Fillet mignonette with bernaise sauce was outstanding. Cliquot champagne never disappoints. Also the catch of the day, yellow tail was fantastic. Our waiter was wonderful as was the rest of the staff. Highly recommend!!“

“Stopped in for dinner during the week. The setting here was awesome! All of the tables were setup on the beach to watch the sunset. My one recommended, if you want a table in the front closet to the water make sure to call for reservations. However, all of the tables had a good view.The food was very good. They had a wide selection on the menu. It was served hot, and the presentation was good. Most importantly the food was excellent.There is plenty of parking and it is easily accessible from the main road.“

“Hands down best food in Islamorada. And you must see the Sunset Lounge upstairs. Gets packed early and they close before closing time because waitlist would go beyond closing time. But go in and see if seats at the bar or eat off small menu upstairs. Get the Empanadas!!Wait, everything- So, so worth it!!“

“Solid and consistent breakfast spot that's open early before you start your day in the Keys. Family establishment with very friendly staff and well executed breakfast. Menu is broad and everyone will be happy with the selections. Omelettes are eggcelent (I had Popeye and Western), gravy and biscuits are solid choice. Coffee is good and the place is full of locals and tourists and everyone is welcome. Highly recommend if you are in the area.“

“One of our favorites...we always enjoy the great food and atmosphere at Wahoo's. Samantha was our server, she was cheerful, efficient, anticipated our needs. She really seemed to enjoy her job.Parking: Parking luck depends on the time of day...it can be a challenge.“

“In my opinion, this restaurant has been for years, one of the best in the area, excellent food and service, the view from their outside sitting facing the ocean is amazing. If you're an oyster lover, this is the place. They always have several kinds to choose from.“

“Amazing fresh bagels! definitely get yours toasted and use one of the specialty cream cheeses. This is a wonderful breakfast spot, delicious muffins, bowls and pastries as well but the bagels are not to be missed! Great mural on the wall if you’d like to take photos.“

“I had such a memorable time here I didn’t even remember to take a photo or the delicious food or anything! I had the dish with key lime butter sauce and it was AMAZING my daughter ate her entire plate & she usually doesn’t eat fish! I was so impressed, the service was amazing and the sweet tea was amazing as well they have a big selection of drinks and wines and cocktails!“

“We visit Sunset Lounge whenever we are in Islamorada. It is our favorite place for tapas and drinks. The bartenders, especially James, are very accommodating and always make sure you are enjoying your time there. James wants to always ensure that your drink meets every expectation. I specifically like when he makes me something special for me to try. I highly recommend the Sunset Lounge and Square Grouper. Be sure to ask for James upstairs.“

“Food was really good. Some of the best blackened mahi I've ever had. My boyfriend loved the peel and eat shrimp. The soup surprisingly was too spicy for me but my boyfriend said it wasn't for him so he finished it. Awesome view sitting outside. Server was very patient and helpful and nice.“

“Best bbq I’ve had in years!!!!! Worth the visit 100%“

“Chef Rico will give you the Cook Your Catch experience of your life. Amazingly talented, he took our fish and turned it into a 5-star meal!! Far beyond expectations, seriously just absolutely incredible and a lovely experience. If you're fishing in Islamorada, do yourself a favor and bring your catch to Chef Rico at ReelCatch.“

“A beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean and a very swift service by the pool. The wings and the tuna nachos were a great appetizer before we fished off the pier. The make a really great margarita at the bar!Parking: Once you enter the resort facility, go to the left and there’s a gravel parking lot in which to park for the restaurant or for visitors.Kid-friendliness: It’s a family resort and has a restaurant at the pool with a bar and chairs with umbrellas to sit under. Bathrooms are located across from the bar to the right near the painted wall with the green eel and other colorful fish wall art.“

“We started with the Oysters, Rock Shrimp tempura, the ceviche and Chicken wings. The oysters were really good. They felt fresh. The shrimp came with a sweet sauce and the perfect mayo sauce. Someone in the table said it reminded them to the one in Nobu (I've never been there so I wouldn't know) but that's just how good it was. I hated the ceviche, it tasted weird. For entrees we ordered the Florida crunch salad, Spicy tuna roll and Yellowtail roll. We requested the cucumber removed on the spicy tuna roll and for some weird reason the server said they couldn't. Both rolls were delicious. Pretty simple, just how we enjoy it. The salad has all this crunchy items on it, that you actually enjoy eating healthy. Also the blackened shrimp that we added to the salad was $10 usd and it literally came with 3. For dessert we ordered the Banana Fried Roti and I promise you I will come back just for this. Vibes in there were amazing, they had live music. It's a nice, clean and well kept place. Our server kind of sucked. The place is on the pricey side, but just like everything else in The Keys.“

“Bartender was great, drinks were cheap, huge place and always crowded. However, they won’t control the jukebox box and some idiot put as priority of an entire album of Drake! It was a nightmare. No where in the entire place could u get away from the pounding nightmare music and everyone was miserable but they wouldn’t bypass it or turn it down. It ruined our night. Ohh food was good too.“

“We have been going to Marker 88 for 25 years. The newly remodeled facility is all outside and fabulous. The food is wonderful. I had the hogfish special and an infused rum drink. We took our Golden Doodle and we were seated right by the nightly singer. What an incredible experience.“
