I've been here at least 5 times and every time the food and service is amazing. The menu changes and I always get to try something new every time I go! It's one of my husbands favorite places and we came for his birthday. It was a perfect meal and we finished it off with the famous key lime and seasonal apple pie. 10/10

Fishing with Dynamite is always a delight, we love this place sooo much we decided to come for dinner on our Wedding Day. Food always perfect, drinks are sublime, and you absolutely want to save room for dessert (the Key Lime Pie is the BEST, but try the others too). What really sells FWD tho is the service, which has been a 10/10 every time we come here. The inside can get a little noisy but that comes with the territory of being such an intimate space.

Great food, good wine choices, lovely friendly service... but incredibly expensive for essentially a “beach restaurant“. I We ended up paying the equivalent $$$ that you'd find at a top notch fish restaurant in London like Scott's or j Sheekey. Nevertheless if you can afford it you won't be disappointed.
