Runaway Island

Adorable, cozy and worth the price! I love the cute shop that is at the front of the restaurant. It features beach themed jewelry and classy, unique things. I was cedar right away and found the view of the ocean beautiful just like everyone has been raving about! The service from the multitasking bartender was impressive and efficient. I chose the grilled grouper with mashed potatoes and a half a dozen raw oysters. The grouper was perfectly done, nice and moist. The oysters were fresh with the homemade cocktail sauce on point!

Went at 5pm on a Friday (as well as following Saturday) and were sat immediately both times! We were sat at the beach seating each night and were able to watch the sunset during our meal. Every dish we ordered was amazing and the drinks were great too! There is a very cute boutique here to shop after dining. Our server Nat made the experience outstanding, so much so that we requested to be served by them the following night as well. Nat had a great knowledge of the menu and had the best recommendations. We are so appreciative of Nat’s friendliness and ability to create such a memorable experience for us. Thank you Nat!!

We dined here on a Sunday late afternoon, we were greeted and seated promptly. We chose upstairs (indoors) and had a perfect table location. Jake our server was attentive, cordial, and amicable . My cocktail, Raspberry Berret, refreshing and well prepared. For starter we ordered the Caribbean Chicken Bites, what a great dish to start a good dining experience. For my main course I combined the Crab Cakes (appetizer) with Mashed Potatoes; the crab cakes fresh and cooked to perfection! Great choice. To finish our dining experience we ordered the Fudge Brownie; Yummy!!! It is a very busy and popular place, and there is a reason why; great food, good service paired up with a view of the sea. We will definitely patronize this establishment again.

One word: DEVIN! She is amazing from start to finish! We visited the venue and knew as soon as we left it was the one. The view of the beach, the wood floors, tables and lights hanging from the ceiling… just amazing! During the tour Devin explained everything in great detail. She answered every question we had and others we hadn’t even thought of! We live in Colorado so having her as the venue coordinator was a huge plus. Any time I had a question she was quick to respond and put my mind at ease. It was all so stress free because I knew Devin had it all handled for me. We booked the Ballyhoo Room for our reception and the beach at Runaway Island for our ceremony. It rained the day of our wedding but magically stopped for just the amount of time for the ceremony and pictures. Devin stayed with me until it was time for me to walk down the aisle. She tracked the weather on her phone and continuously kept me updated. Her team of servers were amazing as well. And the food… oh man the food… we served the buffet, mahi mahi, chicken Alfredo, mashed potatoes, etc… everything was so good and all of our guests raved about the food and the service! It was so delicious! Devin and her team worked to make sure every small and big detail was covered! Tables and chairs were setup how we requested, when we came up to the reception Devin got us drinks before heading in for our grand entrance, appetizers were at our seat when we arrived to the reception, they offered to fix our plates and continuously checked on us throughout the reception making sure we had everything we needed. Our wedding day was perfect because of Devin and her team. We highly recommend Runaway Island for your wedding or any celebration. You will not be disappointed!

From the moment we walked in until we walked out the customer service was A+ the ambience was so nice being on the beach, and the sunset bell gives you an opportunity to go out on one of their decks to take a sunset photo if your there at that time. The drinks and all the food we had were all delicious. I had the Bye Felicia 3 rum drink, appetizer was the Baja rolls, so good, our entrees were the blackened Mahi and Chicken tacos, both good and we both had the yucan mashed potatoes, also good. Highly recommend this place!
