The Nauti Dawg Marina Cafe

Had blackened Mahi was delicious I had cucumber salad that was different had unusual seasoning Wasn't sure what it was.

I've had breakfast/brunch here twice now, and it's been very good both times. I'm not convinced this place makes anything that tastes bad. Service is always on point (that's NJ slang for great). The fries may be the best I've ever had in FL, given they're normally pretty bad down here. If I lived down here I'd come here often. Can't beat the views eating outside. That brunch burger was a delicious, messy, awesome experience. Kinda neat driving in passing all the McManshions.

I returned to the Nauti Dawg Marina Cafe after a disappointing initial visit and though the food was better this time around it still was a sub par dining experience. Food aside there are good things about the restaurant, especially its great location overlooking a marina which is even nice at night time. Also, the staff is great and our waiter was excellent. Much of what I tried reminded me of sports bar quality food just at twice the price. A Lobster Roll was quite average and forgettable and at $38 I expected something better. Crab Cakes were overly fried and greasy and if the crab is fresh it's always best to do a minimum amount of prep. A burger was just okay and the fries seemed frozen. The location is really great but too bad the food wasn't.

The atmosphere is the best part of Nauti Dawg! It's casual and relaxing with a great view of the marina. I also love that they've remained dog friendly and offer a great dog menu. I think the food has improved greatly since my last visit. The eggs and bacon were pretty standard, but I'd highly recommend the side of hash browns. They were delicious! The prices are very high, as you're paying for the atmosphere, so I would say it's a once in a while kind of breakfast spot. The service was pretty good. If you haven't been, it's worth bringing your four-legged friend for breakfast!
