My parents had gone to Down the Hatch years ago and it was great. So when me, my brother, my parents and my aunt and uncle went to Daytona for the weekend we had to go to Down the Hatch. Well we soon realized it was not what my parents remembered. We waited for almost 2 hours before we finally got our food. Let me say this, it was 5 pm so it was not that busy yet. When we did get our food our waitress , which had an attitude the entire night, brought out everybodies food except mine and my dads. She then told us our food was ready but she just didn't have room for it on the tray and she'd be right back with it. About 15 minutes later she brought our food out barely warm. My mom had ordered the Blackened grouper ceaser salad and the grouper was good but the dressing they put on it was disgusting. My mom ended up sending it back and the manager came out to talk to her about it and then we told him about the other problems we had had and all he did was make excuses about everything. Then we were fixing to leave, we were already at the front door and I guess the waitress was not happy with the tip she received so she followed us to the door and loudly and nastily said "Thanks guys for the tip, but it wasnt my fault". It was an all around bad experience and we will none be going back and will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This is a great place to eat, drink, enjoy the music and watch the boats go by. We had a great time and will go again and again. We had good service and delicious food.

simply said, the food is great, italian style. Everything is super fresh, the proschuito is simply delicious and the dessert divine.

My wife ate one of the best banana - chocolate cake ever.

We do recommand it a lot.

Say hello to Lina, the owner (with her husband - and cook).

Great seafood and wonderful river view!
