Four Marlins Oceanfront Dining

What a catch! My party of four had a delicious lunch of fish tacos and fish sandwiches. Flavors were spot on. The pineapple jalapeño margarita was exceptionally well mixed, and had the perfect spicy kick. We had an incredible view of the beach and ocean. The traffic was steady, but relaxed.

I am not sure what’s better the amazing food, the attentive service or the spectacular ocean view. This place checked all the boxes for a relaxed atmosphere, refined menu, servers who make you feel right at home, and the soothing sounds of the ocean to tie it all together. Pro tip: order the key lime pie 😍

From the food to the service, this place is so lackluster and bland, big time avoid. We dined here for weekend brunch, which was overpriced and seriously without taste. I had a seafood cobb salad with blue cheese, though there was not a speck of blue cheese on or in it. How does someone take the taste out of lobster?? My boyfriend had steak and eggs, the steak was not cooked anywhere near how he ordered it and had zero seasoning. We barely saw our server, the amount of time we spent waiting to order, to get our check, to give the CC was just absurd, and no they were not busy. We both worked in service jobs, so I'm not just saying that, there really was no excuse.

On top of all of that, the prices are ridiculous, even for Key West. Audacious to charge $42 to lousy steak and eggs. From what we can tell, you're paying for the view, good luck with the rest. Save you r time and money, there are so many better options than this place.

Ironic side note -
When we arrived there was a couple at the front complaining to the manager about the poor service and way they were treated. I didn't mean to overhear but it went on for minutes as we waited behind them. We waited bc despite other staff passing by and the manager clearly seeing us waiting, no one acknowledged us at all. In fact the manager dismissed the people with the complaint with a curt sorry and suggestion they leave a yelp review. Too bad we ignored the foreshadowing, lol!

Kasea was a fabulous bartender. We had drinks and a very delicious slice of Key Lime Pie. She was so personable and steered my daughter to a frozen Key Lime Pie Colada that was out of this world. Highly recommend sitting at the bar at Four Marlins at the Hilton Curio The Reach in Key West. Especially when Kasea is working.

Three of us ate dinner here on a weekday in early November. The restaurant was almost empty so we had our choice of tables and sat outside. This was one of our best dining experiences in Key West.

This is elegant oceanfront fine dining. Yes it’s expensive, but for us well worth the ambiance and terrific food and attentive service. For appetizers we had shrimp cocktail (one of the best), grilled focaccia bread (very delicious), and lobster tostadas (yummy). The Four Marlins house salad was fresh and very tasty. The Jumbo Prawns and Grilled Swordfish dinners were incredible. For dessert the Key Lime pie and berry cake hit the spot, as did the espressos and butterscotch martini.

Our server Ashley was very accommodating and at no extra cost gave us a couple of extra pieces of the focaccia bread. She also made sure water glasses stayed filled, and brought multiple samples of wine for us to try.

We had a wonderful evening and would definitely return the next time we vacation in Key West. Our most expensive dinner ($400 excluding tip) but worth it for what we got. Free valet parking is available so no need to Uber here.

Great service and in a beautiful location. Food was good but didn't wow me. Cocktails were fun and lovely.

Dinner was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely waterside. The service was professional and very attentive. I want to thank Eve for all her assistance in helping us secure this reservation and the best seating for our evening. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back!!

Got the beer battered fish entree. Batter was solid. Fish was not cleaned properly, so had to do some picking. Half the fish was ruined, soggy. With it being their most expensive dish, would have expected it to be better. I would say it's on par with bar food. Don't make a stop if you aren't staying at the Hilton. Way better options out there.
