Sorry, not marvelous. Only below average. Nice ambience makes up for it. Just for the fun, not the food

We are big fans of Eaton's Beach ... not for the food, although sometimes it's fine.
Like Simpkinp, we enjoy the ambiance.
The setting is unique and it's got a carefree vibe.

Visited on 17Jul = party of 12 Excellent service and the shrimp and grits was outstanding!

Awesome restaurant. Great atmosphere!!!

Best restaurant in the area. Shrimp and Grits and Fried Chicken among my favs

The food was really good, especially the shrimp creole. Our server was a bit less than attendant but we sat close to the water and enjoyed our view over Lake Weir.

Has anyone tried the new restaurant on lake Weir?

Had dinner there this past week with friends. Great food; terrific view of Lake Weir; and reasonably priced menu. Regrettably...not such good service. The waitstaff could use some additional training in customer service.

don't know if they changed chefs lately -- but we had a late lunch here last week and 6 for 6 people we were all disappointed -- terrible service -- food less than mediocre -- great view -- very unhappy because last season we had some really great meals here -- definitely not worth the trip.

The best thing I have found on the menu is the Smoked Fish Appetizer. The Shrimp and Grits is far better at Hemingway's in my option. It is up to your personal taste, but everyone who has tried both restaurants agree with me. I love the ambience at Eaton's Beach and the fish dip is yummy.
