★★★★☆ 4.0 M Sumner · Jan 2026

Nice staff, nice location, food was ok but I’d say a bit expensive. The cafe is inside the main entrance of tranquility bay resort. We stayed at the hotel and dined here one night we were not super hungry. Everything was cordial and nice… not amazing. Not bad. Just a decent experience. YEMV.

A very enjoyable, and expensive, dinner. The dining room is prettier and cozier than the pics. We started with the beet salad, which is nothing extravagant but still well done, even if the beet was chopped a little too small. I had the Yellowtail Francaise which was a generous portion with a very flavorful lemon caper sauce that complimented versus overwhelming the fish. My partner had the Seafood Pasta which had a good amount of shrimp and fish in a tomato sauce that also complimented without overwhelming. Red wine by the glass options are limited but the two we had - Malbec and Tuscan cabernet - were very good. I was concerned we’d feel like we paid too much and got too little, but it turned out to be an enjoyable splurge.

I have been to this restaurant many times in the past, although not for many years. This last trip there sadly was beyond disappointing. We go here for two things: fresh fish and homemade key lime pie, both were not available on our visit. The only exceptional highlight were the alcohol drinks. Unfortunately this will be our last trip there. Try somewhere else for quality dining at this price point.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and fresh, and Gabby made the experience even better. She was warm, attentive, and clearly very experienced in hospitality, making sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Thank you, Gabby, for your excellent service!

Drove to the Butterfly Cafe while staying at another resort down the road. Food and drinks were really incredible, especially the seafood pasta & filet. Our server was lovely & overall the outdoor ambiance was exactly what you are looking for from a patio meal at a resort.
