This is tucked away from A1A and all the noise there. It is located inside the Discovery Beach Resort. We are in our 50's so we were really glad that there was no loud music or live band. The service was good although we had quite a wait for the food to arrive. The pasta special of the night was... More

My husband and I were staying at the resort and decided to give the restaurant a try. We started with the fried pickles which I was looking forward to, not impressed. The dipping sauce was suppose to be spicy, yet we received plain ranch dressing. We also both had French onion soup which was a bowl of soggy herb seasoned... More

Another great steak dinner at Discovery Beach Cafe! Crab legs, blackened salmon, crunchy chicken salad, and steak appetizers are also most excellent. Outstanding place for drinks and stimulating conversation. Frank, Mary, and Carolyn provide great service and a welcome atmosphere. More

We learned of this hidden little restauran on Tripadvisor.com and loved it so much we ate dinner there both nights. They never acted like our kids and related baby/Cheerios mess were a problem, even on New Year's Eve, when they cheerfully booked a reservation by phone for us. The locals love this place and it's clear why. Friendly folks, terrific... More

We stopped by this off the path bar/restaurant and stumbled onto a hot spot. Great food and bartender with a complete grasp of any specialty drink imagined, and we imagine many. Hats off to mary(mgr) and Jenn bartender for a fabulous night. More

My husband & I just finished a delicious steak dinner at the Discovery Beach Cafe. The Filet Mignon was tender and cooked perfectly. I am a bread snob & have noticed that many restaurants are cutting back on their bread offering, if they still offer it. The rolls here were really good & served warm! This restaurant is small &...
