heard others around us complaining about the slow service so we were extra patient with our server. Can’t wait for our next date night here!!

    This is my second time here and the vibe and ambiance was just the way I remembered. First time coming here was when the restaurant first opened and our most recent time was in Valentines Day. The weather was perfect and we ate outside. My husband had the carbonara and I had the chicken parmigiana; let me just say 10/10. As you wait for your food they provided bread with garlic olive oil which so super yummy! Service was 10/10 and we had our 5 month old with us so they always made sure we were okay especially our baby girl! Thank you for the memorable first Valentine’s Day with our first child ❤️❤️❤️

    Another amazing experience Beach Walk Cafe! These folks go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. From the time you enter the front door until the time you leave, you will be treated like royalty. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere, especially outdoors, is amazing. I can't think of a better place for a dinner date. Thanks again BWC!!
