    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!

    Went for a date night and have never been before. Restaurant is large but considering the size it’s not overly loud. Waitress was amazing, made great suggestions. Our food was also amazing! We had the smoke fish dip, grilled salmon with sweet potato hash and the grill tuna with whipped potatoes. Both of our plates were completely empty when we were done. Prices are comparable to any higher end restaurant, especially out at the beach with seafood. Definitely recommend and will go again.

    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!!
