Open air kitchen made it really easy to watch the cook licking his fingers while eating and preparing food. No I am not making this stuff up. We were horrified, and dinner wasn’t very appetizing afterwards. 0/10 don’t recommend.

We stayed for the weekend at the Ritz. Very Disappointed with the food for dinner time at this particular restaurant. Not sure if the chef was not on property that day or what happened? Octopus was cold, chewy, burned and bland, tasteless. Server was aware. My kids butter pasta was mushy and bland, no salt, no taste of butter. They didn’t like it. My Cesar salad was soggy as if it was made hours ago and served. I didn’t bother to complain about it and thought I would just write a review. Chef should be checking the quality of the food before it goes out to the tables. The bread they served was AMAZING, warm, tasty, pastry chef knows how to bake. We loved eating at their Mexican restaurant though, I had the best burgers there but again that was Cantina restaurant. Breakfast was great at this place but dinner was terrible.

We ate breakfast here for our 8 day stay. We had the buffet each morning. Fantastic servers every single day. Very nice atmosphere too. Omelets especially good from the buffet. Everything on buffet was fresh, beautiful fruit, nice pastries, hot buffet items too like eggs, bacon, French toast, etc.

Bar tender was a jerk. Ordered a glass of wine and a cocktail. Wine was bad. Instead of asking me can I get you something else , he tastes the wine insisting nothing is wrong with the wine. Then he charges me for a extra drink I never ordered. The he has the nerve to add a 18 percent gratuity

Our waiter Hassan was such a sweet man! I came here with my mom and older sister for a nice dinner but left with not only that but top notch service! He made our overall experience at the Ritz Carlton 10x better. Anyone who is lucky enough to be served by Hassan or have a conversation with him would say the same!

The Lightkeeper at Key Biscayne is an absolute gem! ? From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm benvenuto and exceptional service. The atmosphere is incredibly charming and offers a stunning view of the ocean, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal.
A special grazie to Maria, who ensured our experience was unforgettable. Her attention to detail and genuine friendliness made us feel right at home. The food was squisito, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a place to gather with friends, the Lightkeeper is a must-visit. Complimenti to the entire team for creating such a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing place and service was second to none. Hassan was beyond pleasant and extremely intelligent. My wife and I ended up having up a great conversation and making a friendship. We will be back every week. Thank you Hassan and Ritz-Carlton!

Great breakfast on Sunday! Patricia was very nice paying attention to all we needed. The chef cooking the omelet was very friendly. The food was so good. Great experience!
Great restaurant that gives relaxed island vibes, def a top spot in key Biscayne and would recommend to any friend. Red snapper was incredible, 10/10. Chicken was juicy, 9/10. The chocolate fudge (Choco missiu?) thing was also a 7/10. Grilled octopus was like a 6/10 tho, the sauce didn't go well

I like the beach vibe, and there is a large selection of food for all different tastes.
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options were delicious, and the pancakes were also very good.

I had a large group for brunch this past Sunday- about 15 people on total. The restaurant made it so easy to book a space, they seated us in an area that felt near private, we had two very friendly and attentive waitresses, Andrea and Rebecca, catering to our needs, refilling glasses. They were just delightful to have around.The buffet itself was also impressive, outside of the large selection and quantity of seafood, caviars, hot foods and desserts, the quality was also top notch. Everything was fresh and delicious. We were trying to find one item to complain about and truly couldn’t. It was such a lovely afternoon spent with caring staff, delicious food and live music. The singer even sang me happy birthday without the request from my family and friends. Bring your loved ones, it will leave you impressed and feeling all around great. They are kid friendly, pet friendly and even validate parking. We will return again, this was worth every dollar.

We live in the area and decided to check out this restaurant. I ordered the Green Circle Chicken for dinner. The menu described the chicken as charcoal grilled and the potatoes as roasted. As it turned out, the chicken was clearly baked and the potatoes were boiled, the dish also lacked flavor. This was disappointing. I mentioned to the waiter that my chicken was not grilled and his reply was that it was grilled in the bottom of the oven. We will not be returning to this restaurant.
