“My partner and I planned an impromptu weekend trip to Islamorada and passed this place on the way to check in at our hotel. We stopped here for a bite and it did not disappoint! Firstly, the manager, Brian, was kind and accommodating. We were the first customers that morning and it didn’t technically open until 11 am, but he sat us anyway being that it was only 10 til 11. We chose a seat outside on the deck, and the view was absolutely amazing. Our waitress, Samantha, was super sweet, attentive, and accommodating. We were checked in on regularly to make sure all was well which was really nice. The drinks were absolutely delicious. We got the Wahoo Punch and Kiwi Seaweed Mojito. We also ordered the Lobster BLT and the Quesadilla Style Shrimp Tacos which were absolutely sensational! Plus the key lime pie is a ABSOLUTELY chef’s kiss ! We are so glad we found this place and will definitely visit anytime we are in town. Highly recommended!!!!“
“Very friendly atmosphere with good singer and dinner by the water. Great service and the waitress even spoke a little French. The food is good and homemade but nothing exceptional. The price, American style, average for this type of establishment.“
“Just an amazing place by the ocean! The colorful decoration and all the little details are beautiful! We had the watermelon salad, lobster fritters (both delicious) and fish and chips! We would go back here for sure! Must be amazing during sunset!“
“Best Cuban Restaurant!!!We’ve tried best Cuban restaurants all over, but this place is by far the best Cuban place.When we went to Cuba (2019), food was nothing like this. This is our happy place while in the Keys.We bring our catch and they cook the way you want. Our favorite way is; beer battered, blacked and garlic scampi style. It comes with 2 sides of your choice.Vaca Frita is amazing, and my daughter always get pepper steak. Their yuca, onion rings, sweet plantains, rice and beans are all excellent.My favorite is blackened scallop and this dish is out of this world! Quality of scallops, portions and flavor is beyond words can describe.Flan and Cuban coffee is the best way to finish amazing meal.We dined here over 30+ times and had amazing meal every single time.As a local resident of Islamorada, I highly recommend this place.“
“Another great breakfast at the turtle with our favorite Angela ! Today I had eggs bacon and English muffin - my daughter had an amazing omelette and husband loves the oatmeal. Our food is always delicious, hot and served with a smile ? thank you turtle ? and Angie ❤️“
“Fantastic brunch! The service was very attentive, and the ambiance was beautiful and scenic for an early meal. Have tables with direct view of the ocean, and beautiful firepit with cafe lights overhead. Went back daily i enjoyed it so much! Thank you to the wonderful staff!“
“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.“
“Found this gem of a place and what a great find! We had 1 of the best times in the keys and had a great time with live music and the bartender Tara was so funny and really made the visit incredible,we only went in for a drink but stayed for the night,we had raw oysters and the biggest shrimp and the best fish dip we ever had!!Thanks for a wonderful time!!!“
“We had dinner here and it was amazing. We sat on the balcony and had a beautiful view of the water. It wasn't too loud and a good choice for our anniversary dinner. I had grouper for the first time and it was delicious. My husband got the skirt steak.Service was prompt and polite. We were warned that this is a busy restaurant so we went early. That is probably my only word of caution.“
