    Was a customer on Halloween nite at St. Armands Circle. In all fairness it was a zoo! However, they lost our order and we had to wait an inordinate amount of time for our food. It was delicious, server was apologetic and we can highly recommend.

    Thanks for your patience, Mary. Halloween is a big night, but we still need to perform. Thanks for giving us the benefit of the doubt.

    Great food for us and the kids. We sat outside and there was plenty of room for the kids to move. Great margs. Great tuna & grouper tacos. Service was a little slow but everyone was very pleasant and the live music was enjoyable!

    We had to wait for about 10-15 minutes before a server came to our table. After that, service was reasonable. We enjoyed our main courses (Ahi tuna salad, and a half rack of voodoo ribs) but we have had better conch fritters, our choice for appetizer. I can’t, in good conscience, recommend the place.
    Cha Cha Coconuts SarasotaResponded on August 19, 2026
    Han, we clearly underperformed at your table. Please DM your contact info. We'd like our chief of operations to speak with you about your visit so we may improve our training.
