Aqua Bistro
One of the quieter restaurants in Coral Bay, Aqua Bistro has a casual but elegant atmosphere with an umbrella-spattered courtyard and tiki-style outdoor bar. For lunch or an appetizer, try calamari in a chipotle dipping sauce or grouper fingers lightly battered and served with fries and tartar sauce. Conch fritters are another sure favorite! Or, enjoy a sandwich, like jerk chicken, cracked conch, or grilled Mahi. Dinner plates include chicken parmesan, macadamia down island grouper, and house cut steak.
Shipwreck Landing
When selecting from restaurants in Coral Bay, a great option is Shipwreck Landing. Soak in the view, people, and atmosphere here and indulge in an enjoyable meal with family and friends. A favorite stop for good music and happy hour, Shipwreck Landing offers a great lunch menu with sandwiches like the barbeque chicken or Maryland style crab cake. Then, indulge in a delectable entree such as the curry-nut crusted grouper, Jerkiyaki grilled Mahi Mahi, or classic fish and chips. In between lunch and dinner, try the breaded shrimp, conch fritters, or soup du jour. Then for dinner, try shrimp scampi, grilled ribeye steak, or the pasta of the day. Pair with a golden margarita, passionfruit daiquiri, or pina colada!
Miss Lucy’s
Miss Lucy’s has a true old Caribbean taste with a fresh and flavorful menu. The unforgettable views, however, are the true gem at Miss Lucy’s. Start off with some yummy rum punch and then try the steamed mussels with extra bread to soak up all the mouthwatering broth. Listen to some casual jazz music during Sunday brunch while you watch the surrounding nature, such as lizards and chickens on the island. The Lime in Da Coconut is another favorite drink that you don’t want to miss!
