Love the decor, the octopus mural is amazing. Presentation of the food was spot on. Flavor was delicious. Everyone was so friendly. Will definitely be coming back. Multiple things on the menu I want to try!

A hidden gem in PSL! This place did not disappoint. Large menu with many different types of food from sea to land to Pad Thai. It's a bit pricey, and be prepared to wait a long time for your food because it is made to order. I tried the Calamari, Shrimp Pad Thai, and the Bacon Burger. The Calamari was so good! Highly recommend. The Pad Thai was amazing, and the burger was good as well. The service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I will be back to try more!

My husband and I went on a date night, and decided to try something new. This did not disappoint!!!! We tried the frog legs, gator bites, mahi tacos, the cod, and blueberry creme brulee cheesecake. Every single dish was a thoughtful work of art! So delicious! This is a Treasure Coast Gem! Dave the owner was very friendly, and was a great host! Definitely an old Florida vibe!

This is a GEM. The only reason I can surmise the restaurant wasn’t packed is because people have no idea what GOOD FOOD is. Their chef is nothing short of brilliant and belongs in a city that deserves her. The menu changes every couple of months because everything is so fresh, creative, unique, and delicious. You’re not going to come here expecting a Millers experience. If you’re tired of the same old menu at the same old places, visit Florida Food Life. This spot has history. Experience. Innovation. Respect for quality ingredients, preparation, and service. By FAR, out performs all the fancy restaurants around, because it has heart, it has ingenuity, without the ego. Visit, you won’t be sorry.

My family kept telling me about all the great food at this restaurant, so I decided to tag along last week when they ate there again. When you drive into the parking lot, you are transported to an island setting with seating outside. It is next to the Shell Bizarre so you can take a picture with the big shell. The restaurant is cozy, but there is lots of seating. Service was great. The waitress and owner were both there and very helpful. It is run by a man and his wife. My father got an aloha burger, and he says that it was a mixture of hearty and sweet. The burger was done to order, and the coleslaw was dressing was surprisingly not overpowering, which he thought it may be because it had key lime in it. I got garlic chicken and rice, which was so good it had just the right amount of garlic taste yum. My mother got the bang bang tacos, and I tried them, and wow, they were good. I thought they would have a spicy kick because of other places that I have gotten anything with Bang bang sauce, but it had a surprisingly spicy but sweet flavor. All food here is cooked to order so it isn't the fastest but it is worth the wait for sure. Everything my family has tried there they have enjoyed. I highly recommend it.

Very chill atmosphere. The food is amazing! Corkscrew shrimp was the best bang bang shrimp I’ve had. I ordered “off the hook”(grits and shrimp/scallops in a wine sauce). Sooo delicious! My sister ordered the Pineapple Chicken Burger. She loved it. The cheesecake Brulee is the best way to finish off the meal! The staff is super patient and very welcoming.

Love this place. Don't let the gator and frog legs on the menu throw you off. They have delicious fish, shrimp and meat dishes too. Their mix of perfectly prepared Asian and Florida/ American dishes offer an amazing selection no matter what you're in the mood for. Just be sure to leave room for their Cheesecake Brule. It's a one of a kind treat that keeps us coming back again and again. Great owners, great service and great food. You really can't go wrong here.

From the people to the food and service, this place was amazing! Our waiter, Alexis, made us feel comfortable and welcome. She was also very informative about the menu. The food was really good, you can tell the chef takes pride in her work. The presentation, flavor, and aroma were all A1. The atmosphere was great. The art, people, and layout of the overall establishment were great. I would easily recommend this place to anyone and everyone, and we'll be back soon!
