After spending almost $300 for lunch, which BTW was worth it, me and 8 of my friends decided we would take a quick walk to the beach. No, we weren't staying at the resort, we boated over for lunch. As we came back from the beach, some low life security guard made it evident that we had no right to walk along the beach. Apparently we walked past a private condo to get to the PUBLIC beach. We obviously weren't criminals, we just wanted to see the beach. Anyway this security ass, got very aggressive, took off his sunglasses and acted like he wanted to fight. I live in Englewood and take my out of town friends to rum bay every time they come south for a visit. I have literally spent thousands and thousands of dollars at their restaurant and gift shop. It's an unique experience to visit a restaurant that can only be reached by boat. Let it be known that me and my wife and all of our many friends will never go there again. People who spend $50 dollars each for lunch are extremely unlikely to vandalize or rob or harrass guests at their resort. That "guard" should be fired because he alone cost this organization a lot of revenue. Additionally, I will let all of many Englewood friends not to patronize rum bay. As a member of a local organization, my word will carry much weight. Too bad because it isn't the restaurant's fault but instead the assinine policy of the resort. No one I know will stay there or even visit there again. Good luck and for all who read this, be warned. I'm sure if a response is provided it will dilute the real problem here. Bottom line, the people who run this resort - Palm island - have no appreciation for their own customers. I suggest many other places to spend your money such as cabbage key or north Captiva, for a better experience and better food.

We loved the waterfront dog friendly area which was well shaded and we were lucky to have a breezy day. We didnât wait long for Shelby to great us and we placed our order. There were water bowls for the dogs and there were several tables with well behaved dogs. We waited a while another table that came in after us got their food. Then Shelby came and told us our order was dropped or lost. So we waited way too long to get our food. They touted their smokehouse so I ordered the smoked salmon, but it wasnât very smoky to me. The cheese jalapeño hush puppies were rather tasteless. The grilled chicken sandwich was nothing special. So glad it was a beautiful day.Thank you for mentioning our Dog friendly area which has been a hit with dog owners. I apologize for the wait you might have experienced. I will share your food comments with the kitchen and investigate the issue with your wait. I hope you will give us another try to win your business and see you again soon.

We were pleasantly surprised when we returned to Prime recently...the decor was in the process of changing. Learned new owners, must be a good thing...friendly and efficient staff and delicious food. I'm sure they'll get the decorating finished and be a great place for locals and tourists to enjoy the atmosphere and food.Thank you so much for your comments. We appreciate your business and we're glad you enjoyed everything!

We visited the SandBar at lunchtime on the first day of a citywide restaurant promotion during the normally slow month of September. A nice number of people were there on a 90-degree day. We were impressed with the special menu selection and chose a Caribbean turkey burger and the smoked salmon sliders, the latter of which were definitely not ordinary bar food! The turkey burger was very good, filled to overflowing with condiments including cole slaw, which made it tasty but messy to eat. Unfortunately, the sandwich was missing the grilled pineapple ring that was listed. The salmon sliders were a real surprise: small folded brioche rolls filled with rich smoked salmon and tzatziki sauce--delicious! The fries accompanying both were fresh, hot, and seasoned nicely. We both chose peach cobbler for dessert. Although it was very good, accompanied by a generous scoop of ice cream, using a smaller bowl and about half the amount of pastry would have been an improvement. We complimented the manager on the special menu items, which were all on trial for addition to the regular menu. We thought it was a smart idea to allow the public to sample them during a promotional period. Although the location is a bit of a drive for us, we'll be back to this restaurant.

Truly a disappointing dining experience. Read the menu throughly 4 times and couldnât find anything that looked good. Several of my favorite entrees were prepared in such a manner that they were unappealing. My wife had the Lobster Roll that she rated a 4 on a zero to 10 scale. Fried Grouper was way over fried and had a thick coating. French fries right out of a bag of frozen French fries and tossed in the deep fryer. Friends had prime rib and shrimp and grits and they stated that it was nothing special. My honest opinion is that this is an overpriced restaurant with below average food. Several near by places are much better.

If you like good food and live Blues music, you will love this restaurant! We always order the pork schnitzel and it's consistently crispy and tasty. It's better than at our favorite German restaurant. Our server Stephanie was excellent. The owner Tony is always on site and friendly. It's really nice when everyone seems happy to see you and thanks you for coming.

Went there for dinner. Had no reservation and although it was busy we found a table outside. Parking is available but I parked in the beach car park opposite which costs 75c an hour. To keep customers cool there are water spray fans. There is a bar area with sports on TV but the sound is low so it doesnât affect non viewing customers. The menu was mainly seafood but there was also steak and chicken. Service was attentive and the food top quality. Portion sizes are generous so sharing a starter is probably a good idea. A pleasant change from the usual restaurant brands.

Stopped by after the beach and found this hidden gem. I had the salmon flatbread that was so amazing. My husband had the kobe beef sliders that were cooked to perfection! My mom had the chicken salad wrap that was such a big portion she couldn't finish it all. Our server was Tyler and was very knowledgeable about the menu and great wines. The manager Tracy stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. Don't always see that at many restaurants. We will be back. Highly recommend. Oh and Stop by the boutique adjacent to the bistro. There is something for everyone.

Weekly visit last night. Always excellent servers. Tonight had the pleasure of Denise waiting on me. The whole staff is awesome from, hostesses, managers, bartenders food runners, and The always awesome owners Ken and Brian. Loving the new menu especially being able to have lunch anytime as not always feel like a meal. But The two for $44 or single for $22 dinner specials are a great deal. Well done.
