What a horrible disaster! This is by far the worst place I have been to service wise. A reservation was made for about 40 people, weeks inadance for a party, that was thought to be a great place to eat and party afterwards. A phone call was placed the day of the party to make sure that everything was set. When we arrived to the Beach Grill, they didn't have enough seating for the entire party, and people were made to stand around and wait for the staff to correct their error. Once we were all seated, drink orders were taken. The order took forever to get back to the table, so most went to the bar to get their own drink. After waiting nearly an hour and a half, and after two waitress changes, we had our food orders finally taken, not delivered, but taken. When the food was delivered, there were two food runners, who were extremely rude. Instead of asking who had ordered what, they just threw the plates on the table, and told us to figure it out. I didn't realize that we had come there to work that night. Not all of the food was delivered, because one person in the party waited another forty-five minutes for a chicken wrap. After three and a half hours we were finally free from that place. And instead of going to the Aqua bar like we planned on, we couldn't wait to get the hell out of that place. Hopefully, the owner and managers take courses on how to treat people, and possibly retain business!
Pros: good vibe in the summer
Cons: service, parking, management

I've been to this Restaurant & bar side about 10 times. I've had an overall good experience, but I do have to say that it's a bit expensive for what you get. Restaurant: Great Lobster Bisque, fabulous Sunday Brunch w/ omelets to order & every starch (including excellent potatoe casserole) & meat to think of. It's good for lunch, with a good vegetarian sandwich & a variety of unique wraps & salads. Dinner gets pricey, but I've had seafood & chicken dishes here that really weren't bad, worth the price. Bar: I've been on the 80's band night - hysterical & a surprisengly talented cover band! It's a very large bar area & dance floor (and seating areas) & if it's during the summer months they have a spacious deck out by the water w/ an outdoor bar. It can be pretty dead in there sometimes - it's hitt or miss. There's a pretty good mix when there's a crowd though, older & younger people, casual & dressed to the nines....it all goes there. I also thought (when it's busy) that it was a pretty cool atmosphere wtih the boats pulling up to docks, etc. I wouldn't go down during fish fly week, gross!
Pros: Best Lobster Bisque, Sunday Brunch, spacious
Cons: Pricey, sometimes very dead on a weekend night, expensive cover

Let's look at the expense report for the last Friday night I spent at this bar. $10.00 just to enter the bar (which wasn'nt really crowded) at ten o'clock, $7 for a very small cocktail, $10 for a jaeger bomb, and the list went on and on. Not to mention the crowd here is trashy and tired. Furthermore the D.J. belongs in a bowling alley. For the prices this place charges you would think you were in a big city and would expect much more than they offer. Trust me you can find a much better and cheaper place to have fun.
Pros: Bar Size, Location
Cons: Too expensive, Bad DJ, Cover Charge

The place has a great atmosphere overall, but tends to get pretty trashy later on in the evening. If sexy means you want someone to take home that night or like looking at the stripper-type girls who come off the big boats 10 at a time in the summer or guys who wear clothes that cut off their circulation, then it is the place for you. But, if you're a classier individual, I do not recommend staying past 10.

Beach Grill has the best deck to dine out on because it is the biggest one around. it has the bar right there and you can also get off your boat and go right to it.

The Beach Grill is a great place for anything from a birthday, to a wedding - a first date, to an anniversary celebration - a meeting place with the friends, to a place to dock to boat and enjoy the people! The Grill offers a great menu, not to mention a great location - right on the water! Sit on the deck or in the dining room! The salads are excellent, the burgers are phenomenal, and the drinks are out of this world! Try the Beach Grill today!
Pros: Nice Location, Good Food, Hall, Deck, Bar, etc.
Cons: Slightly Expensive, Sometimes Crowded

We weren't looking to dance or to see or be seen; but to take a good friend out to celebrate a birthday! Nonetheless, we had a great meal with very pleasant service - even on a Saturday night with no reservations. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to try the bread pudding because they had run out - but maybe next time. Highly recommend the french onion soup; but avoid the crabcake appetizer.
Pros: Attractive room, French Onion Soup
Cons: Can be crowded, a trifle pricey
