Reviews are solely my opinion from my experience over the 40 years of dining out. As you know, everyday is different, moods and experiences are personal and thatβs what makes them fun.
Ratings are based on a learning curve taking my top favorite places. I am recommending all of the above. The list is not all inclusive⦠so, if you are wanting more variety.. goggle is our friend.

How do you choose? Is view more important? Then go for the most βοΈβs. The food at all is good.
Suggestion, first day in: Nona Blue High Top or sit at outside bar facing road. Afterwards, shop at Publix, arrive at condo ready to relax. You are seven minutes from condo.

As always, Donna's Condo on the ocean is the perfect getaway. Steps from the ocean, a quiet beach and excellent accommodations. I stay here whenever I play TPC Sawgrass and can't wait to come back.
