Food was amazing! Gluten sensitive and vegan options was a plus and all laid out on the menu. Drinks & service were fantastic and the tiki bar atmosphere and music was great & not overly loud so we could hear one another and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We visited Tamiami Tavern with a group of 10, and while they were accommodating, we did end up split between two tables—four at one table and six at another in a small room. It wasn’t ideal, but we understood the challenge since we didn’t want to sit outside. Still, the staff handled it as well as they could and were kind and patient, even with some of our older (and grumpier) guests. One downside was trying to get a gluten-free meal for one of our guests. Their pizzas aren’t customizable, and many of the dishes are pre-prepared, so options were limited. A few meals seemed like they had been reheated. For the price, I wasn’t in love with what I got, but it wasn’t terrible either. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was genuinely good. With more flexibility in the menu and fresher-tasting meals, this could easily be a five-star experience.

We went to Leroy's after hearing really good recommendations from friends. The menu is unique and extensive! I asked our waiter (his name was Stax) about gluten free options and he was incredibly helpful and patient in letting me know the best options. I ended up getting the jerk salmon and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. My dad got the jalapeño burger which he said was very tasty and my mom got the fried krab rolls which she raved about and declared them "a new favorite dish". Great food, friendly staff and awesome service, we will be back!
