My dinner tab (before tip) that fed 2 to the point of being stuffed was $57.00, it included:

Smoked Fish Dip
Gumbo (bowl)
Shrimp - n- Grits
Sunshine Orange Cake (slice)
3 - beers (full pints of New Belgium Brewing - Fat Tire)

For the quality and quantity of food / beverage and the overall excellent dining experience, I thought it was a very fair value. I will return, prob in the once per month range ... maybe more for just drinks in the down stairs bar on the beach.

We had 3 appetizers, two wines and two margaritas...$66.32 with t&t. Very nice view. Food was good, but for that, I will go to Harry's in Ocala.

We were there Tuesday. We had 3 beers, 2 sodas, cup of soup. burger, and something called a midnite ( ham, Swiss cheese and pork). Bill was $38.46 before T&T. Service was great. Food was good. Watching some guy and gal get their boat out of a boat slip in a strong wind was priceless. Will go back.

We had dinner at Eaton's Beach yesterday with friends. What a wonderful location, upstairs on the deck overlooking the water. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was very, very busy. We all enjoyed our food.

After it got dark, we wandered downstairs to have a drink right on the beach. We had no idea at all it was scheduled, but there just happened to be a parade of boats decorated for Christmas. What a great surprise! There were lots of children playing on the beach with hula hoops. Beautiful location, great weather, wonderful ambiance. It was magical.

Default Eaton's Beach Excellent Value

Four of us just had a really enjoyable dinner overlooking Lake Weir. The food was perfectly portioned and expertly prepared. Service was fun and fast. Try the shrimp n grits and the sweet fried chicken n waffles.

Just looked at the menu online and prices seemed not out of line at all. Many selections were at $9.99 and $10.99. I think I'll go too!

What really drives up a tab is the appetizers and the cocktails...but we all know that already.

We were just there. $2.00 beers during happy hour. The food needed a little more spice, but the place was nice.

We ate there last week, $2.00 beers at happy hour. I had pasta and thought it needed a little more spice but will go back.

Had lunch there was reasonable for a hamburger and pastrami sandwich. Friend also has a berry martini. The martini was $9.00 that's outrageous. Happy hour is 3 to 6 might be little less.....

A $9 martini in a shack might be outrageous, but a $9 martini in a million dollar restaurant with picturesque waterfront views, bonfires on a sandy beach and talented, personable waitstaff is quite reasonable.
