Lovely restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside on a clear evening. They have a menu at the front for you to look at without being pressured to eat there. The waitresses were very friendly. There is a good choice on the menu. We had the fresh fettuccine with chicken and BBQ burger with beacon. They were both cooked to perfection and very tasty. I tried the pineapple juice without realising it is freshly made. It was wonderful and very refreshing. We had a great meal and would highly recommend.

The reviews were right on. They have an extensive menu and the food was excellent. I went with the waitress recommendation and I was very happy. The service was also great and the views are an added bonus, specially if you sit outside. I will definitely be back to try some of their other goodies!

Had a great time here with my wife! We set at the bar, and the bartenders were super friendly. They talked to us about the menu and recommendations. We started with an espresso martini for her and the pistachio martini for me at his recommendation. Both Martinis are absolutely amazing. We shared the bruschetta that which was really good and tasted fresh, then we shared a Tony Montana sushi roll. Who knew that avocado and plantains on a sushi roll will be good. This was one of the most tasteful sushi roll I've ever had.

We visited Why Not? café and were very pleased with our experience! Our server, Fernanda, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and cheerful. She explained in detail which dishes contain meat, which was very helpful since we don’t eat it. Thanks to her, choosing our meal was easy and pleasant. We started with a pineapple fresh juice — it was natural, refreshing, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The food was absolutely delicious: I ordered the Why Not signature rolls, and they were simply incredible — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also ordered a large seafood portion for three people — everything was cooked perfectly: fresh shrimp, mussels, calamari, and a rich, aromatic sauce with just the right amount of spice. The dish was generous and truly tasty. To finish, we h

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Beatris Sanders · Dec 2025

Just so-so. The food was mediocre, expensive, small portions, lots of room for improvement. You come to this restaurant for the atmosphere, the vibes on the boardwalk, the music. The food, although we spent $130 for three people, we were still hungry afterwards. The poke powl had a mere three ingredients, salmon, avocado and rice, definitely could have used seaweed, sautéed mushrooms and all sorts of add ons, but it was bare, the salmon tasted good, it was just minimal. The sushi was just okay, again, lots of room for improvement on the rainbow roll, the top layer was incredibly thin, barely any fish. And whoa, expensive wine, for basic choices, yikes! Come here to enjoy the view, staff is nice, boardwalk is nice!
