Took my niece here for lunch and we loved it. The ambience was fun, food was good and service was great! (Brussels sprouts are on point and plenty to share)

I would give it zero stars if I could, stay far far away from the food on the menu. I was in party of three during mid day on Saturday, place was not crowded and dock slip service excellent. Got our table and ordered drinks which took a while to arrive but all good. Two of us found something interesting to order, one ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered a brisket sandwich. Chicken was tasteless according to dinner friend. I was first brought a chicken sandwich but told them I ordered a brisket sandwich with fries. They brought out a BBQ pork sandwich with cole slaw which was a combination

The new operators of this restaurant are doing a fantastic job. The wings are awesome. The burgers are delicious. You can tell they really care and are trying to give the best service that they can. Dockside delivery for boaters.

My husband and I had such a fun evening together at Caribbean Marina. The atmosphere was very pleasant, fun yet calm and the lake views were serene and romantic. The food was fabulous as well and I was grateful that they had lots of healthy options for us, and Keto/Paleo friendly items as well. The staff seemed very polite, attentive and professional, which was nice since it is located in such an affluent community and employed largely by teenagers. I highly recommend!!!
