We’re overdue for a proper introduction!
We’re Bri and Ryan Wagoner, the new owners of Bonita Beach Balloon Bar & Grill. We’re sorry it’s taken us a little while to introduce ourselves… we’ve been busy getting everything ready for season!
Taking over the Balloon is quite bittersweet for us. We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Linda and Jim, and we truly wish they were here with us. This place meant so much to them, and we’ll do everything in our power to carry on their vision and keep the Balloon a place where everyone feels like family.
You won’t see us at the restaurant every day, as we’ll be managing from afar much of the year. However, we’ll be closely involved, working with our team and putting plenty of time and heart into the Balloon. We look forward to visiting and getting to know more of you along the way!
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please email or message us. We want to hear from you! We’re here to listen, make improvements, and help make the Balloon an even better place for our guests and team.
To our staff, regulars, and everyone who has supported the Balloon over the years: thank you. We’re grateful to share this next chapter with you and excited for the season ahead!
Eat. Drink. Stay Beachy.�Bri & Ryan Wagoner
