Parrot Key Caribbean Grill

Extremely Dangerous Experience – Shellfish Contamination

I had a terrifying and completely avoidable experience at this restaurant. I made it clear I had a severe shellfish allergy, yet my food was contaminated, and I ended up needing emergency rescue and hospitalization due to a serious allergic reaction.

Not only was this a life-threatening mistake, but the staff handled it incredibly poorly. No one asked about allergies when taking the order, and even after the incident, the general manager never offered to void the check or even show basic concern. There was zero accountability or empathy for what could have cost me my life.

This kind of negligence is unacceptable. Food allergies are not a joke, and any restaurant that ignores proper protocols should not be trusted. I hope this review serves as a warning to others with allergies: this place is not safe.

11 years ago, I’ve been here, and then, I’ve been here 11 years later. Still the same old, nice, amazing place I had in mind! Good food, good drinks, nice atmosphere. Would always come back! Nice Caribbean vibes!

Great dinner!

Great food and excellent atmosphere. The Key West Mahi was delicious as well as the Swordfish Piccata. It was well prepared, tasty and the perfect portion size- not too little, not too much. Nice dining by the water, fun and still family friendly. Truly a hidden gem on the east end of San Carlos Island.

The food was amazing. My mouth is watering as I recall the shrimp and grits. Wife had the seafoodPaella, also awesome. Drinks were made perfectly. Outdoor on the water, beautiful. There are air conditioning units set up with fans that keep the temperature reasonably comfortable which is important in SW FLA.

We had a great couple of meals here with standout dishes and friendly service.

Appetizers
We started with some favorites—the Chilean sea bass nuggets were excellent as always. The alligator tail was a surprise hit—the most tender we’ve ever had. The crab dip had a nice flavor, though be aware there’s a slight kick that might be too much for those sensitive to spice.

Entrées
We tried the ribeye with shrimp and creamy chimichurri sauce (rich and flavorful), the Captain’s Catch pasta (bold and spicy), the fried sampler basket, and the Cajun chicken, which was by far the spiciest of them all. Everything was tasty, but we’d probably skip the Cajun chicken next time—it was a bit too hot for us.

Desserts
We sampled all three options: the key lime pie was refreshing, Nana’s cheesecake wasn’t our favorite, and the brownie volcano is definitely one for the chocolate lovers—it was a hit.

The outside feel was our favorite part if this resturant!

The server was awesome, the food great. The atmosphere was not that bad, was hot and a couple of fans wasn’t enough but everything in general was good

Great food, drinks, staff and atmosphere! My family and I go here all the time. It’s definitely our favorite place around!

Great view, friendly staff, cool environment, good food!!

Nice place on the water in Ft Myers. The food was good and the service too. Open Pub and restaurant had a great time will be back!

Live Music, cool atmosphere. I ordered the battered grouper basket and it's ok, but my friend ordered the coconut shrimp basket it's was fantastic, -maybe 10 shrimps and they're big-, also the pina colada was great.
I'm really enjoyed the food and the view. Definitely I'll be back ☺️.
