Stilts Bar & Grill

"We got the bloody Mary’s to start. They were $13.50 and small. The waitress was nice but forgot our 10% discount and had to wait a while to correct it. The food was very good and it was nice looking at the water. Overall nice."

"Stilts is the Marriott's beachfront open-air restaurant next to the pools with direct sightline to the ocean. Food is decent - 3.5 to 4-star. But you're paying for the views and convenience of not leaving the resort. Good selection of drinks at the bar. No generous liquor pours."

"If you are on this beach in Marco Island, this is the place to go. Very convenient to the beach. You do not have to be staying at the Crystal Shores resort to eat and drink here."

"Was very windy and chilly when we visited, our out of town friends wanted to have a cocktail overlooking the ocean, bad choice, the gulf is off in the distance and too far to hear. Service was very slow and an employee keeps visitors from walking onto the sand if your not staying at the hotel, they say it keeps people from using their parking lot to only use the beach, and I do understand, but maybe they can validate parking for guests spending $7.50 for a pint of domestic beers and let us put our feet in sand and take a photo or two. Don't know if we'll visit again because I'm handicap and the stairs are rough for me."

"The food was just average but the view and service made our dinner very good. The lighting is quite odd after sundown. It was so dim I couldn’t read the menu. I suspect happy hour is the best time."
