We have eaten at this place before and liked it so much that this was a return visit. This time, the food and service was sub par. Being expensive, it wasn't worth the price. Maybe we will try it again, but not for a while.

Don't understand the negative reviews. Maybe they have just improved but we had a great experience. Service was excellent and the mahi-mahi special was delicious.  Stunning location right on the sand. Our best food experience during our 10 night stay in Key West.
Appetizers were great, dinner was middle of the road. Prices were expensive but that was expected due to being at the beach. Atmosphere was great being right out by the water. Drinks were overpriced and did not taste that great.

Unlike other times we had dined here, they were not very busy. There were many tables empty. The food took almost an hour, when we asked our server for an update her response was: “it's coming...we have a full house” Food was ok, really nothing to brag about.
Nice place for views and to be outside. Food was disappointing. Had the Mahi Mahi. It was just ok. Potatoes were not fresh. Been under heat lamp or something. Service was good. Nice wine selection
Brunch offerings were very limited. Deserts were obviously store bought. Cold sides were just sitting in the sun with no type of covering or refrigeration. Meat at carving station was warm at best. Way over priced at $60 per person.
Horrible place Horrible food. Their pics on their site is deceiving. Their buffet was terrible and outside sitting in the sun whole flys were sitting on everything. Only a hand full of items and charging 60 per person for horrible breakfast buffet without drinks. Then they automatically add 20% gratuity without telling you. This place is junkyard and a scam. Don't go.
We were there for the “Special” Easter brunch buffet. Eggs were cold. Pastries and bread were stale. For $60 you'd expect some kind of specialty items on the buffet, but it was on par with a free hotel breakfast. The view is beautiful, I will give it that, but even my kids thought the food was gross, which is saying a lot. I almost forgot that someone kept coming by mopping up the floor with incredibly pungent bleach. Complete scam.
We had somewhat high expectations given location and previous reviews. However, it was quite off-putting to find a sign at the hostess stand alerting “CASH ONLY.” Being that we had made our reservation over a week before, a courtesy call to let us know beforehand would have been proper. Carrying enough cash for dinner for four is not the usual for most nowadays, right? The hostess apologized and let us know there was (conveniently) an ATM machine on premise. We asked what was the fee, she said didn't know and then turned to a colleague standing next to her and asked him. He shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I will say our server was very gracious and friendly. That helped our experience. She acknowledged the inconvenience at the end of our meal and extended a courtesy. Our choices of food were good but we had better at other restaurants in Key West during our stay.

I was very disappointed with our meal. The restaurant is a beach bar and not a high end establishment where one would expect decent portions for high prices. The conch fritters were overcooked. The chicken breast I ordered was dry and overcooked. The kale that came on it was like rubber. Of course we then had to order sides to make a complete meal. I felt the meal was worth 30 dollars and not 130!!!
Amazing food and service! The cauliflower appetizer is my favorite! The calamari and octopus are very good too! Fresh catch of the day was the best! Nice ambiance and delicious food- I would recommend it for sure!
We had high hopes for this restaurant based on recommendations, a perception of higher level of experience and the fact that they can prepare your catch. However, we were pretty disappointed to learn that it it not that much better than your average place in town and lacked the details that would have made it a great place to dine on our last night. Our waitress/bartender had to google how to make a French 75, predictably it was not great. No one explained the provenance of our oysters, they were not shucked, and a couple were off. The yellowtail we brought was delicious, but we were slightly put off by the fact that you can only have it done one of three ways, grilled, blackened, or fried. Not bad choices, but everyplace does that, and I think we would have valued talking to knowledgeable staff on how best to prepare, or if we had other options based on they type of fish or Options to incorporate into menus selections. The sides were not bad, actually. The coup de grâce for me was the Maraschino cherry in my Appleton Old Fashion. It's fine on a Shirley Temple, but If you are going to charge a Premium for a drink, please use a Luxardo cherry. Overall, meh. I suppose when you are on prime waterfront real estate at a location that most people will come to once, maybe twice In their lives you have little incentive to try too hard.
I cannot find a more beautiful on the beach location to enjoy a wonderfully prepared dinner. The service was friendly, attentive and professional. The Mahi Mahi was flaky and juicy. It felt like a dinner on a Caribbean island. It was pricey but worth visiting. Enjoy!!

We had an absolutely delicious meal at a table close to the beach with a beautiful sunset view. As I don't like spicy food, they were able to accommodate me and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of our trip. The wine pour was very generous, too!

Worst experience in a very long time. To begin with the food was so not good. Plain boring salad, salmon drenched in a crappy sauce. Service very slow but worse we ordered an app and it never came. Server blamed back of house and talked about how they always mess up. Yet he brought app plates to the neighboring table arriving after us. Clearly he forgot to put in order. Thencjdt shrugs. No let me take care of this. Or we or I messed up and will get you a dessert. Manager never came to check but hit all the other tables. Server never returned except for the bill after learning he messed up. The reviews are accurate about this place losing it.
