Reviews for CJ's on the Bay in Marco Island, FL
Wow! What a perfect lunch spot for us!!! We ate in the outdoor bar pavilion overlooking the bay. Our server was very attentive... and friendly while we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Gotta try the Marco Mermaid - it?s the perfect island drink!!! The poke wasfantastic - super fresh with crispy wonton chips and three fantastic sauces. The grilled chicken sandwich was one of the bestwe?ve ever had. It was juicy and tender, perfectly seasoned with thick bacon and a soft, sweet bun. This was our first stop onMarco Island and we found exactly what we were looking for! Read more
Great food. We loved the outdoor seating. We were there just in time to watch the sunset right as we finished dinner. The rum... butter mahi mahi was amazing. And the pineapple upside down cake was delicous. Read more
Cj?s on the Bay is always nice for a casual dinner and a drink. The fried red snapper was excellent and so were the coconut... shrimp. The waiter was in a rush but it was fine ( put your apps in first then your main course or else it?s a quick dinner ). Read more
By far one of the best on the water restaurants. After a successful morning fishing we headed back to CJ's to have them prepare... our Mangrove Snappers! The quality of food and the vast array of preparations available make this a must visit! The service isimpeccable! Read more
Had the catch of the day (Grouper) and it was good. Service was good. The view was nice (we ate outside). My only complaint had... nothing to do with the restaurant, it was with other guests/visitors. The people who got seated behind me slammed their chairagainst mine. And two ladies not eating at the restaurant decided to stand near our table and smoke (breeze was blowing thesmoke into our faces). Other than rude people, it was a good experience. Read more
My husband and I had dinner here on Valentine's Day after a long day of touring Marco Island. We did not have a reservation so... we had to sit out on the patio area(which is what we were going to do anyway). We got a couple frozen drinks that werefantastic. For dinner we got the chicken pot pie and the chicken cavatappi pasta(we added shrimp - HIGHLY recommend). We gotthe pineapple upside down cake and the key lime pie. Everything was outstanding!! The service was great as well. We will beback next time we visit Marco! Read more
This place is super busy. I am glad we did the reservation. Harmony was our waitress, she was super happy, great attitude ,... very helpful. All dishes we had were really flavorful and very nicely presented. The soup, the mahi mahi, the salad everythingwas gooood! There are outdoor seats available and that was very pleasant. Great job CJ Team! Read more
We decided on CJ's after looking at restaurants online and taking the advice of a good friend that lives in Naples and has been... there. We had fried scallops for an appetizer, they were fried perfectly and came with a tasty dipping sauce. We ordered theMiami Vice combo Pina colada/strawberry daiquiri, they were running a 2 for $18 special. We expected it to be overly sweet butpleasantly surprised it wasn't, it was tasty & refreshing. For dinner I ordered the CJ's Crab Cakes, choice of soup or salad, Igot salad and also had steamed broccoli with my meal. Salad was fantastic, my crab cakes were amazing and came with a stoneground mustard sauce, these cakes were packed with crab meat!!! Broccoli was also cooked and seasoned perfectly!! My friendordered the fried Snapper, another friend ordered a hamburger. None of us had one complaint about the food, we all walked awayfull & happy!! The only bad mark this place got was our server took quite awhile getting back with our drinks and she said theywere having a staff meeting and she apologized. Didn't blame her at all. Management..you might want to schedule those prior toshift so it doesn't affect customer service. Beautiful place to sit by the water and enjoy a good meal!! We would definitelyreturn!! Read more
