At first glance, The West Deck looks like your typical sleepy beach joint. But step inside, and prepare for a flavor experience that’s anything but sleepy!

Despite the chill, beachy atmosphere (no pretentious baubles here!), the food here rivals any five-star restaurant. Seriously, our taste buds are still doing a happy dance. The flavor combinations are nothing we’ve ever experienced. The service was simply fantastic; attentive, helpful, guided us in to the perfect time.

For a wonderful selfie, climb up the pseudo-lifeguard tower out front. The beach right out front, with its prefect white sand, is part car-park and part boat launch.

The cocktails here are next-level amazing. The “West Deck Special” is a cocktail experience that will blow your mind. If you are here, and you like mixed drinks, you need to try it.

We ordered a bunch of appetizers, and not a single one disappointed. When we come back we will try a couple entrees for sure!

For a high-end culinary experience with a laid-back beach vibe, The West Deck is where you need to be.

Even Moses himself would likely part the Caribbean Seas to eat here.
