The Dining Room

Having been a regular Sunday Brunch visitor for many years leading up to the resort’s destruction at the hands of Hurricane Irma, we returned with friends as part of a long weekend in Key West. The Sunday Brunches from pre 2017 were a truly spectacular affair, with a cold table, including shrimp and smoked salmon, unlimited small plates of delicious brunch dishes, a fabulous dessert sampler platter, and unlimited champagne, mimosas or bloody Mary’s. Sadly today’s offering is a pale shadow of its predecessor ! A selection of admittedly tasty appetisers, served family style, followed by your choice of one fairly small brunch entree, and a dessert platter, again served family style. There are no longer any complimentary drink accompaniments, and the beverage menu is far from inexpensive. Even after receiving a locals discount, our bill for four, which included only five alcoholic beverages, was just shy of $800.00. Whilst our server was quite charming, and the view and boat ride delightful, this was most certainly not the swan song end to our trip that I had hoped for . We left feeling wholeheartedly deflated, having built the venue up on the basis of past glories. We would not return.

Super overpriced
The manager at the restaurant was incredibly rude and the service was slowwwwww don’t waste your moneh

Way over priced. The food was fair. Service was slow. The manager was rude. Wouldn’t recommend or go back. The only thing that was worthwhile was the view.

This was a top-notch experience beginning to end. We only went for Sunday brunch, did not stay in the hotel. From waiting for the ferry, to seeing the resort, the gift shop, the service at the meal, the meal itself, and the view from the restaurant it was exquisite. A don't-miss experience if you visit the Keys. Only advice is be patient with making a reservation. I had a hard time getting in touch with them via phone and email but after a few days they emailed me back and were more than happy to make a reservation for Sunday brunch.

We enjoyed our first lunch at Little Palm immensely. The location is exquisite, the food is delicious, and the people are wonderful and accommodating!

The food was delicious. Thanks for the service!!

Outrageously expensive AND, the chef is not aiming to please!!!
We were the ONLY customers.
We ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairings.
1st course. Tuna tartar. I said I don't want raw fish. Could I please substitute something. After checking, she asked if white fish would be OK?? I asked if it would be cooked. She said yes. Not only was it raw, but it had scallions. I had specifically asked her to make sure no onions on my salad!
They automatically add a 22%
gratuity??? Our bill was $600.
BUT. Without a doubt, this is by far the most romantic and beautiful setting for a VERY special occasion
It starts with the boat ride over and the wonderful crew as well as the friendly hostess who greets you upon your arrival!!

A hidden oasis as life slows down in the lower keys. We found little palm island resort while planning a trip in the lower keys back country. We motored over to the island for dinner on The Truman, a replica Chriscraft. Situated on a personalized sandbar, the resort restaurant was magnificent. We had our choice of covered or beach area. Our waitress, Claire, spoke with detail about the drink menu and guided our wine selection for dinner. We had a few options for dinner, but everything sounded amazing, there wasn’t a wrong choice. After dessert, the bar was candle lit, emphasizing the sunset. We were ferried back to our car at the end of wonderful night.

The most disappointing part of the experience was the PACKED boat ride over to the Island. I didn't even get to sit with my fiance on the boat and it was our rehearsal dinner. Actually, I had to stand in the back, in the rain...

Then the ride back from the island, same story. WAY over crowded. This time with guests and the staff from the restaurant. A couple of them had trash bags full of trash with them right next to us. As well as they kept looking at my fiances breasts in her nice dress... We both had to stand/sit in the back in the rain while some of the workers from the restaurant were safe and dry inside the boat.

The boat ride there and back ruined the experience.

We were also supposed to have a private table on the beach. We did not.

All in all it wasn't worth the price... I would not recommend it, nor would I do it again.

Little Palm Island was a beautiful experience. From our room to every dining experience was top notch. The trip would not have been the same without our amazing friend Ms. Liz. She works the outdoor bar and was BEYOND exceptional. I cannot put into words her dedication to the island and her job. She truly made us feel at home on the island during our stay and took care of everything single thing we thought about (before we could even think about it). To know Liz is to love her and we are so grateful for our time on the island!

Very bad communication and customer service.
Don't recommend this place

For high-end fine dining place and prices that they have,they lack a response in every possible way, and customer service is aughful.
Reaching out to the on phone is almost impossible.
Nobody will warn you that it is 18+,so if you come with children, your reservation would be canceled.
So keep you fingers crossed if you didn't bring your Cristal ball with you and your Fortune teller is on a vacation

We make a reservation for birthday today, the lady who called us to confirm the reservation (even though I said we were coming with two children) did not mention that children are not allowed, we drive two hours from our resort to get on time for the last ferry 6:30, when we arrived, the woman told us that children are not allowed on the island.

Surprise dinner for an incredibly special anniversary, planned with love and thoughtfulness!The entire experience was exceptional! The reservation and boat staff were thorough and courteous, with the boat ride just adding to the fun and adventure! The island is an incredibly beautiful, romantic destination with beach side dining available! 0ur bartender Tim was friendly and skilled, The pineapple ginger mohito was awesome! Hailey , our server made excellent recommendations and helped the courses flow well . She let us know she would watch our time so we could enjoy our meal. Wagu short ribs and blackened Mahi Mahi were top notch! Flavor explosion!! Everything was impeccable and we will make this an annual event!
