Cj's On The Island

This is a delightful restaurant at the edge of Gulfport, in fact because it's not on the main strip we've missed knowing about it. It is a great find! It's casual but a touch of class with white tablecloths and dish and glass settings. The food is Mediterranean and Moroccan. They have a very good wine and cocktail list. The menu covers a lot of ground. We started with the Tuna Martini, which was fresh Ahi tuna marinated in Pearl vodka and spicy hot sauce. It's served in a cocktail glass over seaweed and the plate has a wonderful sauce and wasabi. It's pretty special and delicious! We also had the escargot which was in a herb butter garlic sauce.

We ate here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We really liked the place. The service was great, and the food was very good. We went back about a week later to try the early bird, and it was terrible. My wife ordered the fish dish, which was probably less than four ounces of fish. I ordered a pork based stew, and that was also very small. Worse though, was the pork tasted like something coming out of a can. I would suggest, if you go, don't get the early bird specials.

I’m so glad I discovered this Moroccan restaurant! The service was excellent and the location is lovely, right across from a small park with a walking trail that's perfect for a stroll before or after your meal. The food was delicious, and if you're looking for something a bit different, definitely ask about their meat specials. I can’t wait to go back and try the camel!

Underwhelmed. Service was fine and the food was so-so, but for the price paid, we know we have better options elsewhere in the Gulfport and Saint Petersburg area. If paying that much for dinner, I want more flavorful food. Overall, everything was very bland. Can't really speak to ambiance as we dined outside. Nothing egregious here, just very expensive for bland food. Reserva una mesa ahora

The shrimp appetizer in a Moroccan sauce was fantastic. It was a special and not listed on the menu, so I apologize for not remembering the name. The La Zappa was also excellent and came in a generous portion. The seafood crepe was outstanding as well.

Food was OK, they don't know the difference between a rack of lamb and lamb chops. 3 lamb chops for the price of a whole rack!! Very over priced for what you've get. No reason to go back for over priced meal.

Absolutely fantastic! Great service and wonderful food. We come to this hidden gem every time we come to St Petersburg. The seafood crepe is my favorite and the filet will not disappoint! Go now....

Excellent food! Terrific early bird deals. Everything made in house including fabulous salad dressing (not something I usually get excited about! . Always make a reservation. Reserva una mesa ahora

Disappointing experience. I had dined here before and it was excellent, but the new location lacks atmosphere and the food was not up to par this time.

Went last night with a party of 6. Liked everything about it, from the food to the service. A great menu with so many options.
