Coconuts
How to book: none — Coconuts does NOT take reservations; it's first-come, and the dock is first-come too (no dock master). The play: go off-peak (early lunch, weekday, or an afternoon deck drink), or expect a wait at prime brunch/sunset. Arrive by boat and raft up, or by car/foot from the beach. Confirm hours on site.
Best meal: A relaxed waterfront lunch or Sunday brunch on the deck — seafood/American casual with the Intracoastal going by; it's about the setting and the ease, not a formal dinner. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: anyone who needs a reservation or a guaranteed table (it's first-come only) fine-dining-formality seekers diners in a hurry at peak (waits happen) budget-diners expecting cheap-casual prices (it's upscale-casual on the water)
