The Bites section of the menu offers small plates to mix-and-match or share, ranging from the Maryland-Style Crab Cake Slider topped with shredded lettuce and jalapeño tartar sauce, a Grilled Shrimp Skewer seasoned with a jerk glaze and Beach Tacos, filled your way with Carne Asada, Pork Carnitas or Chicken Tinga.

New desserts for splurging and sharing include the Chocolate Hurricane, which is huge and everything the name implies, and Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding made with chocolate chips and fresh bananas.

In true Margaritaville spirit, the menu maintains its signatures ranging from the Cheeseburger in Paradise, a handcrafted choice burger topped with American cheese, lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles and new paradise island sauce to Crispy Coconut Shrimp, jumbo shrimp crusted with coconut and golden fried, served with horseradish-orange marmalade dipping sauce, French fries and cilantro lime coleslaw.
