We ordered Clams Casino, but we were served stuffed steamers! When I asked the nasty Albanian waitress (tall one), she told me it's small clams today. No one told me that the clams are anomalously small in size, not a regular clam size, before I ordered them. Then I ordered 6 stuffed oyster samples, oysters were tiny, not fresh, and instead of bacon, there was chewy pork. Next came out Oysters Rockefeller, which was the only spinach and no oysters and no cheese . I called the waitress over, she was very rude! When I showed her the plate, she informed me that how they make them. I asked to speak to the manager. She kept arguing on and telling me that the manager can't help me, it's a joke!!! Finally, after fighting to see the manager come to my table, I never touched the plate. I took the fork and turned over a few oysters to show him there was nothing but spinach. He also had no clue about the food that was made in the restaurant. I asked for the check, the manager brought out the check, and I was not charged. I left Albanian waitress tips for food that was sent back, and she was the nastiest waitress I've ever seen. On the way out, she yelled Don't come back! I have never seen anything like this in my life! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. IT'S A TOURIST TRAP. THEY KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK, SO SERVE BAD FOOD. WE ENDED UP HAVING LUNCH IN ANOTHER PLACE RIGHT ACROSS. WAITRESS WAS SUPER NICE AND THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY, GO ELSEWHERE TO GET GOOD FOOD AND WARM HOSPITALITY.

Oysters on the half shell are a MUST!! So good, large, and fresh. Calamari and shrimp are delicious as well. Been coming to this place for 40 years, the BEST seafood in Key West.

The oyster were delicious! But we also took the conch salad and conch fritters and it was ok. The view was nice.

We stopped in yesterday For lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday and really was not impressed at all. our waitress was good but the food overall was a huge disappointment especially for the price. My husband got the boiled lobster combo around $45the mahi-mahi tasted old with three over cooked shrimp as well as the lobster was so Chewy and dry virtually inedible he only had a few bites of the whole meal, mine which was the boiled combo around $30 mahi-mahi as well did not taste fresh with three overly cooked chewy shrimp , the scallops were OK nothing special just average, coleslaw was good though??‍♀️. Food wise definitely one of the worst meals we’ve had in a while

This used to be our favorite place to go for dinner not anymore. Prices are horrible and food is not good. Cob corn is gross as was the hogfish that was overcooked. Server was not to good & terrible with masks when state of FL says its a choice.
