This place has an extensive menu and is open for breakfast and lunch. We only had a short time, it was crowded so our waiter expedited our order for us. Food was excellent and we're going back. We went there for gluten free food and they had a nice variety of that including pancakes.

This place is absolutely awesome. The food is always fresh. The service can be a bit slow, and honestly sitting so close to other patrons can be extremely annoying, but the experience and food is completely worth it. I also have a gluten intolerance that is flared by processed products, but I am never affected by the food here, indicating that they use whole grain ingredients. If you're visiting, or even live nearby, this is for sure one place you should stop at.

F&B was so delicious!! I wish I live in South Padre Island only so I can go to this restaurant more often. Every single thing we had was incredible. You can tell that Chef Gordon really works hard on his craft. The flavors were well balanced and artistically done. The white truffle risotto was the most incredible dish I have ever eaten. We came back to the restaurant 2 nights in a row, just for it. And as an added bonus for all the celiacs, they have gluten-free bread!
