Great ambiance and a convenient location coming from Kennedy Space Center. Location on a waterway is fitting. Spacious and grand-sized Tiki Hut. The smoked fish dip was excellent with an abundance of veggies. The ceviche was clean and fresh. All Good!

We loved our experience at Dolphins! The kalua pork nachos were to die for. The perfect blend of umami and sweetness with the salty chips. I typically don't like pineapple on savory food but it balanced the nachos perfectly. My BLT was …

Delicious and you can't beat the atmosphere right on the water, watching manatees and dolphins cruise by. Best smoked fish dip I've had anywhere. It makes a great lunch by itself. Update, stopped in last weekend, loved the live music and …

Our waitress was an angel, the food was delicious and prompt, the whole experience gave the vibe of finding a high quality local joint, my kids saw dolphins, and the price was completely reasonable!

This is a great place to go off the beaten path. Its in the resort area but on the water. You can periodically see dolphins, manatees, and many types of birds. The food, service, and atmosphere were top-notch. We will return.
